- So here is a tutorial that was recently requested for how to set up the fusion reactor from mekanism as well as the fuel to power it and the lasers to start it up. The request also included showing how you could set it up within a single chunk, so lets do that!

This is exactly why Mekanism is my favorite tech mod
Agreed there, has some of my favorite multiblocks and large scale stuff, plus ore x5 is great and so much goes into that, always love setting those systems up
best TechMod is GregTech ;) more Multiblocks, more POWER ^^
@@Techbox1985 i agree

Wow, I didn’t know mekanism could be so complex. Excellent tutorial!
Great video, helped me set my reators based off this setup. I'm just going to weigh in a little with some notes of my own. First of all, mekanism reactor is now it's own separate mod now called mekanism generators. Secondly, if you use the resistive (electric) heaters, you can specify how much power they use, more power yields more heat, allowing for super fast heatup if you have the spare energy for it. Based on my experimentation, you can max your output of an 18 block tower with 4 advanced solar generators is 150 rf/t out of your resistive heater. Good if you're trying to max out your power production while minimizing your usage.
I've actoually come back to this tutorial many times over the years for mekanism, vastly helpful thanks
Starting the Mekanism fusion reactor is similar to how the NIF at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory starts the fusion reaction. [shoot high-energy lasers at the hohlraum containing fusion fuel and you've started the reaction.]
Bit of a old video now but still wanted to say thanks man! Any time i need to build one of these reactors this is my go to video!
Thank you very much! Glad that you found it helpful for sure :)
I dont know if you noticed, but you can upgrade the SN Activators now. You can effectively make 1 SN Activator equal to 256 of them :P
I was just about to comment on that even though I’m 10 months late
Yea he over did the machines, I can keep a reactor running with 1 of everything
crushingbass really? I only need 1 of all the things he made?
thanks, i will have 256^2 sn activators
I thought setting this up would be a headache, but with this tutorial, it's easy (a bit complex), to set up and get running!
(The reactor sounds cool.)
How can i make the reactor watercooled?
xD literally thought the whole thing was massive until he placed a block w/o subdivisions
Haha yeah same bro I was so confused!
Really cool! That's the first time I saw this reactor in action... And now, I really want to create 4 of these in my suvival world!
what about four DRACONIC reactors running without blowing up
Hats off to you man. Followed this step by step. Impeccable instruction; thank you.
Nice tutorial! This is the best tutorial that I have seen. Good work!!
which version did you do this ?
how do you connect stuff to the reactor. it kinda just sits there and produces unusable power
Things must have changed a lot in 6 years. I'm powering a fusion reactor at 4 injection with just 1 machine for each tritium and deuterium using two 7 high evaporation plants. I even afk through the night and it barely budges with 1 elite tank for each fuel. Who knows if you even need more than that, as it runs my sps and all my machines just fine. Maybe the modpack I'm playing just tuned it all down.
You don't need the solar panels for the towers, you can run thermodynamic cables from a resistive heater into a solar evaporation port where the solar panel base block is placed
But say you do use them, will it work? and if so just as well?
Wow takes a lot of power to even make more power
My lasers dont seem to physically appear, but they still burn and destroy blocks. Is there anyway to fix this graphical glitch
where do u download the crash landing forever pack?
You can find it on the curse launcher. The name has changed to stranded forever due to some issue with the original crash landing dev
To Asgaard ty！
np at all :)
hey um i know its old video but i have a problem : i dont see the lasers but they are there
In my experimental setup, I was able to produce >20RF/t with just some ultimate gas tanks and an injection rate of 40. I'm wondering if maybe the amount of energy your lasers give it initially makes a difference?
Yeah, it does as it affects the starting heat which gives an initial burst of energy, but that will quickly drop down to whatever it can sustain on what your feeding it. If you mean for sustained power after the first couple mins or so, initial energy shouldnt have anything to do with that as it really just comes down to your injection rate really
To Asgaard thanks for the reply, I'll take that into account. btw, you've just earned yourself a subscriber.
Np at all, hope that it helps and thank you very much :)
I don't have enderio so I use mekanism's mechanical pipe to put the brine in the other tower but no brine is going over
Use Mekanism Basic / Advanced or Ultimate pipes :) works just as well.

