Bigger Reactors

Official Continuation of Erogenous Beef's Big Reactors

Bigger Reactors is the official continuation of the original Big Reactors mod, by Erogenous Beef.

Some things may not work the same as the original, and bugs are to be expected. If you find any, please report them on the Github Issues page, NOT here! Do read through the list first, though, as your bug may of already been reported.

 

You want power? We got power. BiggerReactors is an energy generation mod based on the original by Erogenous Beef. Semi-inspired by real reactor designs, this mod allows for mix-n-match reactors to generate lots of power. Each block you place can change the overall performance of a reactor.

• Higher fuel efficiency? Yep.

• More power? Uh-huh.

• A giant reactor just to flex on your friends? Sure.

All you need to get started is some reactor casing, a power tap, access port, fuel & control rods, and terminal. Then just pipe/hopper in some Yellorium or Blutonium, flip the switch, and you're off!

Need more power? Just build some BiggerReactors.

 

Notable changes from the original:

• Reactor and turbine GUI buttons work slightly differently than the original. They're toggle-in-place rather than to the side like the original.

• Access ports no longer have an internal buffer, GUI serving only to change modes. Items must be pushed in (i.e. via a hopper), and will not be pulled in automagically.

• Overspeeding turbines for high power generation no longer works (or at least isnt recommended), as an efficiency cap now exists. Turbine efficiency will decrease if you go too fast.

• Values used in reactor calculations are now highly configurable, with almost every internal value changable via the config.

• Turbines now required two rotor bearings, one at each end

• Reactors and Turbines now have dynamic energy buffers to support much larger reactors and turbines that could generate more than the full buffer in one tick. (CC API scales the amount as if it was a 10MiRF/1MiRF buffer, use the new methods to get actual info)

 • Reactors no longer have a steam production limit, built them as big as you like

 • Turbines are not limited to 2B/t, they automatically adjust their limits based on their size

 • The default max size limits have changed, Reactors may be built up to 128x128x192, turbines up to 32x32x192
