The tangled mess of wires and machinery I had set up was lagging me down pretty hard and I don't really need it now that I have a laser drill set up. Another question though: I just built a 9x9x9 Big Reactor, 16 fuel rods arranged 2x2 in each corner and surrounded on all sides by gelid cryotheum. Before this I had a similar setup that was only 3 blocks in height, which was hovering around 1000-1100 degrees. So why is this one, which is identical every way except the height, running so hot? Would it be more efficient to use a checkered pattern for the fuel rods instead?

Yep, adjacent fuel rods are pushing up the temperature of the reactor. Checkerboard that if you want to cool it down.

Don't you WANT the reactor to run hot, to produce more power? Even after having it tediously explained a while back BR still confuses me

Ciaphas posted:Don't you WANT the reactor to run hot, to produce more power? If fuel consumption is not an issue, yes -- more heat = more power. Heat increases fuel consumption greater than linearly, IIRC, so there is definitely incentive to use as much cooling as you can muster if you are concerned about fuel use.

Oh no, there are people that want to fragment the community, because they like watching the world burn. But it's really not beneficial in the grand scheme. It's strange how people love the fact that we have a (mostly) unified power system, but saying that I'd like to keep my mod unified is met with any resistance at all. Having a bunch of forks and unofficial versions isn't going to help players or modpacks. For the most part, people are reasonable, but there's always the crazies out there. I don't want to see TE-<whoever edition>-KL-sucks-lawl-4.1.jar cropping up. It could certainly happen already, but I don't want to encourage it.

The crazy self-contradicting mess is what I object to, not the idea of visible-source. Just on principle I wish you could carve out a derivative work exception for private use (ie private builds of CoFHCore for use by friends) but that kind of "No use except some poorly defined A,B,C" structure is how you end up with a bucket of insanity like CJ's "license". CoFH is a good learning tool and the license facilitates that use just fine. Railcraft? Not so much. ffguy fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Sep 27, 2014 |

Maybe I'm just used to nothing working together so it doesn't bother me that it might. It's also easy for me to just become disengaged from the community for half a year of fall out and reorganization. That said, there's been plenty of goon forks and mod mods to circumvent dumb ideas in various mods like IC2 or railcraft (Like railfix.) and I don't see those as a bad thing at all. You're not bad like most of the other modders, but let's be honest here, you're the anomaly. Most of the modders are either children or manchildren, and having their mods shattered and them leaving in disgust would be an objectively good thing for the community. That's not wanting to see the world burn in the slightest.

The more fuel you have reacting in your reactor, the higher the temperature will be and thus higher fuel consumption. Taller fuel rods means more fuel reacting. A checkerboard pattern, as Grimm suggested, is quite space-efficient and works well in wide reactors. Past 400% fertility is pretty decent though. If you want a cooler reactor, either make it wider and shorter or chop it in half and make a second reactor somewhere. You can also lower the control rods to reduce the amount of fuel reacting but that's essentially the same thing as having a shorter reactor! You'd just have a higher yellorium tank at that point. Edit: Oh, actually if you used the same rods in a wider but shorter reactor it'd still get really hot. The fertilization would be higher though, so the fuel consumption would go down.

Is there some trick to getting blue slime in Agrarian Skies? There's a quest for it, and it's very tedious to chop down the trees that would yield it. MFR machines don't handle slime trees. I managed to spawn a green slime using the ex nihilo methods, but I don't see anything similar to acquire a blue slime.

One of the quests gave me a bucket of blue slime water. I used that to spawn a slime, then autospawned it to get the necessary blue slime blocks. IIRC blue slimes only spawn in the slimewater if it's in a lit area. Perhaps during the day.

I could not pull up a recipe for blue slime as a fluid block nor in a bucket. I think online it has been implied there was a quest reward for it that I would have had to have chosen over something else. I do not know which quest it could be, and whether it can be repeated.

It's pretty easy to get going and will pump out a fair amount of RF so you can get some infrastructure going before moving to bigger and better things.

Per my experiments a few months ago, water is completely useless for cooling Big Reactors. Just use destabilized redstone, it has 90% of the efficiency of liquid ender and you only need 120 redstone for the above reactor. Edit: Or energized glowstone, one quick trip to the nether gets that. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 11:07 on Sep 27, 2014 |

If you build a big sloppy reactor, then it's inefficient, but that's the extent of it. I think that something might go terribly wrong if you start using them to make steam to run turbines, but I am pretty sure that this is not the case, and the worst case scenario is once again a lack of efficiency.

CrazyTolradi posted:What exactly happens? I'm looking to dip my toes into using Big Reactors, what's a good coolant to use? layout? etc My current favorite "easy" design is a 7x7x5 reactor with an X of 5 fuel rods in the center, with either Gelid Cryotheum or Resonant Ender coolant. Resonant Ender is better for raw power (and is easier to make), Gelid Cryotheum is better for fuel efficiency (but you'll have to make enough cryotheum to fill the reactor, as Gelid Cryotheum blocks fall). Both will produce gobs and gobs of power. Destablized Redstone and Energized Glowstone also work well. As long as you remember to put fuel rods primarily in direct lines to other fuel rods (not diagonal) and put something other than plain water in, there's no bad Big Reactor design. It's surprisingly easy to work with. If you're nervous, load up a test world and build some test reactors, see what you like.

Thanks, that's quite helpful. I was actually just sitting here thinking about how best to rebuild my reactor (after a few dissatisfying test runs and redesigns last night) when I saw your post. After a bit of research, it's starting to look like the best option might indeed be to make two or three smaller reactors and replace the outermost layer of cryotheum with resonant ender.

Why do you recommend an X when you know how fertilization works? The center fuel rod isn't contributing. Also since flowing blocks count, you don't have to completely fill a reactor with source blocks. If the inner height is 1, you can use surprisingly few buckets, regardless of what type of liquid you're using.

McFrugal posted:Why do you recommend an X when you know how fertilization works? The center fuel rod isn't contributing. Because with cryotheum or ender you're already bypassing 400% fertility at that point, with or without the extra rod. It does significantly increase power production without increasing fuel usage unreasonably. Cryotheum fluid blocks fall. Which I said. (As does Blazing Pyrotheum.) Which is why you have to make enough to fill. In theory, you can probably finagle it so that the flowing blocks to the side work but the difference isn't much and having flowing blocks around both looks bad and feels unreliable to me. Also, if you're doing completely flat reactors, then it doesn't matter at all anyway, but the overall power to materials gets pretty lopsided, since you'll be making two layers of casing for every one layer of fuel. Alkydere posted:Well, there is the comic amounts of graphics lag a glass/"open" turbine casing produces. I'd put that under a "consequence of bad reactor design". Eh. From what I've gotten, reports on the actual lag vary. The one I had on Progress doesn't count since it suffered that desync bug, but I've tested a few others and never seen any significant lag.
