Love the new MSR system, making the MSRs themselves somewhat easier to design and build should make for more complex builds further down the line, as its easier to use multiple different coolants now, you're gonna have to handle these different coolants separately as well, which adds more thinking and balancing down the line, can't wait to see what the new heat exchangers will look like, keep up the good work!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Thanks very much! Hopefully then turn out nice :)

[@NuclearCraftMod]

*Note:* I should explain in a little more detail how the "heating speed" works. In both solid-fuel reactors and MSRs, each cluster has its own heat multiplier, efficiency and other stats - the controller usually shows weighted means of these for the whole design (in the future, fission monitors will be able to focus on particular clusters). The heating speed of a cluster determines how quickly NaK is heated in its coolant heaters. For example, a heating speed of 200% will produce 2 mB/t of hot NaK, 400% will produce 4 mB/t, and so on. If the cluster is heat neutral or heat positive, the heating speed is equal to the standard efficiency. If the cluster is heat negative, the heating speed is multiplied by the ratio of heating to cooling, which will make it lower than the efficiency.

Working on a minecraft modpack for 5 years That's some serious dedication!

[@Som1onu2be]

Just discovered this mod. It's one of the best, nerdiest mods I've come across. I thoroughly enjoy it. Great work, and fantastic concept!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Thanks very much :)

FINALLY A GOOD NUCLEAR MOD

[@RF_N]

But, it needs a partner for energy conductng like a cabl or somthing

[@beherith2874]

Oh god MSRs, all the memories.

[@Hlas-knih]

man i love you for modding,MODDING FOR US,people who want "true"minecraft ..lovely

[@Iapetus31]

I have a suggestion. When using the radiation scrubber, holding them as an item should highlight the chunk like immersive engineering core samples. I now you probably won’t see this, but if you do, it could make the mod a bit easier to use.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

The Geiger counter and Geiger block will do this, but sure, I can add it to the scrubber too :)

[@PhoenixianThe]

I'll admit, I miss the old MSR style. Built a massive emerald nak countercurrent exchange MSR on an Enigmatica 2 expert server last year (with a lot of empty space in the reactor casing for a mock reactor pool) and I really loved the thing. Even if it looks like the modpack appears to have done a fair bit of config fudging to make the mono-coolant style work as well as it did.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Heat exchangers will be similar to how they were before, just less of a pain to get set up and with more realistic thermal physics ;)

[@user-jc4sr7ns2g]

When are the heat exchangers coming out? I can't wait to be able to use things like preheated water and salt reactors in survival worlds! this mod is so cool, I cant wait for the next update!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Slowly getting towards a next build - irl stuff over the last year in particular has been a bit intense :P

[@cassandra2860]

Tom's been busy with real-world things, but QuantumTraverse's Moar Reactor Functionality has a temp fix for this

[@JamesAustin]

So, would you then need 5 different heat exchangers - one for each type of coolant? It seems like a lot of extra work and extra complexity, just to get to the same point that a solid fuel reactor gives you - steam. Is there some other benefit to MSR's that's not apparent here? Not trying to criticize, just trying to understand why you'd bother.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

You can use different types of hot coolant in one heat exchanger - you just have to set up independent lines for them. Ultimately the steam per unit fuel is greater for MSRs, by two or maybe more more depending on what people testing it all out think :)

[@JamesAustin]

@@NuclearCraftMod Ahh OK, so you can use just one heat exchanger, and there's a bonus to output. Makes sense, thanks :D

[@NuclearCraftMod]

@@JamesAustin No worries :)

[@scythe4605]

This mod inspired me to get a nuclear physics and chemistry degree so thank u

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Awesome! Hope it was/has been fun :)

[@paramjitsarkar6414]

I'd like a nuclearcraft qmd add-on tutorial as well, since it's very poorly documented, by that, I mean there's not enough documentation on it. So a tutorial series on it would be great!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

I would say it's probably currently better documented than NCO :P But yes, I will get round to videos on it :)

[@paramjitsarkar6414]

@@NuclearCraftMod wow that was quick

[@rdvanu6181]

To be honest the new MSR kinda feels like a reskinned SF. The pipes were the fun part I think but I agree that It was quite frustrating. Is there any config to keep the old system for MSRs?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

There is not I'm afraid, since the system is totally different. What I have been thinking about for a month or so is extra quirks to make MSRs different - right now there's the heaters in moderator lines and emergency coolant, but there may be more stuff later on if it doesn't feel forced :)

[@rdvanu6181]

@@NuclearCraftMod thanks for the quick reply. I think that MSRs should be more harder to build not by gating and materials but rather with logistics and complexity. Right now they seem like a direct upgrade. High reward should come from high work. I can't really explain but I hope you get what I mean. I am looking forward to further updates. I am sure you will find a way to balance things out. Good luck!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

@@rdvanu6181 I get what you mean, and some people will certainly rather have it more complicated, but I just have to go off the fact that almost no-one used the old ones, and even Direwolf didn't seem to be able to bring himself to do a spotlight on them :P

[@rdvanu6181]

@@NuclearCraftMod Hmm I understand. I shouldn't be so prejudiced maybe this will allow for more exciting designs rather than microsoft pipe screensaver. Besides overhaul is yet to be finished, I am sure things will fit better as the mod progresses. Thanks and kind regards.

