I've got mine set up and working but it doesn't seem to be lowering the control rods at all. Energy stored is at 100% and the output is limited to 16k per tick but the rods are still at 0%.
can you give me more info, can you guys send me an image of your setup on twitter. is the setup in one chunk? did it happen straight away? after a server restart? after you left the chunk? I tested in SP and everything was working for me :S. also, what modpack?
Thanks for the video. For anyone confused about the Lua BIOS like I was, its crafted using the EEPROM and a OpenComputers book. That puts the Lua BIOS on it so you can boot.
Just wanted to say thank you for this program. I stumbled across it some time ago, and have used it in quite a few builds. It makes using reactors so much easier. Less fuel consumed, less babysitting, less worrying about power running out when afk for awhile or off in another dimension somewhere. Wonderful. Thanks again! Edit: a note to anyone using Extreme Reactors for early game, making a wide but shallow (5x5x1 or 7x7x1) reactor uses little materials, and is extremely efficient.
Amazing. Well explained and easy to follow along if you're not familiar with OC. I've always wanted to get into OC and now you've given me a reason to. Thanks man!
I've been looking for a lua program for my extreme reactor and it was a pain in the butt. But after watching this video, this one works flawlessly! The video was really helpful and informative, and the program is great! Nice job!
hey I have a problem with the code and I think paste bin every time i try to put in the code and then do start.lua it will do the normal success and then a moment will go by and then it will give me and response code: 403 for URL from Https://pastebin.com/raw/sjJi0bum: stack traceback then it will give me some other irreverent shit any way how to make it go like yours did btw i did do that fix or what ever ?
+lies damnlies did not know you could do that. But in the new versions of opwn computer, this has been fixed. My fix was temporary or for people that have the version with the old paths
Ok i have the computer all tier 3, 5x3 screen with keyboard, Installed LUA from floppy, did pastebin get on your code, code downloads no problem, Running the startup fails with the following error (also a screenshot to show its using the computer port legacy ibb.co/d9QN8w ibb.co/cXcr1G can anyone see where i have gone wrong? Thanks
what modpack, version of OpenComputer, version of big reactor and version of forge? you seem to have all the same issue, but it can't be replicated on my end...
First of all i would like to thank you for your amazing program and the fact that after all this time you still give support to those who ask for it... truly a rare nowadays So i used this tutorial and your program a lot of times and it worked flawlessly, but today i ran into an issue i could not resolve. Modpack: Direwolf20 1.12.2 (v1.4.0), Mod version: 0.4.5.44 I keep getting this error: unsupported resolution: stack traceback: [C]: in function 'error' machine:986: in function (...tail calls...) /home/reactor.lua:13: in main chunk (...tail calls...) I checked everything and i'm definitly using a reactor computer port. I suppose something changed in the mod between 1.10.2 and 1.12.2 and that's why it's not working anymore, as this is the first time i'm using it in 1.12.2
I'm so dumb... of course it was the graphic card... i checked it around 5 times and never realized that it was a tier 1 card... argggh.... anyway it's working again, thank you for the support =)
This is great! Thank you. I tried a program called Safe Reactor, doesn't seem to work with extreme reactors and just says "not connected" even though the computer was right on the adapter port on the reactor. This is a really cool little GUI for babysitting the reactor, good job :)
To anyone wanting to edit scripts in an external text editor, in the OpenComputers config file there is an option that will be of interest to you: bufferChanges (make sure you read in the config file WHY the option is important!). Then the location of your file system in the Minecraft dir is \opencomputers\ ("ID" being the in-game OpenComputers hard drive ID).
this is amazing i could never find programs for opencomputers and then I could this I have learned a lot about how opencomuters work and how you can program them from this video and your code thank you
Thank you for doing all the heavy lifting! This is a niche topic and there aren't many contributes and the documentation is awful, so thank you again for putting this work in!
I gathered as much, rigth now Im trying to wrap my little brain around the button api, and figure out exactly how it works n stuff. ._. I'm terrible at lua, and even more terrible at making any kind of gui thingy. Unfortunately there are so few tutorials on how to do this stuff. ._.
API.setTable("NAME", functionName, xStart, xdistance, yStart, ydistance, ,Text, {on = colors.ON, off = colors.OFF}) API.screen() event.listen("touch", API.checkxy) while event.pull(0.05, "interrupted") == nil do do stuff end that is how you use it pretty much Maybe that can help?
That actually is helpful. O_o thanks. I'm actually trying to setup an app for my tablet, so controll my nanomachines via touch rather than manually typing in each command. I'll just have to play with it till it starts to get intuitive.
shoudnt be too hard, create a button linked to a function that has the command in it and it should work. you might have to use os.execute or something like that in it
