The transition sounds are really loud and kind of hurt the ears if I turn the volume up high enough to hear your voice... other than that, great video!
I second that. Everything I've found so far has either been the absolute biggest, or the absolute smallest. What I really love though, is an explanation of the numbers.
@@dsddoesminecraft Ive searched around and I would like to build the biggest reactor possible and blow it up.. but I would like to see how it looks like.. I mean, the blast radius before I do it myself. Is there a limit radius how far from point zero the radiation will go?
Finally someone who actually explains it and doesn't just go through crafting recipes for 30 minutes only to build a barely functional setup while not explaining any mechanics
thank you for the video on this just when i needed it, keep up the great work. i appreciate the organization of the time stamps that make it easy to come back. my only crititizm is the some of the sound effects either too loud or too high pitched, it is a good idea tho to add such affects. just make the quieter or less high pitched.
I've been looking for a while for a video (because reading forums/explanations hurts my soul) actually explaining how these reactors work (not just how to build them/what stuff does) but the actual math behind it! I originally thought that the Electromagnetic coils had to be like, a whole layer (like the pressure dispersers), not based off number of blades or anything. I also really struggled with creating closed loops of water because the reactor and turbine didn't compliment each other (certainly not how yours does!) Thanks for answering all my questions about this! I look forward to your future tutorials/guides! Also my "guesstimate" for the large turbine problem was not enough water flow.
Thank you Ive always been afraid of building these things and your level of detail is exactly what I needed. Now to find the other videos that go with it.
Thanks for the deeper insight. I'm looking forward to the sodium cooled reactors. I barely used these to be honest because I always fail to set these up correctly and therrefore have a tendency to immediately skip to the fusion reactor that Mekanism offers.
I hear you.. the effort to build and handle the waste etc, can seem a little OTT.. but if you need Mek Antimatter - you need these - I'd definitely give it a go.. As for Sodium Cooling - it's on my to-do list :) just got to find the time!
i Think you should add one more part to the video. The output of energy needs to be controlled from the turbine. If it backs up to the max storage it will fill up the steam since it does not get rid of the excess energy. Eventually this will make the reactor explode :) Overall really informative video and really enjoyed it just made it but had the energy issue which made my reactor blow up xP
About to put one of these under a mega tower I made, where I'll set up base with rooms for friends to chill in too. If I screw this up, let there be no witnesses. XD
Just be wary of the turbine filling with power, set up a trash can on a low priority!!! Or keep an eye closely… if your battery fills then the turbine fills and kaboom!
Your text sound, that pops in the video, are a little too loud for my opinion. Just a little feedback on my side, but a really great tutorial thanks for that !
Great video as always! A question: if I have a sink that provides infinite water to the reactor, can I just vent the steam instead of condensing it to send it back to the reactor?
Great!! Thank you this is what I was looking for, but I'm curious what kind of machine setup (which produces fissile fuel or sodium) is required for an efficient reactor.
I’m 99% sure this video is wrong. Like VERY wrong. I’ve done everything I can to build the Turbine but it’s not working. I spent all day trying to trouble shoot rewatching this video 4 times and reading the entire FTB and Mekanism Wikis, and nothing. It wont work.
same lol i'm playing atm9 and i have a huge reactor and it works fine, but when i try to build the turbine, it just doesn't work. I've tried multiple setups and none of them worked even tho i'm building it the SAME EXACT WAY
Would it hurt to keep your water pump attached to keep the water at 100%? This is a fantastic video thank you, I've been so nervous to build this and ruin my world, for some reason Extreme Reactors's Turbine glitches my world out so I need something! Cheers.
I’ve made 3 separate setups in my world now and they all keep blowing up it seemed to be running fine left for a sec to hook up power came back and it was gone
Unloading a reactor that’s running sometimes does that, try building it all in one chunk, turning it off when you leave or use some form of chunk loading mod
I don't get the pipes bit, why are we prioritising capacity over throughput? Surely you need to match the flow rate with your pipe amount else you can't move fluid/gas fast enough
I think it's this, it's hard to determine from reading the Wiki's, all I know is have enough pipes to handle the"volume" of flow. If that makes sense. Don't forget to have an Energy Bin somewhere as your Turbine can back fill with energy that then causes a catastrophy! (Speaking from experience!)
@@dsddoesminecraft i found out that i didnt place saturating condenser.. I was struggling with it for 2 hours and it turned out that a few condensers were enough...
How many "Fuel rods" are going in it? What is the Max Burn rate? And then to run it at max - you'll need to be able to handle 20,000mb per tick into your Turbine. So you'll need your Max Flow rate to balance with that value. Build the reactor, and then let me know what your MAx Burn rate is.. and we can then look at the size of Turbine.
Why does it seem like there is a horrible trend to add stupid sound effects to scene transitions for mekanism tutorials? They add nothing but irritation to the content.
@@dsddoesminecraft Much respect for the humble and polite reply despite my cantankerous comment. I had just closed another tutorial on the topic to avoid the sound effects in their video, and my irritation carried over. I apologize for my rudeness.

