IndustrialCraft 2 Nuclear Reactor Tutorial! [for Minecraft 1.12.2]

[@minecraftphenom0892]

I now also have a short tutorial on the basics of the fluid cooled Nuclear Reactors which you can view here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHnHYoKtm9qpnrM

[@danielnatzke6733]

In a world where every *single* ftb item tutorial I’ve watched is by a different channel, THIS tutorial is beyond A+. No time wasting, no inconvenient accent, no awkwardness. Thanks!

damn i like how balanced this mod is )))

[@minecraftphenom0892]

IndustrialCraft is an awesome mod. I've enjoyed playing through its various iterations over the past few years.

[@bsmaster8493]

Great tutorial. I found a java calculator where u can simulate the reactor to your liking. Also i think its just better to use geothermal generators as it generates 20EU/t, im currently using around 100 on my world. Much cheaper and infinite energy.

[@WangleLine]

Super well explained, thank you so much for this video :D

Old vid but it would be better to say, "Will not pull heat from the Casings" instead of hull. Great tutorial btw.... very helpful.

[@XD_STYLE]

So you telling me, that even One HV solar does give me more Power then a uranium Reactor? And the Reactor is more difficult to handle and to Set up?

[@minecraftphenom0892]

Yes. Good luck crafting it though lol.

[@hhh555jjj]

Can u show how to make the 14,285 EU reactor

[@cyanmine4674]

very informative video, subbed!

[@sykeamer88_20]

For some reason on the app whenever I put a quad cell no matter what design I have it says 100% reactor heat.

[@minecraftphenom0892]

Try surrounding one quad cell with 4 Overclocked Heat Vents. Adjacent to the Overclocked Heat Vents add Component Heat Vents. A single quad cell should produce 96 heat per reactor tick and the 4 adjacent Overclocked Heat Vents should be able to dissipate 20 apiece, which would still leave 16 heat to be dissipated. The Component Heat Vents adjacent to the Overclocked Heat Vents should be enough to dissipate the remaining heat.

[@zzz-uw7ou]

17:18 Do u have to craft the LZH Condensators only one time or do they loose durability and u need to craft them again?

[@minecraftphenom0892]

They lose durability over time, but they can be repaired while they are in the reactor with Reactor Coolant Injectors. WARNING!!! Be very careful with these, as they need Lapis Blocks (for the LZH) and Redstone Blocks (For the RSH) Coolant Injectors. If they run out of the Redstone/Lapis Blocks, the Coolant Injectors will be unable to repair the Condensators inside your reactor, which could end catastrophically. I strongly recommend that you play around in Creative Mode to gain a functional understanding of how they work.

[@minecraftphenom0892]

I also have a video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p53Wi5uwmKmZaLc) where I actually build a bunch of reactors with the LZH and RSH Condensators. Start at the 15:50 mark for that. Also, I build a safety mechanism near the end of the video for the reactors (to automatically shut off the reactors if I run out of Redstone or Lapis Blocks).

[@zzz-uw7ou]

@@minecraftphenom0892 thanks for the quick answer! If i have a reactor coolant injector "fueled" with lapis blocks, there shouldnt be a problem tho and the reactor is safe like that right?

[@minecraftphenom0892]

@@zzz-uw7ou Make sure that the Injector is powered and that it has the right voltage as well. I would definitely test your set-up in a creative world first though. Nobody likes to have their base blown up by their shiny new reactor lol. Good luck!

How can i craft silver and silicone? Please help!!

Got a question i know you mignt not know it anymore but is the Reactor at16:40 completly stable? can i let it on until the reactor fuel rods are empty?

[@quintenmc]

i still don't know how to make the rods it says i need a special uranium but to get that uranium i need that uranium u get it?