Are you setting the pipes to extract? They should move it np at all.
I dont have enough power for the lasers
Just started with this mod for the first time today. I thought I was kicking tail with my solar panels and lava lol. High Hopes!
Hehe, well if you are living at some decent elevation, try out the windmills :) Way op and 24 hr power generation
I have 10 windmills and 2 advanced solar right now. about 850/t. I knew there was some plus to starting in Extreme Hills
Oh yeah, windmills are monster early power gen, and can get them pretty easily in the first few hours if you gun for them. Then pretty well set for a while :)
I watched the video but i don't really know english, so here is my question. What is going to happen when either deutirium or tritium won't come to reactor at night? You propably explained it so sorry.
No worries :) Well ideally you want a buffer tank to store a lot of it during the day if you dont have a setup that can run all the time, such as a void world from rf tools with always daytime. But if you dont have either of those and your reactor runs out of fuel, it will just shut down and you will have to restart it with lasers and another haulraum whenever you want to turn it back on.
I was afraid it was going to explode or something. I think I will just
sleep a lot, maybe machinerie's storage will be enough. Thank you very
much for quick answer :)
Np at all, anytime :) And nope, the mek reactor is like the big reactor in that it will never explode on you, will just power down :)
Is this a different version of mekanism or something? with 3 solar plants and 15 SNs in an all day dim from rftools, I can produce 51million Rf/t and it is just about sustainable.
I am able to sustain a 98 fuel consumption reactor (maxed out) with only 1 SN Activator thanks to the update because it adds the ability to upgrade the speed of the SN Activators. So with 8 speed upgrades, you can effectively make 1 SN Activator equal to 256 of them.
The solar generators are no longer a requirement. Thats when the towers were called "Solar Evaporation Plants"
so how do you power them if so, by another energy source for example wind turbines connected to it with universal cabling?
Use resistant heaters in stead of solar gens. They are connected to valves using thermodynamic conductors
still useful
yo is it just me or does half the stuff in this not match with the current 1.12.2 verion
Im having issues with the deutritium
maan we all THANK YOU!
Can i do only 2 towers?
Yes and in fact, those two towers can share a wall allowing you to make an even more compact setup. My *entire* tritium production block fits into a 5 wide x 8 long x 3 high block space!
i accidentally ran a reactor on only d-t fuel, by the time i figured out where the fuel was coming from (after cutting fuel lines) it nearly exploded
Mekanism fusion reactor CANNOT explode.
@@vmxkarelyn_0842 i guess i connected it to my draconic reactor warning system
In my Version of mecanism I cant put speed upgrades in the solar neutron activator and the solar evaporation plant. So Im not sure if this setup will produce enough fuel without upgrades. What do you think? Is this setup enough or should I build more solar neutron activators?
Follow Factorio logic. When in doubt, double it.
This thing is expensive in survival
lol I had like 3000 iron and I spent them all. thanks to my iron block dimension.
the dimension consume 30kRF/t btw
WIll this blow up in some way?
No.
Somebody is going to do a really big prank on you I'll tell you the Channel Once I figure it out
D-T Fuel=plasma
Huh no ?
You dont need to convert the tritium and deuterium into D-T Fuel beforehand in the chemical infuser. That wastes power. What you should do is pump the deuterium and tritium into the reactor directly. It will combine them automatically.
its not converting beforehand. A chemical infuser is making some beforehand, but thats just for use in the hohlraum, not for use in the reactor
Oh
p
Well draconic Evolution reactor is better in You stop playing just Screw around the reactor and say to your neighbor hey is stop playing and i give you 1 advise RUN FOREST
