NuclearCraft Overhaul - Solid Fuel Reactor [Read Pinned Comment!]

[@NuclearCraftMod]

This comment has a few important details, so I recommend hitting the "Read more" button and seeing it all :) *1. This design now needs to be modified in light of recent heat sink cooling rate and placement rule changes! The new design is here:* *Design NCPF:* drive.google.com/file/d/1C0JMXwc4AoHEEIIKyMDgEwTzV9BKEuX9 *Design PNG:* drive.google.com/file/d/1KnDJ_PpmucyIQVoFXjDWcwECn6n8IGZB *2. Vents now have two modes: input and auto-output! They will be in input mode when first placed, and will not output steam unless switched to auto-output mode. To switch from one mode to the other, right click with an NC multitool.* 3. Something I didn’t really go over was that sparsity multiplier - it is another multiplier that effects the overall production efficiency which kicks in if the reactor is too empty. More precisely, if less than 75% of the block spaces of the reactor interior is taken up by ‘useful’ components (be they moderators, functional cells, valid heat sinks, neutron reflectors, or whatever), there will be a penalty. By default, the maximum penalty is 50%, when the reactor has no useful components at all (hence why the multiplier is 50% at the start). 4. Also notice that, before I fixed the iron sinks not being connected to the conducting clusters, the GUI was showing that there were two clusters at 27:04 - that's because the cluster containing the six cells on the left was totally disconnected from the cluster containing the six on the right. Although in this case the corrected design is single-clustered, you could make use of fragmented clustering to localise any potential damage from meltdowns ;)

This new concept basically made this Mod 2 times more realistic and complex, but also 10 times more fun! Thx so much for your work! :)

Make fallout longer lasting .Lower isotope decay rate by few hundred times i know that it can be done from the setings but make it by deafult.Switch your system to siverts ,8 siverts guaranteed death.Make leaves and trees also grass become orange to red when exposed to over 1sivert for more that 1minecarft day.Add extremely radioactive grapfite and even more radioactive spent fuel roods.Add melted reactor cores .Just some ideas .

@@beherith2874 You're welcome!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

@@artemiybelov7050 The radiation/fallout decay rate can be modified in the configs. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "isotope decay rate", but if you mean the radiation levels of the isotopes, the levels are all the inverse of the real half-lives in years. The system is inspired by Fallout more than real life, hence the use of rads as the unit ;) I probably won't add different leaf and log types, mainly because there are lots of other things that need doing, but that could be done in an addon or via CraftTweaker. There are plans from other people to add heavier and more radioactive fuels in future addons, which may be what you're looking for :)

I make modpacks to play with friends, and my previous one had Extreme Reactors instead of NuclearCraft (since I didn't know this existed at that point). Since they're so easy to make, everyone made their own in their own bases, which was kinda boring, really. I've added NuclearCraft to my new modpack instead of Extreme Reactors, and since no-one knows how to do this (and nobody wants radiation in their base) we've all united together to build a sort of public reactor that we'll all draw power from, and we're all working together to build it. Having a blast so far, keep up the good work!

[@nelriana]

Looks really good, I am looking forward to seeing the overhaul finished. I just have two questions, when the turbine was displaying the 17,150 rf/t, the text you added in post said it was actually 4316. Was that because you were running the turbine at just over 400% (~397%) due to backlog of steam, or was that a config setting during that build of the overhaul? The second question is what hotbar swapping mod is that? I generally prefer multi-hotbar, but it has conflicts with a lot of huds in the current pack I am making atm.(geiger counter, and Adv Rocketry are the two biggest issues that multi-hotbar conflicts with). Thanks in advance

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Thanks! Yes, the 17 kRF/t was only temporary and due to a small backlog - the turbine's capacity was 1200 mB/t, while the reactor's steady-state steam production rate is 300 mB/t. I'm pretty sure the hotbar-switching mod is Quark :)

[@MBCollector672]

Am I wrong in thinking that 4316 rf/t is kind of low power output for what you've made here? Even 17 krf/t seems a bit low, but that might just be because I've mostly played SkyFactory 4 where you can get a 16.2 krf/t generator running with eight bonsai pots and an autocrafter. Gotta say though, overhaul is even more complex and terrifying than the original NC (I mean this in the best way possible) and I think it'll be really fun if it ever shows up in a modpack I get into.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

It is kinda low compared to most other mods and modpacks, but all these numbers are relative and pretty easy for pack makers to adjust :)

[@Ziomus933]

I came here from curseforge, since I was checking on the modlist to add something into my modpack and I gotta say - it's so damn complicated. I use ExtremeReactors to generate power for my machines and this^ is something really different. By the look of you wearing hazmat suit or whatever scuba diving gear you have on you, it's some serious stuff. I'd love to understand what the hell is going on here, appreaciate the realism but that's just too hard for me, literally rocket science. I hope that you have some plans to add more animated blocks to the structure, that would give it a little more spark imo. Nontheless wish you good luck with the mod development and a lot of nuclear enthusiasts using your mod ;)

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Hey there - no worries, this mod is not going to be for everyone! The perfect scenario is for Extreme Reactors and NuclearCraft to cover most bases - that way, most players have a reactor mod they can enjoy :)

[@theonedan1589]

Nice!