You can get the same effect with just 2 rednet ports and 2 rednet cables, you just dont get the big visual monitor. Basically if done right it will insert the fuel rods based on its internal power storage, so the more power sitting in the reactor, the less power the reactor makes and the less fuel it burns. You can also set it up with redstone ports and redstone to turn the reactor off once it's above x% capacity, and back on below y%
Nice program! Glad to see someone giving a spin to the computer port :) Got a couple of questions if you don't mind. Does it manage multiple reactors and Tesla? Do you think some methods are missing from the computer port interface? We are already adding one to get the total energy capacity of the reactor (and turbines too), so if you think something else could be useful let us know and we will look into it
thanks, the program only does one reactor. The total energy capacity is a static number in itself, so i wouldn't really need a function for that. If in some way, the capacity would change with the size of the reactor, then it would be a nice addon, but in this case, a Reactor is 10mil and a turbine is 1mil
glad you like it :) I do want to warn you that, electric arrows and flame arrows may have dangerous consequences on the program execution, you should keep those at least 25 ft away from the computer
idk what is wrong with mine, ive followed step by step on couple guides and everytime i get to the reboot part when it should be the controls after reboot its back to default home
It doesn't work for me. The paste bin link downloaded a file with some HTML in it so I deleted it and replaced it with a copy & paste of the lua from pastebin but it doesn't work. I also don't have a "Home folder" and the ".." command doesn't work for me :/
Would it be possible to take something like this(oc.cil.li/topic/1596-multi-screenscreen-mirroring/) and add it into the code so there could be multiple screens around the base?
Hey @Krakaen I have the Opencomputers on the minecraft version 1.7.10 and I have error about the Invalid number and also it will saying something about xpcall function. Do you know how to fix it?
+Krakaen I cannot get the program to activate because no matter what I do, it seems it does not register clicks. Everything is setup as per the video, although I am trying it on a 1x1 screen due to a lack of obsidian at the moment. What's the minimum screen size? Is it possible that's what is affecting the clicking?
Hmm I've done everything the same way as you and it's displaying the program. The button pressing doesn't seem to work though. I click on the screen to change a value on the auto control and nothing happens. Having said that, I wanted some control rod management and that's exactly what this program seems to be doing so I'm happy enough for it to be as it is
the coolants are real bad right now, i think the best one is manyullyn, but then again... it isn't really good. in the video, i used a mix of manyullyn and graphite and diamond blocks, which don't do much haha
Even though I set auto-control to max 60%, and min 40%, it still sets control rod level over and under it and temperatures goes up to 1600c. Also the server said it couldn't find reactor so I had to use regular computer
+Justcampus it is not a limitation on the rods, it regulates the power in the reactor to be between those numbers but controlling the rods to make more or less power
You probably won't see this comment, but my control rod level is stuck at 100% whenever I use this program, rendering the reactor useless. When I go to change it on the control rod, after I set it it immediately goes back to 100%. What do I do?
Is there any way to prevent control rod insertion from going below a certain amount? Because going anything below 85% makes my reactor extremely inefficient, and I don't need it. But since I'm filling up a draconic evolution power ball it keeps drawing max power from the reactor, and your program makes the control rods go to 0%
the only way would be to change a couple of things in the code... like... 7-8 places. the program will make the reactor give you what you need and since you are filling the ball, it takes all because there is no restriction. you could use a fluxgate from draconic evolution to control the RF going in the ball, I think that would be simpler
Is there a GitHub? I made some changes to support capacitor banks as batteries. It now renders 4 bars with the fourth being battery capacity and shows total rf being drained. Loved how you organised the code, made a beginner like me able to easily make these changes
I really like this programm, but is there a way to shut down a reactor when a battery(induction matrix from mekanism or the capacitor bank from ender io) is full? Because i am using the extreme reactor to produce steam and not RF.
Sorry, this one doesn't do such a thing :S It is also not made to do something like that, but i am sure there is a way to make a program for that if you look at the OC api
actually u can copy/paste with opencomputers. to paste is the insert key, by default, to paste contents of clipboard on screen (of course it's text only)
@krakaen great video. I set it up and its displaying the info correctly. Only problem that I have is the button is not working. Im running FTB Revelation 1.1 ****Simple restart of the computer case and everything is running smooth*** THANKS FOR THE VID !!!
I was wondering if there was a way to configure the reactor.lua script to have a main terminal (screen and all not a remote terminal) connect via wireless to another terminal attached to the actual reactor within 80m so you could have a command center setup.
HI !not work for me , sorry for my english , i'm french . in the screen i see : boot/04_component.lua:68: no primary 'br_reactor' available: stack traceback: [C]: in function 'assert' boot/04_component.lua:68: in fonction (...tail calls...) /home/reactor.lua:7: in main chunk (...tail calls...)

