chicagohorsegirl Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 http://thetekkit.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial_/_Safe,_Easy,_%26_Powerful_Nuclear_Reactor I built that exact nuclear reactor, but I'm clueless on how to get power out of it! All of the pages I've seen say to use hv cables, but they wont even connect! I REALLY NEED HELP, thanks. Also, if this post is in the wrong forum category, sorry, I just joined I'm new to tekkit/technic too, so I know... little about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pig slayer Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 As far as I know you should use the heavier insulted copper cables (I don't know what you call them) and just connect it out the side or top into a HV transformer or a MFSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagohorsegirl Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks, but I just figured it out, I think. I think that you have to put a block of dirt, and then put the cable in top of it, next to the reactor. Thanks, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagohorsegirl Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Dang, actually I can't get power out of it. I'm pretty sure the transformers are facing the right way, but theres just no power coming out! What's wrong with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pig slayer Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 is the reactor on and u shouldnt place the reactor too far away or the power wont make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaik Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 You should be able to hold shift and then place the cable on the reactor normally. Anything with an interface that opens with right click will open the interface instead of placing the block in your hand if you aren't holding shift, not just nuclear reactors.

chicagohorsegirl Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 No, I am holding shift (well, f in my game), It just won't place. When I put the block next to the reactor and put the HV-cable on it, it appeared to connect to the reactor. Also, pig, I didn't even make it five blocks before I noticed that the power wasn't working. The cable is 4x insulated, if that helps. If you want me to post some screenshots, then just say so. Thanks for trying to help so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pig slayer Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 yeah let me see what your doing to the poor reactor :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagohorsegirl Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ok. Here you are, but I also put a picture of my failure oil refinery, which won't give me fuel but I can see it in the bottom of the refinery: If they aren't loading: reactor refinery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampdog Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Well I can help with your reactor, the transformers are around the wrong way, the 3 dotted side is the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagohorsegirl Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 OhHOOOOOO! I though it was the output... facepalm. Thanks, I'll try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagohorsegirl Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 YES! YESYESYESYEsysesyEYsal jkgmfx,as;l. Yeah. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagohorsegirl Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ok, I probably seem really stupid. One more question. Is there a way to get power 300 meters away without making 300 meters worth of cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampdog Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yes. Something along the lines of Reactor -> Energy link -> Power Teleport pipes -> Engine Generator Also avoid double/triple posting, they tend to take that sort of thing seriously here, use the edit button.

freakachu Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 if you don't want to lose EUs to converting them back and forth, you can use an MFSU cart and railcraft's EU loaders/unloaders to transport the power. also, lapotron crystals combined with ender chests or item teleport pipes.

aceclown Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 What's the energy loss on glass fibre? I always thought there was very little but 300 blocks may be pushing it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakachu Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 What's the energy loss on glass fibre? I always thought there was very little but 300 blocks may be pushing it... IIRC it's 1 EU/40 blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagohorsegirl Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Ok, hampdog, how exactly do you set that up? I tried, but nothing really happened... considering the fact that I have no idea what any of those thing are, except the reactor, of course. Oh, and sorry about the edit thing, guys, didn't really notice it. So tiny... So.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