[@hallucinogender]

I have a suggestion/request: a block that can be placed inside of a reactor which will craft neutron irradiation recipes of items placed inside - ideally with CraftTweaker support. As a modpack developer I can certainly see myself getting some good use out of custom neutron irradiation recipes that require a running reactor (perhaps even one purpose-built for neutron irradiation), and I am sure other developers would also appreciate such a feature. Also, will there be any kind of control rods, to shut down a reactor in an emergency (in exchange for some detriment perhaps)?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Neutron irradiators were added in v2o.0.8 :) And yes, there will be some control rod system, but I have been away from developing the mod for a month or so and haven't thought about details yet.

[@guineapigmart882]

Cant wait for the full overhaul!

[@thm1940]

Hi not to sound rude but you should do a video about meltdowns and how to deal with them because I got a fusion meltdown and I don't know what to do Edit: I honestly think there should be a SCRAM button or EPIS / AZ-5 that would remove the comparator clocks and make it extremely more realistic ( SCRAM = beryllium, AZ-5 = Graphite, EPIS = heavy water)

[@NuclearCraftMod]

There will effectively be a SCRAM-like mechanism with these new reactors, i.e. putting down all of the neutron shields between cells. I'm basically finished with the pre-overhaul builds, but when meltdowns are actually implemented in these newer versions, I'll show what happens and how to deal with the possibility of them :)

[@thm1940]

@@NuclearCraftMod alright can't wait

[@jagoep]

Maybe I missed it but why can't you add radiation shielding with lead blocks? I built a containment building 3 layers thick and that does not make any difference in the radiation outside the building. Is there a reason for this? It seems odd considering the depth of this mod that you can't build shielding.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

The reason is just that a block-based shielding mechanic hasn't been added yet. I do plan to add some form when the radiation system is redone :)

I am trying to build a smaller reactor and I cannot figure out how to get a cluster to form. I have all the parts and I watched this video several times which helped to understand the other things such as criticality, moderators, etc. After all of that I am still unable to get a cluster. Do clusters need a maximum of 6 cells (my reactor has only 4) any input would be useful.

[@BucketOfFox]

Hey i recently encountered this mod while playing a modpack. I love it even if im really bad at tech type of mods so i wanted to ask, will there be any way for reactor to malfuction and possibly explode making hole and radiation wave depending on reactor size if not made propely or not checking up if the reactor has any damages because of radiation etc? Also is there any way to make anti-radiation base by using special blocks that would actually slowly collapse if left on its own? If theres some problem with understanding im sorry but english isnt my main language

[@NuclearCraftMod]

The reactors can meltdown if they overheat, but there is no 'random malfunction' mechanic or anything complex. A meltdown will release radiation inot the chunk the reactor is in ;)

Because stat prediction is not implemented yet, before the reactor is activated no stats will show up as the entire reactor is off.

I recently downloaded this version on a server of me and my friends. I had a design ready to go and I didn't see any errors on the planner. That's not all though. When I build it block by block, and also give neutrons to cells (I checked what cells to send neutrons and only sent to them) controller UI reports there nor being any clusters even though they show up in the planner. I couldn't fix it so I also checked the fuel cells by tping myself in. They only say "No cluster!" they accept fuel. I inserted water and also fuel pellets. There are enough ports for output. And another thing that might be useful in this case, I have neutron shields in the build (they are also properly linked)

Hey, the design for the heat sink layout link is no longer available. Also what mod did you use for the pipes? I used BuildCraft's fluid pipes, they connect but I don't see any cooling so at the first test my reactor overheated and melted half of my fuel cells. Edit: I also don't know how to connect it to a battery as all the cables I tried did not work. Edit 2: Also on v2o.7.7 Edit 3 (yes): It shows no clusters.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

I usually use Thermal Dynamics' super-laminar fluiducts as they have a pretty high fluid transfer rate... it's possible that BC's pipes were just a bit too slow. In case you were trying to output power from somewhere else, the dynamo coils are where you should hook cables/batteries up to extract the energy. As for no clusters, that will always be shown before the reactor is activated as I haven't added the stat prediction to the controller GUI yet. I'll also fix the links!

