I had a NUCLEAR MELTDOWN in Minecraft Create Mod

[@scudsturm1]

ahhhh, so this how nuclear power plants blow up, foxy is managing them

[@foxynotail]

👀😅

[@LunaticLacewing]

right foxy has been around since man first split the atom

[@LiamBond-iw4do]

Dude you just built it and you already had a meltdown. Note to self don’t let foxy build a nuclear reactor ever again lol

[@Empirics_]

Somebody should warn Mr.Beardstone.

[@Max2012-z6o]

Haha

[@Max2012-z6o]

😂

[@XiaoYueMao]

yes, heatpumps arent a suggestion, they exist for a reason, pipes move heat passively but its too slow to actually keep things cool, they MUST be pumped towords the radiators

[@cyri96]

Modyfying the cooling solution with fully running reactors, truly a stroke of genius

[@DMitr0]

"foxynotail was here". "how you know". "villagers stacked on animals".

[@creeperbait_42]

I thought you knew by the NUCLEAR FALLOUT AND MOLTEN METAL EVERYWHERE

[@DanielShaw-c2y]

Mr Foxynotail. If your nuclear power plant is going into meltdown, you do not add the rest of your nuclear fuel stock. Your first priority is to evacuate. Now since this is minecraft, you can respawn. You should have kept some nuclear fuel for your second attempt as well.

[@SiriusG]

create new age reactors are extremely easy to mess up. if the heat pipe is too long, or connected to too many reactors at the same time it will just feed the heat back into the reactors. each reactor needs its own independant heat pipe after a certian size. else it will, 100% of the time, melt down. from experience with the mod. for refrence ive tried hundreds of times and the longest one survived was 20 minutes beofre it melted down. every one ultimately still melted down after a bit. and what i mean by too long is ive had heat pipes turn into lava despite them being actively attatched to the boiler things. each heat pipe is only rated for a max of 512 heat tratsfer per tick. the reactor heat vent is rated to generate up to 10k heat per tick per reactor rod. you need a lot more heat uses for it than you put in. like a lot more. each rod is rated itself to gen up to 10k heat meaning a 5 layer reactor isnt generating 10k, its actually generating up to 50k. for 4 steam engines you only need a total of 4 reactor rods max. or 4 1 layer reactors.

[@swagnilla_ice]

We need to boost this so that @FoxyNoTail sees it!

[@superblast1]

I've made multiple and only 1 if them melted down and it's because I tried changing parts of it while it was active

[@nikolaysitnikov796]

Each Reactor Rod generates 600 heat per second, and each Boiler Heater consumes a maximum of 500 heat per second. The rods also reduce their heat generation when they go above some overheat temperature. It takes a lot to melt the rods themselves. The best tip I have is to avoid using stretches of heat pipes and making sure everything is in one chunk.

[@XiaoYueMao]

its why you use heat pumps. they move heat faster than the pipes can do it passively

[@overtheatlas]

I've never had issues with meltdowns honestly, my nuclear plant has been running for nearly 200 days. I have 4 separate reactors and they run fine just on one max steam engine. You just need to spam pumps and that takes care of it

[@Tyrus-jq8qk]

The long heat pipe absolutely murdered your heat transfer rates, and tying all of your reactors into one heat line was extremely risky. Its not impossible to make it how you wanted, but splitting the heat from each reactor into an isolated heat pipe is probably your best bet

[@PeyaTheBes.t]

Or just spam heat pumps

[@mawoh3027]

Foxy: "we are only going to build this once" The reactor: "and I took that personally!"

[@captainvlad]

I saw him mine out the pipes to supply the fuel and had a chuckle. "He's gonna forget that"

[@ThorBjorn-s4f]

YES

[@LeonHarperpowtoon]

Me too

[@ashheilborn]

I believe full leather armour counts as a hazmat suit for this mod. Haven't tried nuclear power myself, but the tutorial video I watched showed using leather armor to prevent the effects of nuclear sickness.

[@haijehiemstra2883]

And this is why you allways build the design in creative in either a test world or copy of your world first.