+Teufeurdu21 , Airsoft, Unboxing & Test est ce que tu utilises la version 0.4.5.41 de extreme reactor? Il y a un probleme avec le mod qui a été résolu dans les versions plus récente
Hi, couldnt get the screen to work for the controls etc, visuals all work fine, just the adjustment side of it isnt working, tried shift+right click and also opened it and tried with left click. still nothing. Any idea what might be going wrong? im using Extreme Reactors and OpenComputers in the ProjectOzone 1.12.2 modpack.
no worries. fixed itself, dont know why it wasnt working but my power went out and when i rebooted the system it works, dont know why it didnt work on previous restarts
Hi, i just have a problem that started few days ago, every time i log out from server and log back in my screen resolution changes, no matter how many screens is there even if there is just one. Also happening when i use rft dim or any tp device. All is chunkloaded and working fine but screen meeses up. Thanks
there was updates lately to mods, did you recently update your modpack to a more recent version? this seems to be an issue with OpenComputer, not my program. The resolution is handled by the mod itself, You should probably report the issue on their website
Krakaen thanks so much for reply and this perfect program. I never thought its problem with your program :) i was just trying to find solution for problem that happened. Thanks for advice and looking forward to see some DE reactor program from you heh. Keep up great work my friend.
How do you change the level of the control rods?. mine keep going back into the controller when the automation device is on. Also the computer buttons stop working after a while
hey is there any way to access this program remotely using a tablet with a link card, I wanna have it running on a screen at my base but I also wanna be able to see how much RF my reactor is producing from anywhere in the world
Hey guy, could u tell me what blocks u are using for cooling the fuel rods in your reactor? Im playin Direwolf20 and SkyFactory3 for 1.10.2 and allways have trouble with cooling the reactor when i build a bigger one. Only diamond blocks are not enough. Wich fluids are the best for cooling in this Version? Gelid Cryotherm ist a part from ThermalExpansion i think and its not available... This Reactor is driving me crazy. Ive build one in Direwolf20 witch is 20x20x7 for feeding my Tier7 Draconic Energy Core and with diamond blocks for cooling it uses 17mB of fuel... the first setup with 7x7x7 also needed at least 2mB fuel with diamond Blocks when it run on 100%. I think its pretty much fuel use.
ok thanks u. Now i have trouble to get this program running. Ive configurated and installed the computer like u did it in this video. when i start the pastebin download an error is displayed on screen and the start.lua is empty. trying to find the pastebin.lua but i havnt found it yet. it doesnt matter if i download your program or others, all files were empty when i try to edit them. and ich couldnt find the pastebin.lua file. could u help me?
here is a link to the screenshot i took from the screen while showing the error. link is from my dropbox. www.dropbox.com/s/wbn5zgc9swf6ojt/pastebin_error.png?dl=0
ok, i fixed the download problem, but i dont know how ;P , now there is another problem. i can download the start.lua and i also can run it, then it downloaded the other files from pastebin and then came an error with the reason of my resolution. it tells me that i use an unsupportet resolution. i looked in the reactor.lua and there is written in line 13 resolution 132 38. i cant change my system to that resolution and i dont know why. i had to say that this is my first work on opencomputers. i dont have any experience on programming this machine. the screen is 5x3 with Tier3 screens from opencpmputers. GraphicCard Tier3, CPU Tier3, HardDrive Tier3, the same setup u choose in this video and it doesnt work...
So as I run the program start.lua it gives me the error "boot/04_component.lua:69 no primary 'br_reactor' available" Any clue as to why? Im playing on the latest version of FTB Beyond.
I am actually using this on sf3 and it works great at the moment... there is not a lot of updates on there, there is even a check on if the information is different before making an update to the screen, if there is any lag, it doesn't come from the program itself but from something in the mod itself. But then again, i don't see lag on my server where we are 2 to use this program
Hey Krakaen this looks awesome and i thought i followed you step but i'm getting an error on supported resolution but i'm using tier 3 screens on a 3x5 as you did. Any ideas? I can post a screenie if you give me an address if it will help! thanks man!
normally, even the number of screen wouldnt change anything with this, it would only depend on the screen itself, a tier 3 should be able to take 140+ pixel wide and i use 138... I don't know really, you could send me a screenshot on my twitter if you want me to check it
Ah yeah, while I personally prefer OC over CC, I do admire CC, though CC's time is over now that the dev is a game dev in career, by his game/first game you can tell it was the person who made CC giving a cute charm to it.
I can't seem to get it working ( I did have it running before), it seems like "pastebin get" is giving me empty files while the pastebin pages are still existing like they should
+TheMaam27 some people in the commenta had the issue too, there was an error in a file of opencomputer. I don't remember the fix, but if you look in the comments, you should be able to find it. Not on a computer... Can't help more, sorry