It sounds like you are playing the pre-overhaul version of the mod, while this is a video using the overhauled version :)

[@tenebre5512]

I have to say, I love nuclearcraft and the work you are putting in is impressive, but this overhaul seems extremely complicated, extremely expensive, and extremely punishing. To setup even this example, which you claim is the simplest possible reactor, you have to at least understand neutron flux mechanics, cooling mechanics, rotor mechanics, and coil mechanics, not to mention how to optimize for each of those factors. As you pointed out, many people already resort to using simple or pre-made reactor designs, and while I understand that this sort of mod is more for enthusiasts than general gameplay and I like that, I'm not sure what the point is of increasing the barrier to entry even further.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

I was just coming to the end of finishing a really long response, but YT's flimsy notification tab deleted the whole thing when I accidentally pressed some key... In short, the reasons that I changed the reactor mechanics are outlined here: www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/deugu7/nuclearcraft_overhauled_is_in_alpha_1122/f301mnh? Costs of parts can easily be tweaked if need be, and as for the potential entry barrier or increased difficulty of the new system, most people who have spent time with it have not found it to be anywhere near as difficult as they first thought (many originally had similar worries to you!). Some of those reasons are outlined in the link above :) The turbine coil system is basically a simplified placement puzzle, and the coil is the same as it was before. Yes, it is tricky, but something like Kurtchekov's turbine calculator can be used to solve that puzzle perfectly if wanted. Do also keep in mind that although I used the simplest fuel and the simplest sinks, that was not exactly the simplest design - it was actually a rather decent, high efficiency one. The aim of the placement puzzle is to reward good designing with high efficiencies, and as before, if you don't want to try solving it (although of course I recommend giving it a go!), you can use someone else's design.

I have two fuel cells inside and have tried multiple different moderator and cooler configurations but it just won't work, number of clusters consistently reads zero as well.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

3x3x3 is very small, yeh, just because you can only fit moderator lines of length 1 between cells. Even if you have access to heavy water moderators, that essentially limits you to fuels with a criticality factor of 72 or less if using neutron reflectors, and 36 or less otherwise. It is possible, but your efficiency won't be particularly high.

Did you build it as the video showed, or did you follow the design in the pinned comment? The one in the video is a little outdated due to some rule changes.

would this work with the MCT Immersive Technology turbine?

I'm afraid I don't know, but chances are that anything other than the basic form of steam won't without some CraftTweaker scripting.

im having trouble getting it to work ive followed the video for everything but the cells keep melting down do i need the turbine? or is the reactor itself enough i struggle to understand this with my simple mind ive even used the NCPF and got it started just for it to melt down

[@grey_ghost0160]

I wanted to know if, like molten salt reactors need heat exchangers, someday they will also serve solid fuel reactors. You know, I planned to build a full-scale reactor plant in minecraft, with heat exchangers, turbines, and maybe a control room: molten salt reactors already provide these features, but a solid-fuel one would be quite simpler to design. 😁 p.s.anyway, thanks and congratulations on the speed of response.😉

@@grey_ghost0160 The solid-fuel reactors will just produce steam, so you don't need heat exchangers, but the molten salt reactors will return :)

Perhaps you’ve accidentally filtered the cell port?

[@tornadodude640]

@@NuclearCraftMod i figured out what went wrong, for some reason the first port fills with the depleted fuel instead of porting to the second one to be filters out so my reactor keeps overheating. how could I fix this?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

@@tornadodude640 All ports share the same inventory and should have two slots: one for fuel in, the other for fuel out. If you’re not able to insert fuel, it’s either filtered to another fuel type or the port is in output mode.

Sorry for not replying much earlier - hopefully you solved the problem! It's likely that the reactor wasn't active yet. Clusters only form once components become functional.

you keep changing the names of the parts and it is EXTREMELY annoying... now I cant seem to get steam out of reactor because a vent doesnt seem to work anymore... I can put water in with a vent but I cannot get steam out with a vent as you show in this tutorial.

I haven’t changed the names of parts, it’s just that you now have to use a multitool on one of the vents to put it into output mode ;)

[@Ultravis66]

@@NuclearCraftMod Ok, I will give you an example. In your tutorial here, you are using something called a Fission reactor port (WIP). In the latest version of your release, it is no longer called a fission reactor port but a Fission Fuel Cell port.
