TakeruDavis: /* Epic reactor setup */

== Nuclear Reactor exploding ==

Main page mentions that Nuclear Reactor has chance of exploding, however it does not mention any clear indication of reactor going to explode nor is it cooling related or not.

It would help alot if there could be found some statistics what is chance of non cooled reactor to explode and how to make cooling that eliminates the chance of unhoped meltdown.

In addition to above [[MFS_Unit]] is very recommended to use to collect power output from Reactor.

{{Reply|user=Feanturi|space=:|agree=reply|reply=Well idk the chance of explosion without water, but with water the chance is 0,0005% per frame (if i mention right)}}

Yeah, I could think something like that.

Also I did notice that without cooling reactor is almost certain to explode with less than one uranium used (4 fuel ingots), so running reactor without cooling is seriously unadviced unless you want to blow that place up.

==Explosion==

I was wondering what the blast of the reactor would be, as in: how many TNT would equal it. Not I'm anxious, but just wondering, as I have never witnessed a nuclear blast.

[[User:Dn5|dn5~]] 21:35, 23 June 2011 (CEST)

{{Reply|user=Feanturi|space=:|agree=nukes/reactors|reply=Nukes and reactors dont got the same explosion like TNT^^ they are "silent" :P}}

== Explosion Mechanics ==
Like nukes and TNT, does being submerged in water stop a reactor's explosion from damaging other blocks?

If so, submerging the reactor serves a dual purpose of preventing the explosion and preventing the damage.

[[User:Werewolf nr|Werewolf nr]] 19:10, 6 July 2011 (CEST)

:Somebody said reactor evaporates nearby water after reaching certain temperature, so it a) would no longer cool it and b) would not stop the explosion --[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 19:23, 13 October 2011 (CEST)
{{Reply|space=::|user=Feanturi|agree=Changes Water|reply=After reaching a certain temperature, the reactor turns water into lava... so it gets even more heat^^}}
::Once again, I would refer to "somebody said" (... it turns solid blocks into lava), but since I see you are Dev, I have to trust you. Also, havent read (on Nuclear Reactor page itself) about lava being external heat source (even though it naturally would be, game mechanics could have been different...).
:: I wonder about three things... 1)is this created lava collectable by buckets (= is it made of lava source blocks) and 2) does adjaced Ice block (not stack inside reactor) cool the Hull as well or does only water cool it? 3) just to clarify... it does not work with buildcraft pipe systems, does it? cause sadly, I could not connect them to reactor, while macerators, E-furnaces and other stuff was no problem... (3b-any chance you change that? )--[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 03:20, 14 October 2011 (CEST)
::: One more question, it seems like RedPower mod wirings do succesfully stop Reactor only when it goes directly into Reactor, however it does not work when applied to adjaced chamber. I know compatibility of two different mods is usually least of issues devs need to solve, as nobody can be sure what players actually install and what they dont... still, (after all, both IC and RedPower... and previously mentioned BuildCraft were all in merged into one pack) if you have an idea, why could that be and if there is any solution to that, we would be GLaD. --[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 15:51, 14 October 2011 (CEST)
:::: Oh, it (reactor + pipes) does work, but not with chambers, pipe needs to go into reactor itself. Just as same as powering with redpower instead of redstone ...--[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 03:13, 15 October 2011 (CEST)

:: * What? People who have built and use Reactors using IC2 are saying water evaporates into air and solid blocks turn into lava on the forums. --[[User:Trifler|Trifler]] 04:39, 14 October 2011 (CEST)

== Epic reactor setup ==

I have found a way to get the absolute most from a nuclear reactor! :D the setup below appears to ''never drain coolant cells'' and leaves plenty of room for integrated reactor plates!(cc=coolant cell, rp=integrated reactor plates, uc=uranium cell. hope you find this useful. works with reactor with 6 chambers. Cannot guarantee this will work if altered)

: Well, this layout might be one of safest, but definitively not one that gets most from the reactor. Read more about reactor efficiency (placing Uranium cells right next to each other would increase their output) --[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 23:27, 15 October 2011 (CEST)

Has this been removed from the game? I can't find it in TMI

{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=removed|space=:|reply=ye, it has been removed in IC²}}

any other way to control EU current? --[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 03:09, 14 October 2011 (CEST)
* You can now create cable intersections just by connecting cables. Unfortunately since the game calculates all possible routes for the current to flow every tick, having lots of intersections causes CPU strain. You can use any of the storage blocks (BatBox, MSE, MFE) to combine cables without causing CPU strain. Transformers can be used to split cables without CPU strain. Unfortunately you need two transformers if you want to maintain the same voltage. If you just need one "T" intersection in your cable then that's not an issue. CPU strain is also much less of an issue in single player than it is on a multiplayer server. --[[User:Trifler|Trifler]] 04:55, 14 October 2011 (CEST)
::I know how to split it, but I want to control it with redstone. If powered, going to, I dont know, macerator for example, if unpowered, to... mass fabricator...--[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 11:49, 14 October 2011 (CEST)
::: Hmm yeah that's different. I'm pretty sure you can put a lever on a BatBox to turn current from it on and off, so you could split your cable and put a BatBox on each cable *after* the split, then put a lever on each. Best I can think of. --[[User:Trifler|Trifler]] 12:24, 14 October 2011 (CEST)
::::Indeed it does (MFU and MFS does so as well). Well, not exactly what I expected, but I bet it still does the work :-D --[[User:TakeruDavis|TakeruDavis]] 15:44, 14 October 2011 (CEST)