Good program to have, but running into a small issue everytime i log out and in or after a server restart I get the error "Unrecoverable Error no bootable medium found: /init.lua". I go through the whole install process in order to fix it.
hum... that is wierd..., you have a hard drive and all? that might be something you could ask the mod author, because i do not think it would be cause by my program
Hi, i made verything like you, but nothing happends after the reboot, for a second, I can see a red text, but not more, once it worked for me, but today it is broken
I am having the same issue as TheMaam. Could you please explain how to edit the pastebin.lua? Found this in the comments below, but I have no idea how to do it lol Krakaen2 months ago the is an issue with openComputer that makes it that you can't get the file from their command. in the computer find pastebin.lua (to list programs, you can do ls) in pastebin.lua, at the line: [local url = "pastebin.com/raw.php?i=" .. pasteId], change it to [local url =
So i got it to install and i see the screen with the buttons and information. But i cant actually click on anything neither shift clicking nor right clicking then int he opened display click anything.
Ok, so i'm on SF3 on a server and we are trying to get the code on OpenComputers to work, we then get an error saying (on startup): boot/04_component.lua:69: no primary 'br_reactor' available: stack traceback: [C]: in function 'assert' boot/04_component.lua:69: in function (...tail calls...) /home/reactor.lua:7: in main chunk [C]: in function 'xpcall' machine:751: in function 'xpcall' /lib/process.lua:94: in function
cant seem to download via pastebin. it says it's successful but the file is always empty when i open it with edit. Also tried to download the other files manually but these are also empty.
Fixed it myself now. The pastebin.lua had the line: [local url = "pastebin.com/raw.php?i=" .. pasteId], I changed it to [local url = "pastebin.com/raw/" .. pasteId] and it works fine now.
oh.... what modpack are you playing? the file you changed is from openComputer, it doesn't come from my program, it must be that pastebin changed something in there side for links, saddly, this will probably break a lot of things
I know it was from OC itself, just wanted to let other people know what was wrong. I'm using Sky Factory 3, default settings from the curse launcher. Also posted this problem and the solution in the OC forums, so maybe they'll have a look at it.
The keyboard actually doesn't need to be on the screen. You can place a block in the front of the screen and put keyboard there. It just has to connect to the screen. www.dropbox.com/s/8fmq9ov34ed5187/2017-12-28_00.05.04.png?dl=0
the is an issue with openComputer that makes it that you can't get the file from their command. in the computer find pastebin.lua (to list programs, you can do ls) in pastebin.lua, at the line: [local url = "pastebin.com/raw.php?i=" .. pasteId], change it to [local url = "pastebin.com/raw/" .. pasteId]
I just followed the guide and did everything exactly as you did it. I get an error on OC /bin/pastebin.lua:28: Connection refused: connect: stack traceback: [C]: in function 'error' /lib/internet.lua:50: in function 'for iterator' /bin/pastebin.lua:28: in function 'get' /bin/pastebin.lua:136: in main chunk (...tail calls...) [C]: in function 'xpcall' /lib/process.lua:63: in function I am an LUA nobody. I haven't a clue. I just copy you programmers word for word and pray. Any help would be welcome.
could you send me a picture of your setup on my twitter? also, do you have it all in one chunk, over multiple chunks? I just tested for me and it worked with a game close, a chunk unloaded. With more informations, I might be able to figure out why it is not working for you
How do I get the Floppy OS? I only have a floppy, and can't find a recipe for the OS one. Might be a dumb question, but I have no experience with this mod. edit: I found the answer, the recipe for it wasn't in this modpack though. (All The Mods for 1.10)
For me its forcing the control rods to 100% and stops the reactor from generating power and changing the percentage on the program doesn't fix it the only way to fix it is to turn the computer off :/
New version! added handling of new functions from extreme reactor. Let me know if it does not work like before
I've got mine set up and working but it doesn't seem to be lowering the control rods at all. Energy stored is at 100% and the output is limited to 16k per tick but the rods are still at 0%.
Looks like the version of extreme reactors and zero core from the 2nd of June changed something involving OC and Lua...
i will look when i have the time, today or tomorrow, but the change was done to extreme reactor about 1 month ago
The same thing is happening to me
can you give me more info, can you guys send me an image of your setup on twitter. is the setup in one chunk? did it happen straight away? after a server restart? after you left the chunk? I tested in SP and everything was working for me :S. also, what modpack?
Thanks for the video. For anyone confused about the Lua BIOS like I was, its crafted using the EEPROM and a OpenComputers book. That puts the Lua BIOS on it so you can boot.
Finally transitioning from ComputerCraft to OpenComputers, and I'm glad to see that my favorite CC reactor control program is also on OC.
Dude this is AWESOME! Not only that but the tutorial was high quality. Clear and concise. You're a legend
Now I have a computer inside a game on my computer.
Just wanted to say thank you for this program. I stumbled across it some time ago, and have used it in quite a few builds. It makes using reactors so much easier.