[@M331-w2d]

42:39 "let's just throw all the fuel in and see what happens"

[@Yalsof]

Missed an opportunity for a "What could possibly go wrong?" merch plug

[@thekolas]

By the way, leather armour act as a hazmat suit

[@Mika-sb5gx]

So technically cows are radiation-proof

[@electrobuster5483]

this is why we test world extensively when dealing with mechanics that can GREATLY affect the world at large.

[@stephenwilson4422]

Me realizing that him breaking the center-most heat pipe disconnected three reactors from the rest of the ventilation system, causing the meltdown. "Oh sweet mother of reactor 4, Foxy no." The main thing to take from this is that before you turn on anything, triple check ALL of your connections before you switch the machine on. Great demonstration of what not to do with a nuclear reactor. And let's be fair. How many of us expected and wanted a meltdown to happen. That's what we all came to watch.

[@XiaoYueMao]

he reconnected them anyway by coincidence when he added more heatpipe

[@lovethepolygon]

"what could possibly go wrong?" ok look cherynobyl.

[@j.a.8224]

"I should have planned this out better!" sums up exactly what I expected, and exactly what I got. Anything nuclear should be built in test world, saved as a schematic, and imported ONLY once fully tested. Glad you certainly didn't do it live, and were smart enough to test it first, yep....

[@TheAyamcd]

Honestly, nuclear power seems intimidating. Thank you for showing us your mistakes so we can learn from them in our own worlds!

[@Pyrotrainthing]

The problem is that your steam engines are just too far, it doesn't matter how many heat pipes you have if you just cause a meltdown anyway. Edit: the Corium is digging its way to bedrock btw. You'll probably find a giant hole underneath your reactors if you already hadn't while recording.

[@jeyguard]

Note to self: never let foxy do the power (looks at ftb skies)

[@CazthesillyWizard]

I am also building a nuclear power plant! Not in minecraft, but in Satisfactory. Im also struggling to get ot working lol.

[@julianlxix580]

i love using the magnetic power only because it looks dope

[@indnwkybrd]

Meltdown notwithstanding... 😆 I really appreciate that the cooling towers aren't solid concrete all the way down but are elevated up a few blocks on girders to allow air to flow. Just like real life!

[@snippedtiex]

Omg I love how the mechanical arm is pumping more thorium into the reactor while it's melting XD

[@gravedigger-cusoon]

Awesome ep sir. Thank you.

[@Noob_by_zero]

Bro put heat pipes under the reactor so corium breaks like sand and torches

[@DTheWhiteWolfD]

You know when I said you should recreate Chernobyl I didn’t mean everything about it 😭😂

[@kovanova9409]

Luckily the addition of the barrel in the fuel delivery acts as a buffer for item flow.

[@Year2047]

I love the space age design. It’s epic.

[@jenniferp3721]

No Lie, Foxy has become my favorite Minecraft youtuber! TY for the fun and entertainment.

[@worxyboi4838]

as soon as the core started overheating you should have shut it down. maybe have an emergency shutoff function next time?

[@worxyboi4838]

and also a containment building to keep any meltdowns contained.

[@overtheatlas]

Unfortunately there aren't shutoff functions, the reactor continues to consume the fuel that's inside the rods. Only way to turn it off is let it burn the rest of the nuclear fuel

[@Theminecraftian772]

"The heat isn't moving away from the reactors." "Oh, they've turned off, let's put all our fuel in there, keep it going." "Oh no!! They've gotten too hot! How could this have possibly happened!?" For the heat transfer pipes, the heat is transferred by dividing the heat by how many neighboring heat pipes their are (that are colder than itself I think, but I could be wrong), and distributing the temperature evenly between itself, and its neighbors. So your long tube of heat pipe needs waaay more heat pumps if you want it to work like that.

[@samritterbusch5716]

FINALLY!!!!😂 someone that actually pronounces that word correctly.

