The moderator slows down neutrons so they react with more atoms of uranium. The coolant is what converts heat into steam which is then converted to power via a turbine generator. By itself a reactor produces no useable energy but heat. It is essentially a different hot rock than say a coal boiler.
Love your videos man, always makes me want to play minecraft and its kind of like studying but entertaining! I have to teach all the mods to my friends because they're always confused but all I do is just watch your youtube videos for fun lol
Just a recommentation to save performance: Use crafters to automaticly craft any essence that can only be turned into one thing to permantly produce it and dont bother the system with constant crafting requests. AE has improved, but crafting cards can still create issues. So dont use them, when it is not need. Also, in other applications, you save the crafting step, if you craft stuff permantently
I don't know about Crafting Cards performance, but having dozens of crafting process perpetually active sounds way more intense than a few crafting process active on request with the cards
@@paulelderson934 RN i have no idea but i can tell you it uses more that 128 stacks of uranium every 10ticks and i have to constantly have the fuel rods inserted to ensure my 5x ore processing and super fast uranium seed farm can keep up 🤣
Tip: for those that like me couldn't select their Pattern Providers/Molecular Assemblers, and couldn't figure out how to deselect a block. Press G to bring up the menu, then select the Pencil(Settings Menu), and press Clear. This Clears the selection,. You may have to put solid blocks on the corners to select them.
Chosen you can use frozen pearls to counter the invisible lights from the feral flare lanterns without removing them, you just have to right click on the place that you want to be clear from them and it won't place there again
I think the cross cut some space for the moderator to Interact eith the fuel rod, while the other uses less resources since they have the same moderators in most places
For things where a precursor resource just produces a secondary resource and does nothing else (essences, raw ores, etc.) don't use AE2 autocrafts. It'll swamp your system and cause lag and is not hard to automate in better ways. For essences in particular you should check out RFTools Crafters which are much faster than AE2 can ever hope to be and do not cause nearly as much lag as a bunch of autocraft requests. You just tell it "craft this recipe when you have the ingredients" and then pipe the essences into the crafter. Then you can pipe the actual resources wherever you want to store them. (Also would recommend using AE2 storage cells instead of drawers, they seem expensive but they're really not, very easy to automate, and much more flexible. Definitely use the cell workbench to partition them)
Procurement, Processing, Autocrafting. I highly agree on not conflating the latter two. About using cells over drawers I have mixed feelings. Yes, it would probably cut down on lag and reduce the number of storage blocks, but from what I can tell it is not nearly as brain-dead-easy with these to dedicate a certain amount of space to one resource and have it void the overflow, leading to a risk of flooding your storage with too much of one resource. I know you can partition your cells and apply an upgrade card to void excess, but that seems significantly more involved than placing a new item into a drawer wall that is already prepared with stack and overflow upgrades. An alternative approach to storage drawers I've recently come to enjoy is using highly upgraded sophisticated storage barrels. They offer more item types than a single cell, can accept new item types without further configuration and can also be linked together with a controller.
Another option instead of using plain red stone is the red wire. It can be placed on the side of the reactor works just like redstone dust with out having to build full blocks on the side of the reactor. Though, you do apparently have to have a jumbo furnace to make the red alloy or get in to ender IO and make redstone alloy.
One nitro thermo generator on a blaze block creates ~10,000 FE/tick (much less without the blaze block). I have my Refined Storage computer making them on-demand. I made 100x of them and surrounded my whole base with them in a giant circle. That’s 100,000 FE/tick just from those. I feel like this reactor you made today would be fun to build once I get uraninite automated.
Chosen: "That would trivialize power production. Let's go with Bigger Reactors." Bigger Reactors is probably the most trivial way to make power. No explosion risk, no leaking radiation, not even really any fuel processing. Just dump in fuel, if not enough power make reactor bigger. The biggest complexity is writing the Lua script to manage the rod insertion so you don't burn fuel unnecessarily. I would have prefered a Mekanism fission reactor.
@@ChosenArchitect Great to hear that you will make one. I just found the statement weird, it made it sound like Bigger Reactors was to be your final power option, because it wasn't "trivial". I haven't been subscribed for long, so I haven't yet watched one entire mod pack series. So sorry for my assumption.
Powah is way more effort. Getting to nitro is a hassle, you need to automate and export a lot of resources, use a lot of AE2 channels for it, etc. Bigger reactors is basically an upgrade in every way except for space efficiency.
The reactor casings have the same texture as the netherite block, also have you ever thought of doing a series where you start vanilla, but overtime you pick mods from the comments to download on it, this will make it so you have to go to new chunks depending on the mods
I'm half way to making an ATM star in this pack already and I'm desperately fighting my "start over!! do another pack already!!!" itch so I can actually FINISH ONE FOR ONCE lmao... Its the same feeling I get as an alt-o-holic in WoW or city of heroes
Yeah same, would have saved a lot of time. At least this showed off the building wand being able to fill checkerboard patterns easily. Handy for building a single very wide reactor (which are more resource efficient than taller ones)
im trying to use the xycraft extractor to make lava im following the recipe i was wondering if you could try it out IDK if its a config thing but its not working
@@ChosenArchitect does all the mods 9 to the sky include different mods than normal all the mods? if so then sorry. the advanced reactors are still amazing

If you replace the blaze block with a dark matter block, it jumps to 49k
If you placed down 100 of them, ain't that 1,000,000 FE/Tick then?
@@wasnormales yep. He dropped a zero. Just an FYI, red matter boosts it to 63k each.

I wonder why he didn't use copy/past to build all the reactors, he use the cut/past tool for the storage system
Yeah same, would have saved a lot of time.
At least this showed off the building wand being able to fill checkerboard patterns easily.
Handy for building a single very wide reactor (which are more resource efficient than taller ones)
The universal pipe wasn’t pulling enough power because it needs an upgrade maybe?
when i try to make a 15x15x15 it keeps saying all fuel elements must reach the top and bottom but it says the bottom is at y=0 im at 7= 78
im trying to use the xycraft extractor to make lava im following the recipe i was wondering if you could try it out IDK if its a config thing but its not working
I was about to be so happy when I head computercraft..
I think I end up building a reactor in every pack it’s available.
how did you get the graphite seed its on a recipe in jei for mystical ?
Could be a pack version issue for you.
If you want to know more about Bigger Reactors and how they work you can find out here: biggerseries.net/en/biggerreactors/reactor/simulation
how long untill those reactors blow the base sky high because they over heat?

Pls use extend pattern provider pls it's my favourite block