Thank you so much, works perfectly :) I ran into no problems following the video. Works excellent on 1.12.2. Keep it up :)
Amazing. Well explained and easy to follow along if you're not familiar with OC. I've always wanted to get into OC and now you've given me a reason to. Thanks man!
my pleasure :) It is a nice mod, a lot of things to learn though :D

Best just put the code on github and then use OPPM.
+lies damnlies did not know you could do that. But in the new versions of opwn computer, this has been fixed. My fix was temporary or for people that have the version with the old paths

unsupported resolution normally means that the screen you have are not the correct level, did you use Screens level 3? and a graphic card level 3?

For those that are having issues with connectivity in 1.12, Make a computer port (Extreme Reactors) and connect the computer to it.
It's a nice app. I would love to see an expanded version, with manual control rod insertion.
I don't really have it planned since I wanted something I didn't need to touch :)
I gathered as much, rigth now Im trying to wrap my little brain around the button api, and figure out exactly how it works n stuff. ._. I'm terrible at lua, and even more terrible at making any kind of gui thingy. Unfortunately there are so few tutorials on how to do this stuff. ._.

oh yea you can paste things in opencomputers middle click on mouse XD
i was coming down to comment that XD
Or with Insert button
You can get the same effect with just 2 rednet ports and 2 rednet cables, you just dont get the big visual monitor.
Basically if done right it will insert the fuel rods based on its internal power storage, so the more power sitting in the reactor, the less power the reactor makes and the less fuel it burns. You can also set it up with redstone ports and redstone to turn the reactor off once it's above x% capacity, and back on below y%
yes, you can, but the point is to see the things and have a nice visual
Just wanted to add another “thanks!” to the pile! :D
Thanks!!
:)
Tank you so much for making this program! Works so well.
This works so great! Thanks a lot for this Programm.
Awesome guide, and awesome program! Thank you dude :D
You can paste into opencomputers, the default button to paste is middle mouse button
Nice program! Glad to see someone giving a spin to the computer port :)
Got a couple of questions if you don't mind. Does it manage multiple reactors and Tesla? Do you think some methods are missing from the computer port interface?

It will ;)
Awesome... this works beautifully. Nice job!

just added this in my base and it looks awesome, seem to work perfect 2... so thanks, thumbs up !
glad you like it :) I do want to warn you that, electric arrows and flame arrows may have dangerous consequences on the program execution, you should keep those at least 25 ft away from the computer

Hey @Krakaen I have the Opencomputers on the minecraft version 1.7.10 and I have error about the Invalid number and also it will saying something about xpcall function. Do you know how to fix it?
+Krakaen I cannot get the program to activate because no matter what I do, it seems it does not register clicks.
Everything is setup as per the video, although I am trying it on a 1x1 screen due to a lack of obsidian at the moment. What's the minimum screen size? Is it possible that's what is affecting the clicking?
I Increased to a 3x2 screen and am now able to click the min-max controls.. still cannot click the on button.
Interesting. Foolishly I had added a coolant port to my reactor. That cause the on button fail.
the coolant port will make it not produce rf, and the reactor program will be useless
Hmm I've done everything the same way as you and it's displaying the program. The button pressing doesn't seem to work though. I click on the screen to change a value on the auto control and nothing happens. Having said that, I wanted some control rod management and that's exactly what this program seems to be doing so I'm happy enough for it to be as it is
Just what I needed right now :P What sort of coolant are you using on the reactor? Maybe do short video on different coolants that work rigth now ? :)
the coolants are real bad right now, i think the best one is manyullyn, but then again... it isn't really good. in the video, i used a mix of manyullyn and graphite and diamond blocks, which don't do much haha
Even though I set auto-control to max 60%, and min 40%, it still sets control rod level over and under it and temperatures goes up to 1600c. Also the server said it couldn't find reactor so I had to use regular computer
+Justcampus it is not a limitation on the rods, it regulates the power in the reactor to be between those numbers but controlling the rods to make more or less power
Nice piece of code man. Well done!
You probably won't see this comment, but my control rod level is stuck at 100% whenever I use this program, rendering the reactor useless. When I go to change it on the control rod, after I set it it immediately goes back to 100%. What do I do?
What Happens if you can get Energy for example 20000rf per Tick out of the reactor and the Reactor only produce 10000rf per Tick ?
Is there any way to prevent control rod insertion from going below a certain amount? Because going anything below 85% makes my reactor extremely inefficient, and I don't need it. But since I'm filling up a draconic evolution power ball it keeps drawing max power from the reactor, and your program makes the control rods go to 0%
the only way would be to change a couple of things in the code... like... 7-8 places. the program will make the reactor give you what you need and since you are filling the ball, it takes all because there is no restriction. you could use a fluxgate from draconic evolution to control the RF going in the ball, I think that would be simpler
Is there a GitHub? I made some changes to support capacitor banks as batteries. It now renders 4 bars with the fourth being battery capacity and shows total rf being drained. Loved how you organised the code, made a beginner like me able to easily make these changes
I do not have a github for this, glad to know it was easy to modify for your need :)
I really like this programm, but is there a way to shut down a reactor when a battery(induction matrix from mekanism or the capacitor bank from ender io) is full?
Because i am using the extreme reactor to produce steam and not RF.
Sorry, this one doesn't do such a thing :S It is also not made to do something like that, but i am sure there is a way to make a program for that if you look at the OC api
You can press insert and paste into open computers
actually u can copy/paste with opencomputers.
to paste is the insert key, by default, to paste contents of clipboard on screen
(of course it's text only)
yeah, mine was removed, since i always do that when i start a pack haha
How did you make the UI? It looks really nice
same as the program, using lua programming and the computercraft api
THANK YOU BRO its still working in 2020 THANKS YOU SO MUCH BRO
@krakaen great video. I set it up and its displaying the info correctly. Only problem that I have is the button is not working. Im running FTB Revelation 1.1
****Simple restart of the computer case and everything is running smooth***
THANKS FOR THE VID !!!
+Sefin88 my pleasure
@@Krakaen Help I got same problem and restarting dont do anything im on 1.12.2 .....
I was wondering if there was a way to configure the reactor.lua script to have a main terminal (screen and all not a remote terminal) connect via wireless to another terminal attached to the actual reactor within 80m so you could have a command center setup.
I did not do it in the program, if you would like to give it a try, feel free to use the code