[@trulyagoose]

Leather armor acts as hazmat

[@cloudygamessometimes]

By the way, for a bit of real world fun: The least dangerous reactor is always the one that is off, as it is usually far away from fuel, power to use the fuel, and is usually covered in so much red tape to prevent meltdowns that you’d swear it was a Christmas advertisement. Also the “Core instead of Rod” thing is probably due to the rod being in the core of the Core :3

[@Notaalt-r8e]

This is a very good lesson in having an emergency off switch

[@Creepy1YT]

UNNNNLIMMMITTTTEEEEDDDD PPPPOOOOOOWWWWWAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! 😂

[@frogsshadow4189]

You should fill the basin around the reactors with water. It'll stop the lava if it melts down again and it can help cool as well as looking cool

[@argha8763]

This is a game and we love that episode and enjoy it It is more fun than I thought 😂 good job bro 👍🏻

[@athiccsadist]

looking at your rsource packs from a few years ago glad to see youre still postng

[@Nomadx83]

To be even more interesting visually I would have pumped the water directly from the river around the island for the cooling towers instead of small infinite pools

[@Scrapfoxgaming]

39:57 it's because the chute goes directly on to the belt

[@Necronsandal]

Past Kibs has words for you buddy…

[@cortinastone]

Satisfactory reference???!!

[@Caldoric]

Personally, my suggestion for the reactors is to have a bunch of pistons with slime blocks under the reactor rods, set to constantly be going up and down, so if the reactors do melt down again, the reciprocating slime blocks will keep the falling coreium block entities from completely melting through the world. Probably.

[@mawoh3027]

Nice lava Farm 😅

[@inigoayenort546]

great video

[@kisameplays1624]

So, the reason your underground belt system was putting 1 item and then 15, is because the chutes were depositing the remainder of the stack onto the belt directly. You could fix that by either shortening the belt so it isn't under the chutes, or by putting an inventory right under the chutes and then the funnel.

[@FlamingNinja]

So, you made a backup before starting the reactor.. right?

[@semajniomet981]

"Yeah, about that..."

[@MCPE2023]

I absoluetly love your video's they make my whole day.

[@enclavegeneral2077]

Chernobyl 2.0 electric boogaloo

[@timehidden]

nice video

[@Hypoxicck]

Great episode 😂🎉

[@Pideos88]

You can try using heat pump but near the steam engines to avoid overheating, if it gets too hot it melts

[@critJones]

Honestly I was going to watch this video but definitely watching days sooner than I would've just to watch it blow

[@nicoledragunov1637]

31:43 Chernobyl all over again

[@swagnilla_ice]

Things that go wrong like this is why I avoid anything with nuclear in them 99% of the time. Occasionally I'm willing to do so, but in the end, it usually goes wrong somehow.

[@Mike-b9j9q]

Wouldn’t be nice if he put the build files in the comments or discripion

[@apalmer7429]

Did anyone else notice how Foxy said he had too much clay, then proceeded to find a Mesa? Oops. 😂😂😂

[@jameshart5504]

I think you need to run a heat pipe from each reactor individually. Effectively what you did was put 4 reactors worth of heat into a few heat pipes and they couldn't handle it.

[@Arceus3251]

Glad I'm not the only one that gets confused by the heat management system in this mod e.e"

[@mgrillo2863]

you had terracotta at home, your fuel process makes clay right?

[@ItzJoplay]

@@mgrillo2863 true

[@d-rock9113]

Time out time for Mr. NoTail

[@Argyle117]

Heat sink issue occurs, and your first thought was not to try and shut down the reactors, but instead to flood them with the rest of your nuclear fuel. Lmao.

[@Caldoric]

...also, you definitely should've added the heat pumps (and made the other adjustments) _before_ chucking in all the extra fuel towards the end there. You even acknowledged the fact to yourself by imitating the chat complaining "you're gonna have a meltdown!" shortly after.