[@minecraftphenom0892]

Put Uranium Ore in a Macerator. That will give you Crushed Uranium. Put the Crushed Uranium into an Ore Washer OR into a Thermal Centrifuge. If you put the Crushed Uranium into a Thermal Centrifuge, you then get Purified Crushed Uranium Ore. Put the Crushed Uranium ore OR Purified Crushed Uranium Ore into a Thermal Centrifuge. That will give you 1 Tiny Pile of Uranium-235 (2 if you used the Ore Washer) and 4 Uranium-238 (5 if you used the Ore Washer). These two isotopes of Uranium are used to make the Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel, as 3 Tiny Piles of Uranium-235 are used and 6 Uranium-238 are used to make each fuel. To make it into a fuel rod, put the Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel into a Canning Machine (Either Canning Machine as the mod IndustrialCraft2 has two of them) with an Empty Fuel Rod. Voila, you know have a Fuel Rod (Uranium) I highly suggest that you use JEI with this mod. It should be able to tell you all of these recipes in game.

[@VelexTheGamer]

Can you do a video about liquid cooled reactor? Because I can’t really seem to interact with the reactor access hatch, maybe a glitch. I wonder if it also happens to you?

[@minecraftphenom0892]

I've never had any problems with it myself, but I don't think I have played with the liquid reactors in Minecraft 1.12.2. It is something I could definitely do in the future.

[@minecraftphenom0892]

I know it's probably a bit late, but I finally got around to making one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHnHYoKtm9qpnrM

[@lancephorus4826]

I would rather have this reactor blow up then my draconic reactor I had to completely restart last time my draconic reactor exploded

[@minecraftphenom0892]

I would still be careful with these as well. They can still cause quite a mess if they undergo rapid unplanned disassembly.

[@fuzzcarl]

Is the reactor at 17:21 100% stable?

[@fuzzcarl]

ok nvm I just tried it and it exploded

[@minecraftphenom0892]

You need to have LZH Coolant Injectors Attached to the reactor with Lapis Blocks in them. They also require power to run.

Good work!

[@ImLucasC]

after i buid the reactor, how can i store the energy? Is it in a mfsu or any other specific batterie? (sorry for the bad english)

[@minecraftphenom0892]

MFSU is typically a good option, but an MFE might also work as well. Keep in mind the voltage limitations of the batteries that you use. Trying to pump in too much voltage into a battery (or machine for that matter) will cause it to explode.

[@ImLucasC]

@@minecraftphenom0892 i tried multiple times to connect to a mfsu ( using transformers like ev and hv but it still explodes ( im using the most overpowered reactor that u shown)

[@minecraftphenom0892]

@@ImLucasC If you are producing more than 8192 EU/t not even an EV-Transformer will be able to handle the voltage

[@ImLucasC]

@@minecraftphenom0892 so its basically useless to build such reactor

[@minecraftphenom0892]

@@ImLucasC I believe there is a mod that adds a higher tier transformer, which would be able to handle the voltage. Also, you could place a Matter Fabricator (with enough Transformer upgrades) beside the reactor, thus eliminating the need for cables and transformers. But you are mostly correct.

Me after watching this: yeah I'll stick to my big reactors.

[@tntwiktor9288]

What mod are you using to see how many EU/t generator is producing?

[@notleks2411]

How do you actually craft the fuel rods though? I’m trying to figure out but JEI or IC2 wiki doesn’t show how to make them, it keeps giving false information.

[@minecraftphenom0892]

Single Fuel Rods are crafted from an Empty Fuel Rod and Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel in a Canning Machine.

[@notleks2411]

MinecraftPhenom08 And Enriched Uranium is made from processing ore in a Thermal Centrifuge?

[@minecraftphenom0892]

@@notleks2411 Uranium ore is processed in the Macerator. That should give you Crushed Uranium Ore. Put the Crushed Uranium Ore into a Thermal Centrifuge. This will give you some (I think 4) Uranium-238 and 1 Tiny Pile of Uranium-235. In a vanilla crafting table, you can make the Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel with 6 Uranium-238 and 3 Tiny Piles of Uranium-235 (The Tiny Piles of Uranium-235 go in the middle row of the crafting grid and the top and bottom rows consist of Uranium-238). Then you take the Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel to a Canning Machine with an Empty Fuel Rod.

Man, why does this mod make it so incredibly annoying to get tiny piles of uranium? You need it for the fuel rods yet they make you make the thermal centrifuge for absolutely no reason.

I would guess that it is just a sprinkle of realism. In real life you have to send uranium through thermal centrifuges to separate the U-235 from the U-238.

[@tavish2696]