+Teufeurdu21 , Airsoft, Unboxing & Test est ce que tu utilises la version 0.4.5.41 de extreme reactor? Il y a un probleme avec le mod qui a été résolu dans les versions plus récente
Krakaen merci de ta reponse . je joue sur le modpack tagnamod en 1.12.1 donc je ne sais pas trop quel version on utilise .
Apparement j ai le 1-12-0.4.5.34

Hi, couldnt get the screen to work for the controls etc, visuals all work fine, just the adjustment side of it isnt working, tried shift+right click and also opened it and tried with left click. still nothing.
Any idea what might be going wrong? im using Extreme Reactors and OpenComputers in the ProjectOzone 1.12.2 modpack.
Add a keyboard
@@Krakaen already had a keyboard on there, still didnt work :/
no worries. fixed itself, dont know why it wasnt working but my power went out and when i rebooted the system it works, dont know why it didnt work on previous restarts
Hi, i just have a problem that started few days ago, every time i log out from server and log back in my screen resolution changes, no matter how many screens is there even if there is just one. Also happening when i use rft dim or any tp device. All is chunkloaded and working fine but screen meeses up. Thanks
there was updates lately to mods, did you recently update your modpack to a more recent version? this seems to be an issue with OpenComputer, not my program. The resolution is handled by the mod itself, You should probably report the issue on their website
Krakaen thanks so much for reply and this perfect program. I never thought its problem with your program :) i was just trying to find solution for problem that happened. Thanks for advice and looking forward to see some DE reactor program from you heh. Keep up great work my friend.
Amazing job, well coded my friend
+-SakiSkai- thanks :)
Is there a code for a actively cooled reactor that you know of???
+WhiteThunder i dont know any, but i am sure you could find some on forums of the modmaker
that was fast, Thanks!
How do you change the level of the control rods?. mine keep going back into the controller when the automation device is on. Also the computer buttons stop working after a while
I am not sure i get the question
hey is there any way to access this program remotely using a tablet with a link card, I wanna have it running on a screen at my base but I also wanna be able to see how much RF my reactor is producing from anywhere in the world
Not that i know of, you would have to make a program for the tablet it self and stuff
I got an error says unsupported resolution and program cannot start. I am using FTB Relation and updated to latest. Any idea for this error?
Items you need to use are in the description. Make sure that the screens and graphic card are correct
Hey guy, could u tell me what blocks u are using for cooling the fuel rods in your reactor? Im playin Direwolf20 and SkyFactory3 for 1.10.2 and allways have trouble with cooling the reactor when i build a bigger one. Only diamond blocks are not enough.
Wich fluids are the best for cooling in this Version? Gelid Cryotherm ist a part from ThermalExpansion i think and its not available... This Reactor is driving me crazy. Ive build one in Direwolf20 witch is 20x20x7 for feeding my Tier7 Draconic Energy Core and with diamond blocks for cooling it uses 17mB of fuel... the first setup with 7x7x7 also needed at least 2mB fuel with diamond Blocks when it run on 100%. I think its pretty much fuel use.
In 1.10, extreme reactor does use more fuel, the best block I think is a mix of graphite and manyullyn
ok thanks u. Now i have trouble to get this program running. Ive configurated and installed the computer like u did it in this video. when i start the pastebin download an error is displayed on screen and the start.lua is empty. trying to find the pastebin.lua but i havnt found it yet. it doesnt matter if i download your program or others, all files were empty when i try to edit them. and ich couldnt find the pastebin.lua file. could u help me?
here is a link to the screenshot i took from the screen while showing the error. link is from my dropbox. www.dropbox.com/s/wbn5zgc9swf6ojt/pastebin_error.png?dl=0
ok, i fixed the download problem, but i dont know how ;P , now there is another problem. i can download the start.lua and i also can run it, then it downloaded the other files from pastebin and then came an error with the reason of my resolution. it tells me that i use an unsupportet resolution. i looked in the reactor.lua and there is written in line 13 resolution 132 38. i cant change my system to that resolution and i dont know why. i had to say that this is my first work on opencomputers. i dont have any experience on programming this machine. the screen is 5x3 with Tier3 screens from opencpmputers. GraphicCard Tier3, CPU Tier3, HardDrive Tier3, the same setup u choose in this video and it doesnt work...
