Best Yellorium reactor design

[Gorian]

buffer (plasma is weird lately O.o). Steam funnels, to liquiducts, to tesseracts, to my liquid storage. From there, steam is tesseracted to turbines.

Excellent.  Total glass case it is!

 

Going to have to sort out my coolant then.  The 4 blocks leave air gaps in the corners that I will have to deal with.  I assume the best strategy with ender is to place a complete layer across the top of the reactor?  Cryo would require a source block in every space?

Does the reactor/turbine have a limit to its output or is it infinite RF/t?

The glass has purely cosmetic value, and it increases the building cost a little. Since 0.3, you only get one block of Reactor Glass for each block of Reactor Casing - it used to be more than that.

 

A Yellorium Reactor makes no distinction between source and flowing liquid blocks. So Cryotheum is actually the only liquid requiring a complete source-block fill, because it will not stay put once placed. All other liquids are fine with a top-layer fill only.

 

I think that the Power Tap has no limits, but Redstone Conduits peak out at 10k RF/t, so that will probably be your limit for a while. Extra Utilities has stuff that can take more, but remember that Resonant Energy Cells also have the 10k RF/t limit per side, so anything higher will require a bit of planning.
