- FACTORIO SPACE AGE - 2.4GW NUCLEAR REACTOR WITHOUT HEAT PIPES
I created a Factorio nuclear power plant with 16 reactors producing 2.4 GW nuclear energy.
This design doesn't use any heat pipes to save UPS and go BIG.
Compatible with Factorio Space Age!

The blueprint has been updated for Factorio 2.0.
No major changes but with the new fluid mechanics the entire thing can now be supplied with a single pipe per row.
some day i will afford this design
says the person with all the fields of expensive things in various videos... ;)
mm seems very resource efficient and very easy to build all the components, not at all expensive! That being said this design is genuinely very interesting and I can indeed see the benefits!
A lot of red circuits needed to build this monster. ;)
If you have base that needs it, you have one to build it.
not gonna lie germans being good at designing nuclear power plants is quite ironic considering todays power situation xD
LOL!
Just built in a Space Age save. I'm getting around 2.9 GW. Waterflow is no longer an issue. Absolutely amazing work mate. Cheers!
If you offset the heatpipe reactors you can access the first and last reactors too making it infinitely tileabel. I made 75GW of Power that way, and my ups were still way over 60.
I first saw this design in a Video from Zisteau, the ratio was different because he was playing Space Exploration, but it was still very beautiful to see.
this is ridiculous, i love it
I used this way of transferring heat on Aquilo. but not to make power. I'm using 8 reactors as a "space heater" (thanks to Dosh) and sending all that heat using row of reactors following a main bus on the planet. this way heating building is as simple as grabbing the heat from central line and it's always going to be high enough to make buildings work. just amazing
This is what I've been doing wrong the entire time I've been playing. I haven't been following a German.
Great video! I remember seeing something similar in Zeistau’s SE 0.5 play through! I’d love to compare both designs
My god this is such a cool idea keep up the good work
Ah yes, the Zisteau Reactor.
I've never had a base big enough to worry about UPS, am I such a noob? 😔
I usually loose interested after becoming invincible and launching a few rockets from my starter base.
Good info though, didn't know that.
No. Everyone has a different playstyle, goal and passion. Theres nothing wrong in liking the early/mid game and starting over again.
I always tried to see how many rockets can I shoot off per minute, and can I consume all that science. I have UPS problems hahaha
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing this. Do you perhaps have a list of all your blueprints combined somewhere?
No. I never really store blueprints permanently and start every game with an empty blueprint storage. But i save my bases. So if i wanted to build something again i would have to pull it from an old base.
Don't you think that what you've saved there (in UPS) by decreasing the amount of "heat pipes", you've lost by increasing the amount of boilers and extra pipes, resulting in a more complex fluid network? This needs a proper scientific test to say if it's actually better or worse. I don't quite like the slightly ineffecient 1 boiler to 2 turbines ratio, resulting in much more turbines needed than optimal. Those consume UPS too.
That's a very good point. This design has 0 pipes transporting steam which is also beneficial but the fluid manager as you point out also affects FPS.
You could introduce steam pipes and reduce the amount of turbines, no problem, and if UPS is your main concern than there prossibly is more room for optimization yes.
I tested this blueprint against my 'regular' nuclear power plant design (2*1.12 MW) and it performed better when it comes to UPS.
But: UPS wasn't the main reason i build this and that's why i only mention it towards the end. What i like about it is that it opens up new ways to design a reactor and also how clean it looks like.
I doubt it's better for ups because reactors are ticking entities. But the idea is interesting.
"ticking entities"? I mean, they check for things, but don't they disable themselves if they have no inputs? And heat pipes have calculations, too... I do _not_ know the details here, but on "I doubt", I'm guessing you don't, either, really? Would be interesting to do some scientific analysis (and/or ask folks with source code access).
When showing us the UPS improvement you showed the UPS of a test world without heat pipes, then of your reactor design again without heat pipes, is that an editing mistake or am I not getting something?
also stacking several of these designs will just be inefficient as you're losing out on neighbour bonus of each end reactor every time you stack it. Then again most megabases which require more than like 2-3 of these blueprints should just use solar power anyway as UPS for a reactor regardless of how efficient you make it is terrible in comparison to solar.
Hi. I see why this confused you, my bad. I just showed the stats of this blueprint and the test reactor. It would have been too confusing for a 2 minute video to introduce another reactor for comparison.
UPS isn't the main reason i made this design. It's just an additional small advantage and with some changes you can design a blueprint that would address your concerns for megabases.
@@AVADIIStrategy hey, that’s fair enough it’s just by what you said and what you showed contradicting a little bit it misled me xD
I also want to say that despite my criticism it’s still a very cool blueprint and something I’ve never thought about before, I will definitely experiment with it and see what I come up with :)
👍🏻
im playing py light the power bal is dif so im get 429gw pro
well this idea is nothing new. i do wish upcoming fluid update does away with this heat managing nonsense.
btw its pronounced Giga Watts not Jiga Watts
True, but Doc Brown said it that way, so we'll let it slide this time.
its a accent thing
Nah, i did it on purpose in the power production video (where i have a very small Doc Brown clip with this quote).
Since then it depends on my mood.
If it was an accent thing i would pronounce it correctly because it's Giiigaaa in german.