[@Mr-Fishi1606]

oh foxy i have for u tipps with this addon: 1 reactor rod produce 600 Heat 1 boiler removes 500 Heat So if u make a reactor with 8 Rods, then u get 4800 Heat, this is enough to make 9 boilers max for max steam power 533,3333... per boiler it should be fine. 1 nuclear fuel can hold up to 10-15 minutes i think Also u need to know 1 Heat pipe transfer max 10k heat so if u make all 5-8 heat pipes a pump it should be good test this pls first in creative before u get again a meltdown 🥺

[@kylevolkaert246]

i have an idea for functionality aka no death use the heat pipe and pump them into a buffer for the heat made out of alot of vents then the excess will go to the engines (just an idea for safety)

[@Cripingcreps]

im doing the same thing as you or simmelar and the heatpipes will burn almost always

[@sg1fannz]

After watching I decided to stick with my windmill lol

[@Creepy1YT]

as an idea for another series, you could try sky factory 😅

[@omichromium]

For terracotta you only need the 3x3 of iron blocks to instamine, maybe easier than using the contraption?

[@Alkhemia8]

unhooking the heat pipes as the reactor was still on was a choice for sure lol they a reason they a scram system in real life reactors

[@kckefk0162]

The whole time watching in the end i ask myself WHY ARE YOU WORKING ON A RUNNING REACTOR lol

[@kingofdread9536]

The item stacks was because the chute put the items on the belt instead of the funnel

[@cl45a]

foxy the mekanism haz suit works for all radioactive gubbins

[@noboty7163]

You should do Minecraft Transit Railway

[@Justmebeingme37]

Woohoo create. Your builds are amazing. It's a little painful to know you put hours of work into that 30 second building montage. The scale is amazing. I love this series

[@Noble-ng3oi]

I believe that’s called a critical meltdown

[@dimensionalwarrior2229]

I feel like you forgot something, could it have been a cooling metal, oh yeah, rhe bigger the reactor the more heat it produces and you would need a stronger coolant. Hope you have a backup

[@andrewmorris483]

I consider there to be two factors in whether nuclear power should be used. Location and Culture. You got location fine I guess, but the culture about order of operations is not quite there. lol, wouldn't have been as much fun if it had worked now, would it?

[@justinswartz2162]

foxy thinking he can just stack whatever he wants.... should try stacking a wither on the dragon, now that would truely make him the stack master

[@trunip190]

could you do reactor glass as the bit you walk on over the reactors? then if they go nuclear you won't get radiation? just a thought.

[@AidenE2012gaming]

Greate vid

[@Legolas5974]

Foxynotail's Fukushima simulator

[@gravedigger-cusoon]

Apparently, they didn't listen to the last episode. Foxy said he didn't care if it was efficient or not.

[@MMK_Lion10]

Will he ever create a nuclear bomb factory?!?

[@joaopedropiotroskineis9915]

Let's avoid Nuclear Meltdown™ by running the heat output of 4 nuclear reactors into one nuclear reactor's worth of heat loop

[@Gatito527-e2x]

It does have protection, that being leather armor.

[@Fotowoltaika_Pl]

When song about Foxy making a nuclear meltdown

[@chef_cj]

14:40 PackPack

[@rohinghiya6185]

What could go wrong?? 😂😂

[@nanthapolpanlert3855]

Well, now you have your own Chernobyl in your Minecraft world☢️😱

[@omgnelonr1631]

If I remember correctly putting on full leather armour should protect you from the radiation.

[@JaydenHO06]

Might be late butttt you can use leather armor to not get the effects. hopefully this helps someone

[@superblast1]

34:37 you didn't need the depos you could've just put the arm on the funnel

[@Wild_Shelter_Crew]

Foxy try making this on copy of this world to see if it Works

[@TeamGK12]

you can protect your self against radiation wearing full lather armor.

[@Snow-warrior]

you can use FULL leather armour as a sub for Hasmat

[@MinhVoLe7]

Try referring to Boyle’s law before making a boiler

[@jaykeashcraft8518]

Not to self don’t let foxy build any nuclear and don’t go to war with the idiots and don’t nuclear bomb them ether bc Mr beardstone will be very upset with u foxy

[@Tachyon_YT]

A leather tunic will protect you from radiation
