danagor Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Hello again, i'm starting to mess around whit this mod, and i can't find a way to power the centrifuge... i found a comment about orientation here on the forums, but that really didn't help much, also i googled it and i found lots of voltz tutorials, none for tekkit main (1.1.5)... i've tried to use conduits attached to a redstone energy cell to power the machines... nothing..., and the copper wire attaches to the machines but it doesn't attach to energy cells nor tesseracts... thanks in advance for the help and quick response happy weekend Edit: i found a way to power AS batteries whit MFFS, i can power a Coercion Deriver with MJs, then i transfer some power to the AS battery, but when i put the filled battery into the centrifuge nothing happens... also i think this is an exploit, don't really know but you can make a LOT of energy whit that battery on the MFFS Coercion Deriver just, charge and de-charge the battery multiple times on the deriver and you'll get a lot more energy from it Quote
TokiWartooth Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 with out seeing the setup i can't help you, I can only tell you it works, I have mine running just fine. Quote
danagor Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 That's my setup, i used copper cable as well in the same setup and nothing Quote
TokiWartooth Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 centrifuge is powered, I think, but that's not a centrifuge, like not even close. That is a nuclear boiler, i think and you are pumping water into it which would do nothing. I think what you are looking for is a chemical seperator, which takes water and makes deuterium, and takes water and uranite and makes yellowcake, which you place into the boiler to get uranium hexaflouride, come to think of it that takes water too? not sure, point is idk what you thought you were doing is not what you are doing.

Vivacity Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Chemical Separator and Nuclear Boiler Take water. Your Uranium goes into the Chemical Separator, then into your Nuclear Boiler. [Which you have backwards ] Afterwards it goes into your Centrifuge to create the Uranium Patties which get crafted into Fissile Rods. Quote
danagor Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 duh... i feel really stupid... now... let me recap... i want to process the raw uranite ore you would get from mining, i just saw a video from the AS Thread and they use that nuclear boiler (The one i'm trying to power) to make hexaflouride out of uranite ore and water, then the hexaflouride can be processed in a centrifuge giving uranite 235 or 238 don't remember wich, and then i could make the fuel needed to run a fission reactor... but i can't make these machines to work... not even with fully charged batteries Quote
danagor Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 There, i changed to a "Chemical Extractor"... Still nothing Quote
Vivacity Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Like I said in the previous 2 posts. You need to put the Uranium in a Chemical Extractor first to get Yellow cake, you then put the yellow cake in the Chemical Extractor. Quote
danagor Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 NVM... sorry i'm dumb... i putted the ore in the wrong slot... sorry thanks a lot for the help See, you can process uranite on a Nuclear Boiler to make hexafluoride IF you put the uraninite on the right slot... totally my bad :( Quote
danagor Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 Now i'm having annother problem... the turbines on top of the fission reactors ain't working... i made 2 reactors with different heights just in case, none of them seems to work... The turbines don't work, and that cell doesn't recive any power from the reactors Reactor is working, water is boiling, i can hear and see bubbles on the water but no steam is being generated Quote
TokiWartooth Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 you can, it is just massively inefficient to go straight to the boiler, making yellowcake more than triples your output of hexaflouride, I honestly don't know what else could be wrong, personally fission isn't worth the effort it takes atm, or ever really, the byproducts are too costly when you have fusion available. Quote
jakalth Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 From what I have read, you need to go one level of water shallower still... Quote
danagor Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 From what I have read, you need to go one level of water shallower still... Oh i see, got it thanks you can, it is just massively inefficient to go straight to the boiler, making yellowcake more than triples your output of hexaflouride, I honestly don't know what else could be wrong, personally fission isn't worth the effort it takes atm, or ever really, the byproducts are too costly when you have fusion available. Nice i will upgrade to a fusion reactor when i have enough diamonds on my server :) Quote
Karaktar Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 ok im thinking of giving this atomic science a try now that i have a reliable power source (bio fuel) any good tutorials you guys can recommend? Quote
Prototype958 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I haven't seen any good tutorials really for AS, I've been working most of it out myself really. Wish I had seen this thread sooner because I just finished my "basic" fission reactor setup and I'm about to expand it to multiple reactors. My current question is does the reactor only heat the water immediately adjacent to it? Or does it have a radius? Trying to figure out exact placement of my turbines since I built a shitload and half aren't powered from a single reactor. Lol Quote
jakalth Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Think it only spreads out 1 block from the reactor. So 3x3. I may be wrong though. Documentation is sparse. Quote
Prototype958 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Good to know, that's what it seems to be. Also, I thought this would be helpful since I didn't know... Mobs are not effected by radiation and really don't give a shit... Light your reactors... http://imgur.com/w4jpN1 Edit:: They are effected... They just found a safe zone in my enclosure Quote
Dewfire Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I've been able to power four large turbines with one fission reactor. Set up in a cross configuration. The fifth one barely moves though, so may be a coded cap on them or something. Can see my configuration in the post your construction thread. Quote
Prototype958 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Is your reactor in the center of the middle turbine? Because that would tell me that the Fission reactors have a larger range them 3x3. This is my setup that I just finished a few minutes ago. http://imgur.com/HD80gmZ 2 reactors for 6 large turbines. The 2 in the middle were spinning pretty well around 5% power but the outer 4 didn't really pick up until around 10%. Each turbine is only touching the reactor's immediate 3x3 area with one corner and they all seem to be spinning full speed now. Quote
Karaktar Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 can any of you explain how i get my particale axcelerator to work i made a 30x30 ring i gave it power i put an empty cell and and some iron ingots and nothing Quote
CounterfeitSaint Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Is there some trick to finding Uraninite? I generated my world with the latest Tekkit, and I can craft Atomic Science stuff, but I haven't found even a single block of Uraninite in all my spelunking and several quarries. I've found stacks of everything else. Quote
Prototype958 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 It's between layers 2 and 25 I believe an I've found it's only slightly less rare then diamonds. can any of you explain how i get my particale axcelerator to work i made a 30x30 ring i gave it power i put an empty cell and and some iron ingots and nothing I thought it needed something from AS to be fed to it, not iron. I'll look up the video I saw before of the Accelerator and see what it said it needed. Quote
