SpecialJay Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 So, I kind of already posted this on my other account nevertheless I broke a few rules and decided to start fresh... So, my first video I have is my Nuclear Reactor setup, this generates 110 EU per tick and its very efficient. 2 of these (not sure about 1) is enough to power a Mass Fabricator, 2 Overclocked (4x2) Recyclers and charge my MFSU without draining more power than it outputs. Nuclear Reactor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_htpKUlOso Now, Secondly (If thats a word) my way I minimize the piping with Quarrys so I can just place them a million miles away and not have to ruin my landscape and run backwords and forwards. Its probably already been thought of but yeah I like doing it nevertheless. Quarry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofgb6-oF26M Drop me a like, favourite and subscribe? It'll help alot with my future Tekkit videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaJasam Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If your going to post reactor builds, can you please use the planner? Also, the 'efficency' on that reactor is literally as BAD as it can POSSIBLY be. It has unessassary components to boot. While costing a fortune to build. You would be much better off building two of these -> http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner.html?51rw17kf8py2aufnouy=1o10101001501521s1r11r10 Or one of these -> http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner.html?91d4pvxdk5jfa2ukgis427flmclgpi2kz=1k10101001511f21s1r14lflr10 You can find most of the optimal reactors here -> http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=2963 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialJay Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 No, I cannot use it because I don't like using it. Nevertheless Its Tekkit? Nothing costs a fortune to build once you have Condensers, Collectors and Relays. Nevertheless this powers all my machines so It works quiet fine for me.

RyZup Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 What he was trying to tell you is that there are more efficient ways compared to what you did. Best bang for your buck as they say. About the condensers and collectors part I just comment something from my own opinion, that is not to be taken as offense in any way: I think that they ruin the fun a little bit and the thing you do is actually abuse the system (or you can do it, not necessarily ofc) by using them . Not accusing you or anything just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialJay Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 I know he was, I was just saying I like it this way. And Equivalent Exchange was put there to be used, I don't really use condensers or anything but he said there expensive so I just used EE as an example of making them Cheaply. I use Condensers for TNT and stuff. Explosives win :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringburka Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Well, with high-end EE stuff energy doesn't really matter. You don't really need nuclear plants then, you can just hook up 60 or so perfectly safe geothermal generators for an output of 1200 with far more ease. Nuclear reactors matter mostly if you don't want to use EE (or at least not the collectors). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialJay Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Like I said, I only used EE in them videos for stuff like TNT, When you have 3 stacks of red matter and like 4 stacks of dark matter there's no point in mining :L Thats the only problem about EE is it takes the "Mine" out of "Minecraft" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaJasam Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I was objecting to you calling it an 'Efficent Setup'. It's literaly as 'ineffecent' as possable. Both in terms of cost and output. I wouldn't even call it perticualy safe, as with maximal water it only has equal cooling/heating. If you tryed to automate the replenishment of the uraniaum thus needing a pipe, it would eventualy explode. Also, some advice posting an all around useless rector design /as a video/ rather then an image and then asking for likes/subs is a very bad way of getting them and looks poor apon you. If you want people to be liking/subbing your content, make sure it provides some real value. Do a tutorial on an /exceptional/ design, something that people can really make use of and you're /much/ more likly to be subed/liked. If your not provding some value, don't bother, as there are dozerns who are. Value of course can be humour, useful tutorials, unique content, anything of real quality. What your doing is like all those people who strap together a crappy adventure map, or just a medeocre world seed and then throw it in a thread with an ad.fly link.

havocx42 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 ... Nuclear Reactor setup, this generates 110 EU per tick and its very efficient.... I was wondering by what metrics you are judging this efficient? In terms of efficiency of uranium to power output it is, as has been mentioned, the worst possible. In terms of resources consumed to power output it is also pretty poor. You could create two of the two chamber setups that OmegaJasam posted for less resources and more power. In case anyone is interested here is the design that SpecialJay shows in his youtube video at 1:16 http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner.html?hixpo7mwliuurwoiev67deg7ndbaaaxbgql3jch1ymskggtvk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing costs a fortune to build once you have Condensers, Collectors and Relays. Nevertheless this powers all my machines so It works quiet fine for me. Nevertheless, most serious servers have EE disabled. And it's not efficient at all. Use the reactor planner, it's almost the exact same as doing it ingame, and is much easier to view in a glance than a YouTube video. If you don't want to use it because you don't like it, then people are going to mock you, simple as that. And when EE is enabled, why use reactors anyway when you can just pull a stack of Geothermal Generators and Lava Cells out of your ass? This setup is the best i have ever made and it has an unlimited amount of cycles.

However I just had a look at your design by copy pasting the string into the slot (doesn't the copy URL button work for you?) maybe I'm doing it wrong but it doesn't seem that great, it has a low efficiency(1) and doesn't output a huge amount of power. This is the link to what I get when I put your string in: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner.html?hixr4oywf2fo70vgu572t4gqn1mdox3e6kweynslv0gi48if4 Here is a great 6 chamber design from the nuclear engineering thread: Mark I-O EC, 6-Chamber, 70.00 EEU/t, 14m EU/cycle by gloomwalker (Revised Edition) And here is one with a higher power output but still achieving an efficiency of 1.5 Mark I-O ED, 6-Chamber, 120.00 EEU/t, 24m EU/cycle by Esiliare (variation of Wesnc's Mark II-4 ED Reactor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprolo Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 The most efficient reactor attainable in the current version of Tekkit is actually an Mk1-0 ice-cooled forcefield protected reactor using dual reactor heat controllers to maintain a safe temperature of below 500 degrees. This design is so safe and efficient that it can hold 6 chambers filled completely with uranium cells and no internal cooling mechanisms, and if the cooling is lost the explosion will only affect the reactor itself. Additional security can be added in the form of thermal monitors, which could prevent a meltdown of any sort. This design will produce far too much power for any type of cable, so a HV transformer is required immediately after the Reactor Connector.

Not the best thing you'd like to have. In fact, it requires 15 blocks of ice per second. That's 9600 ice blocks per cycle, which is insane. You'd only be able to get that with EE or a huge amount of compressors. If you have enough power to have that many compressors and systems working at once, why bother with a reactor?

Cloneco Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 i used the geo gens not as good as you say you really have to watch them or they run out or don't dispearse the lava cells correctly. I used 130 at my last base and the reactor was cheaper and much more efficant to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