Noted! Thanks for the feedback.
It's unusual to see someone build a reasonable size reactor rather than going for the biggest possible. Exactly what I was looking for!
Glad it helped! I try and explain the mechanics, so people can understand and then build what they need :)

What is this? A tutorial where I'm not told how to place block but am told how the mechanics work? 10/10 Great work!
Thanks :) unusual aren’t I! Lol
Thanks for the deeper insight.

i had built one from a different tutorial and it blew up and i had to abandon my base so i'm glad for this because it hasn't blown up yet
Fab, just watch out for your turbine back fill with power! That is a risk still! Trash bin for power on a low priority if you can
i Think you should add one more part to the video. The output of energy needs to be controlled from the turbine. If it backs up to the max storage it will fill up the steam since it does not get rid of the excess energy.

Good point!! I’ll add it to my fissile fuel video.. :)
lol good vid tbf liked + subbed thank you for the effort !
Thanks.. planning more tutorials on top of the mod pack playthrough sand IRL job! The joys of content creation! Love it :)

I like your way of demonstration. I wish you where my physics Dr.
Just remember - it's all "relative" .... pun intended! lol
Your text sound, that pops in the video, are a little too loud for my opinion. Just a little feedback on my side, but a really great tutorial thanks for that !
Yup, hopefully I’ve balanced it better in later videos :) always happy for feedback, always trying to improve !
This was very helpful thank you love the editing style too
Glad you enjoyed! Loads more on my channel.. and plenty more to come :)
Great video as always!
A question: if I have a sink that provides infinite water to the reactor, can I just vent the steam instead of condensing it to send it back to the reactor?
Yup, exactly.. you can “dump excess”, and wouldn’t need any saturating condensers!
great video man super informative thanks so much
No problem! Check out the fissile fuel video too for more tips :)
@DSD Does Minecraft somehow that was the part I rememberd💀
Great!! Thank you this is what I was looking for, but I'm curious what kind of machine setup (which produces fissile fuel or sodium) is required for an efficient reactor.
Gee•you•eye❌
gooey✅
How can i trash can my energy? I dont want my reactor to explode
I’m 99% sure this video is wrong. Like VERY wrong. I’ve done everything I can to build the Turbine but it’s not working. I spent all day trying to trouble shoot rewatching this video 4 times and reading the entire FTB and Mekanism Wikis, and nothing. It wont work.

even with the calculations done i can't get my fission reactor to remain cool idk why
the one thing u didnt show is what happenes when the turbinr gets full on energy and how to put the energy elsewhere
awesome
When I try to input the fissile to the input of the fission reactor port my reactor just doesn’t fill with fuel why is this? Do you have any ideas?
Im not getting the water out of the turbine. Any ideas what that could mean?
5-10 min after the reactor is on the water pretty much disappears from the reactor and over heats, anyone know why this is happening
Extremely helpful tutorial but I still have a question. How can I see what amount on fuel the reactor needs per tick?
The Burn Rate is the fuel per tick.. so 100 on the burn rate tells you it's 100 mb per tick.
Oh well that sounds right. Thank you
how can something be a pair number and have a middle block at the same time???
It’s wrong, the maximum turbine size is 17x17 and 18 blocks tall
turbines base have to be odd number base should be 17x17 and height of 18
Very true.. otherwise how could you put the turbine blades in the centre.
I’ve made 3 separate setups in my world now and they all keep blowing up it seemed to be running fine left for a sec to hook up power came back and it was gone

I don't get the pipes bit, why are we prioritising capacity over throughput? Surely you need to match the flow rate with your pipe amount else you can't move fluid/gas fast enough
Actually, is pump rate just the rate at which pipes can extract? So capacity is actually throughput given something can push into the pipe fast enough
I think it's this, it's hard to determine from reading the Wiki's, all I know is have enough pipes to handle the"volume" of flow. If that makes sense. Don't forget to have an Energy Bin somewhere as your Turbine can back fill with energy that then causes a catastrophy! (Speaking from experience!)
the random scratching of the sound when you are trying to emphasize something is quite unnerving to my ears.
Oh nice
Had I known they needed spacing between the vents and the dispensers/saturators.... I loathe myself...
Great content, but the noises to emphasize the major points are horrific
Yea, I got my levels wrong on the edit.. sorry about that! Hopefully they are better in my Fissile Fuel tutorial !
i connected pipes to vents but they're not filling with water. Why
Assuming you’re using Mekanism pipes?? And definitely the “Mechanical” pipe!??
@@dsddoesminecraft i found out that i didnt place saturating condenser.. I was struggling with it for 2 hours and it turned out that a few condensers were enough...
that crumbling effect hurts my ears
why would u add it
goated
High honours! Thanks.. (assuming you mean greatest of all time and not that I’m an actual goat?! 😂)
How big of turbine is ideal for 9x9x9 Fissile Reactor?
How many "Fuel rods" are going in it? What is the Max Burn rate? And then to run it at max - you'll need to be able to handle 20,000mb per tick into your Turbine. So you'll need your Max Flow rate to balance with that value. Build the reactor, and then let me know what your MAx Burn rate is.. and we can then look at the size of Turbine.
yes, figured it out after I checked almost whole video :P @@dsddoesminecraft

Thanks for wasting my time building this
incredibly confusing
Anything specific you need a hand with?