[@a_cats]

I'm curious as to whether this mod only works well in large tech modpacks or whether it can be configured to/already works well as an endgame in more realistic/immersive tech modpacks (with the only other tech mods being something like Immersive Engineering)? I haven't used it much but it looks very fun from these videos and from other youtubers using the pre-overhaul version

[@NuclearCraftMod]

It tends to find its way into the bigger packs, but I'm sure with a clever use of CT, it could be made an end-game mod for a 'lower-tech' or realistic pack :)

[@wolfy1398]

i love your voice it's extremly calming but is there a way you could increase the volume it's difficult to hear it even with max volume and even if you can't i'il still watch your amazing videos

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Sure thing, I'll turn it up a bit in the next videos :)

NuclearCraft in 1.7.10 : Fission / Fusion (and antimatter after) Now, NuclearCraft in 1.12.2 : 😲 So much new way to play with Uranium !!! I really prefer that kind of reactor than ExtremeReactor or Mekanism reactor because... they aren't really dangerous and so much productive

[@theairaccumulator7144]

You have the wrong mindset for this mod! Go use your magic reactors and get out!

[@MasenMonster]

Nice! New vid!

[@theplayer4664]

this is too complicated for me i think it would be nice if there were block's which would make a program of how to build a specific build in a choosen way it would be much easier...

[@NuclearCraftMod]

There is a reactor builder addon which can take a reactor design json file and automatically build it :)

[@darknox245]

Hello. Between the solid fuel reactor and the fission reactor, which is better ?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

The solid-fuel reactor is a type of fission reactor.

[@alexphili8538]

Is the mod actually still being worked on ? I would be especially intersted in the particle accelerator, but it wasn't fully implemented like 3 years ago. So is it now a thing ?

[@landtechnik4k]

are you joking? he is working on it all the time. Fusion and Fission is fully done on PRE-overhaul version

[@NuclearCraftMod]

The particle accelerator was never implemented, but there is an overhaul addon for NC called QMD, adding accelerators and other particle physics machines: www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/qmd

[@alexphili8538]

@@NuclearCraftMod Thank you ^^ Sad to hear, that it wasn't implemented.

[@grdnfrmn4476]

Great mod! Is there any blocks or settings to shield radiation from reactor?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Not yet, but it's loosely planned for the future :)

[@F100cTomas]

That's cool

[@thereapingracoon4620]

all of this is so complex and I dont know how to make a good reactor for my survival game, please help!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

I recommend just messing about in Thiz's reactor planner. Over time you'll get an idea for how things work :)

[@matteofeyaerts]

Fulmination comming soon i see An particle accelerator

[@NuclearCraftMod]

QMD (an addon for NCO) adds antimatter ;)

[@landtechnik4k]

my main Problem is to get the Solid Fuel ''Pills'' so many Fuels and then theres all the Uranium Types and Oxidized ones.. before getting the right Type togeter in a Recipe i Looked it up 100 times to get the right type that is needed. If there would be a Block or Machine where you can Tell what Fuell you need and it grabbs itself from say a Chest above or so.. and gives out exactly the Fuel (say u-235) this would make my life easyer oh and the Radioaktive Ghoul Skins and behavior is not fitting the Mod. It looks like a Fun Mod not like something from a great Tech mod. Maybe some other modder that is god at modding Mobs should try to make it a bit nicer and more scary

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Once you work out how to make fuels, the pattern is relatiely simple - you make the fuel out of its isotopes, then combine with oxygen, nitrogen or zirconium. Alternatively you can make the oxides, nitrides or zirconium alloys first, then combine them into the fuels :) If you want to remove the ghouls, you can do so in the configs.

[@landtechnik4k]

@@NuclearCraftMod thank you for the quick reply. The ghouls are okay to leave them in but not really scary lol :) In a wasteland I imagine something like green Puddles or Acid Rain that hurts or Poisons you. Or little glowing ''Maggot like'' creatures living inside the Waste. Or Mutants xD you dont need to answer this iam just having something in my mind i see really fitting together with NC but iam not a Modder