So as I run the program start.lua it gives me the error "boot/04_component.lua:69 no primary 'br_reactor' available" Any clue as to why? Im playing on the latest version of FTB Beyond.
looks like your reactor is not connected
....im dumb, i didnt put it on my computer port....
Thanks :P
it happens haha :P
If you connected it to multiple reactors would it manage all of them?
Hey ähm it seems like the Stuff is working but its not controlling the reactor? yk a fix?
Does this have any way to control turbines as well? Or is this passive reactors only?
it is only for reactors
Are you using a modpack, or just installed some mods? I tried Sky fac 3, but there are WAY too many mods, so any minor change is extremely slow..
I am actually using this on sf3 and it works great at the moment... there is not a lot of updates on there, there is even a check on if the information is different before making an update to the screen, if there is any lag, it doesn't come from the program itself but from something in the mod itself. But then again, i don't see lag on my server where we are 2 to use this program
Krakaen hmm, I'll try to in investigate further. Thanks for now!
I'm getting an unsupported resolution error. What resolution am i supposed to be using. Rn im at 50x16
List of things you need are said in the video and written in the description
Krakaen I figured it out. Was my own mistake to use an old graphics card tier 1 instead of 3. Working perfectly
Hey Krakaen this looks awesome and i thought i followed you step but i'm getting an error on supported resolution but i'm using tier 3 screens on a 3x5 as you did. Any ideas? I can post a screenie if you give me an address if it will help! thanks man!
normally, even the number of screen wouldnt change anything with this, it would only depend on the screen itself, a tier 3 should be able to take 140+ pixel wide and i use 138... I don't know really, you could send me a screenshot on my twitter if you want me to check it
ok thanks man, i've just twitterered you.
are you using a graphic card lvl 3? as it turns out, you need the lvl3 to make it work
Thank you! Amazing work!
Will this work with HBM's MOD ???
it says i have no "br_reactor.lua". plz help
I have the same issue! I am using it for nuclearcraft and just really wanted it to work. Help please
Ah yeah, while I personally prefer OC over CC, I do admire CC, though CC's time is over now that the dev is a game dev in career, by his game/first game you can tell it was the person who made CC giving a cute charm to it.
yeah, I heard he was busy with actual work. But I get it, sometimes you gotta focus on something :)
persistence was the original main difference between OC & CC, of course now there's a lot more than that.
Thank you so much, but how can I kill the program once its running? Also- I'm working on how to display this information through networked computers.
hold "q" to kill the program and as for network, I haven't implemented anything for that, I wouldn't even know where to start
I can't seem to get it working ( I did have it running before), it seems like "pastebin get" is giving me empty files while the pastebin pages are still existing like they should
+TheMaam27 some people in the commenta had the issue too, there was an error in a file of opencomputer. I don't remember the fix, but if you look in the comments, you should be able to find it. Not on a computer... Can't help more, sorry
FIX for the "pastebin get" not downloading anything : ua-cam.com/video/Ut-HksHJa18/v-deo.html
seems like they opencomputers has it fixed already but still thanks for the quick reply
+TheMaam27 my pleasure, that is why i wrote temporary :) i know that they work fast :D
Good program to have, but running into a small issue everytime i log out and in or after a server restart I get the error "Unrecoverable Error no bootable medium found: /init.lua". I go through the whole install process in order to fix it.
hum... that is wierd..., you have a hard drive and all? that might be something you could ask the mod author, because i do not think it would be cause by my program
Hi, i made verything like you, but nothing happends after the reboot, for a second, I can see a red text, but not more, once it worked for me, but today it is broken
I am having the same issue as TheMaam. Could you please explain how to edit the pastebin.lua? Found this in the comments below, but I have no idea how to do it lol
Krakaen2 months ago
the is an issue with openComputer that makes it that you can't get the file from their command.
in the computer find pastebin.lua
(to list programs, you can do ls)
in pastebin.lua, at the line: [local url = "pastebin.com/raw.php?i=" .. pasteId], change it to [local url =

@Krakaen : I'm making some changes to the Computer API of Extreme Reactors. Please check issue #162 on my github
Will check when i get home tonight, does it change major things?
Just checked, will see what i can do to match Both versions new and older. Thank you for the heads up :)
Tried to get this to work in 1.12.2 and getting a file not found from pastebin
So i got it to install and i see the screen with the buttons and information. But i cant actually click on anything neither shift clicking nor right clicking then int he opened display click anything.
shift-right click when outside and left click inside normally should work
Doesnt let me :/
Else seems to work fine just cant click anything. dw20 1.10 pack

try placing the keyboard on the screen and not on the controller
The Keyboard is on the side of the screen like you showed in the video :)
I'm seeing this exact issue as well in FTB Beyond. Did you ever fix it?
Ok, so i'm on SF3 on a server and we are trying to get the code on OpenComputers to work, we then get an error saying (on startup):
boot/04_component.lua:69: no primary 'br_reactor' available:

hum.... it cant detect the reactor it seems... is it connected to a computer port with cables?
It is connected to a port (reactor redstone flux power tap (legacy)) with cables going into the screen and computer.
www.dropbox.com/home?preview=Screenshot_2.png
in what way? to power or you may need to use the computer port instead to a powertap
you need to connect the cable to a computer port not a redstone port....
I have fix the resolution problem. The open computer screen size must be 5x3
Well when I put pastebin get -f sjJi0bum start.lua it says failed opening file for writing: home/start.lua
where did you do the pastebin thing, did you do the autorun in the root folder?
Krakaen I don't know I just tried and and followed u how do I find out
when you did "pastebin get -f sjJi0bum start.lua" was there a #home/ next to the line you typed
Krakaen it has /home #
and you got that error straight after that command?
cant seem to download via pastebin. it says it's successful but the file is always empty when i open it with edit.
Also tried to download the other files manually but these are also empty.
Fixed it myself now.
The pastebin.lua had the line: [local url = "pastebin.com/raw.php?i=" .. pasteId], I changed it to [local url = "pastebin.com/raw/" .. pasteId] and it works fine now.
oh.... what modpack are you playing? the file you changed is from openComputer, it doesn't come from my program, it must be that pastebin changed something in there side for links, saddly, this will probably break a lot of things
I know it was from OC itself, just wanted to let other people know what was wrong.
I'm using Sky Factory 3, default settings from the curse launcher.
Also posted this problem and the solution in the OC forums, so maybe they'll have a look at it.
BTW, really like yout program :D
Thanks! it worked i dont need help anymore
You can copy paste, but instead of CTRL + V you use Insert
Still Works Great Thanks 9/19/21
my computer says that the "home" directory doesnt exist... why?
Thanks for the program!
my pleasure :D
The keyboard actually doesn't need to be on the screen. You can place a block in the front of the screen and put keyboard there.
It just has to connect to the screen.

your video is very informative. One suggestion though: move your camera less and dont shake the mouse.
did everything right but when i got to the point where you do edit start.lua and i edit it theres nothing in it please help asap
the is an issue with openComputer that makes it that you can't get the file from their command.

how do i find pastebin.lua
I just followed the guide and did everything exactly as you did it.
I get an error on OC

I am an LUA nobody. I haven't a clue. I just copy you programmers word for word and pray. Any help would be welcome.
Solved I think. It only works in 1.12.2. I guess RedNet is for 1.10.2.
I cant control the buttons for some reason
I had the same problem but just rebooting the computer worked for some awkward reason
The script isn't working in FTB Revelation 2.0. It installs and runs, but does not adjust the rods.
I'll try to see what is happening
could you send me a picture of your setup on my twitter? also, do you have it all in one chunk, over multiple chunks? I just tested for me and it worked with a game close, a chunk unloaded. With more informations, I might be able to figure out why it is not working for you
I don't have a Twitter and have no interest in creating one. What about Discord?

if i wanna connect a battery for ender io and add this batery at internal reactor batery. How can i do¿?
How do I get the Floppy OS? I only have a floppy, and can't find a recipe for the OS one.
Might be a dumb question, but I have no experience with this mod.
edit: I found the answer, the recipe for it wasn't in this modpack though. (All The Mods for 1.10)
Finally got it up and running, great video, thanks!
thanks :) glad you found it
GladGulGubbe94 how did you find it
MasterQuentus i believe you can make it with the wiki recipe, even if it doesnt show in the modpack.
cant remember
GladGulGubbe94 I figured it it tells u in the book but thanks
For me its forcing the control rods to 100% and stops the reactor from generating power and changing the percentage on the program doesn't fix it the only way to fix it is to turn the computer off :/
What is your version of extreme reactor and openComputer?
you can copy and paste but it the insert button instead
Thank you, helped a lot
ty for help , works 100% !
my pleasure
