Just one thing about moderators that I did not explain very well: Unlike the quadratic increase of heat generation with increased efficiency for cells, the additional heat generated by a moderator adjacent to a cell increases *linearly* with the cell's efficiency, just like the additional power. That's why, at 11:40, the heat multiplier is 366% - each cell has a base efficiency of 200%, so have a base heat multiplier of 300%, and the additional heat multiplier is then just *2 × 1/3* = 66%.

[@WareXProvider]

Will reactors be able to convert water into steam like the reactors from Extreme Reactors? I want to use this mod together with Advanced Generators, but currently NuclearCraft doesn't support steam generation, which is necessary to use Steam Turbines from AdvancedGenerators.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Steam can now be generated through the molten salt reactors and heat exchangers ;)

Playing enigmatica 2 here now, last time I ever touched something like a reactor was like tekkit ic2 nuclear reactor eons ago . Wanted to try starting out the game with some different mods this one seemed pretty interesting and this looks pretty fun to try and set up. Don't need to be super late game to start on it either, getting to it now! Pinna park ftw BTW.

I came here looking to find out what this mod was, since I'd never heard of it until I started playing FTB Revelation. This looks fantastic. It really appeals to me in the (mathematic) customizability, and the fact that it isn't only a late game mod like the other nuclear-themed mods. It seems like you can start building lower power reactors relatively early. I had been planning - in my current play through - to expand my current resin power system until I was ready for biodiesel, but I think I'm going to jump into this as soon as I have the resources. This looks like a lot of fun.

I have spent 2 hours on a 11x11x8 reactor (it didn't work), then I had an idea to expand it to a 11x11x9, and, after another 2 hours, I had just enough cooling! BUT... it didn't start when i put fuel into it, and i spent an hour trying to fix it. I couldn't fix it and blew it up with tnt (modded tnt, because regular does very little damage). Later i found out I needed a lever (redstone signal)... 😑 My complaint: Make stuff easier to blow up 🤣

How can we make the reactor stop using fuel when it is full?

How do you get fuel?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Thorium/uranium through the isotope separator -> craft into fuels ;)

[@spacemc6092]

NuclearCraft Thank you so much!

[@LetsPlaywithDDae]

At the beginning you mentioned to build a reactor with a fuel in mind. How should i build one that is going to deplete mox nuclear fuel for plutonium?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

The way to build to a particular fuel is to estimate how many cells and moderators you can get away with in the reactor you've built - you want to work out how much space you need to leave for cooling, keeping in mind that, coolers work at a rate of about 90-100 H/t on average. So say you've built a 5x4x3 reactor, which has a volume of 60 blocks. That means that you start with an approximate cooling capacity of 6000 H/t, and every block you use up with a cell/moderator removes roughly 100 H/t from that. When the heat from the cell structure nearly matches the approximation of the amount of cooling space available, that's when you know to start trying to place the coolers. Sometimes it doesn't work, but sometimes it will and you'll have a reactor built to the choice of fuel :)

[@adigyran]

damn, i though where is control rods, but realized i mixed up this mod with big reactor mod, that really had control rods and only upper access

[@NuclearCraftMod]

[@nogotogon3513]

What is the equation for the heat generation

[@apathy5218]

I finally got to explore this mod in much more detail. I love most aspects of the mod but the gathering/creating fuels is the least fun thing about this mod. If the fuels were better handled, it would be my favorite mod by far, just way too much upkeep, convoluted with the amount of fuels.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Would an optional, simpler fuel system be something you're interested in? If so, which fuels should be available and what should they reprocess to?

[@apathy5218]

I am playing all the mods 3, so the extreme reactors materials are vastly different, more expensive to make in other packs I've played in. This makes extreme reactors sorta late game compared to Nuclearcraft fission reactors. I just found myself fighting with maintaining the fuel before you're progressed enough to start running quarry's to auto farm thorium and uranium then progressing to the other fuels by running depleted fuels through the reprocessor or imbuing mats with oxygen for oxide fuels. Running 9 thorium ingots through an isotope separator for 1 fuel seems sorta excessive for the base fuel. The need to cool the reactor is what drew me the most to nuclearcraft fission reactor, I think that is on point. My suggestion is to maybe make it a little easier to maintain base fuels while keeping the more endgame fuels the same. The ore gen for nuclearcraft is fine, its just the quantity needed for base entry level TBU fuel is where I found the biggest issue with. Maybe increasing the burn time on the beginning fuels would be the easiest. I know the player can modify a lot of that in the configs but I typically don't like doing that kinda stuff.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

The problem is that I decreased the yield from thorium and uranium for their respective isotopes because other players said it was too easy to make a lot of fuel. If it really is just something like the base time of the fuels that you want to increase, it's very easy to do so in the config - you can even do it in-game, by just heading into the mod options.

So I have a 7x11x7 reactor in Enigmatica 2 expert and I'm trying that redstone method that's shown at the end of the video.. but for some reason when input down a redstone torch on the block I have with the competitor on the controller.. when the redstone gets any sort of heat to the torch.. it always flickers the torch on and off.. is there something I did wrong or?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

That's also what's happening in the video, just at a slower rate. If you want to smooth the updating out a bit, increasing the delay with a redstone repeater should do :)

[@quircky6113]

I used a fuel that said it had a 60m processing time and it only burned for 30. Do you maybe know why that is? Could it be because I used 2 reactor cells?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Absolutely correct! The base process time is divided by the number of cells to get the actual process time :)

How am I supposed to make all of these "easy to craft" items when they all require boron and lithium? I play on skyfactory 4 and boron is a fairly rare ore to come across when the only place it is found is in the twilight forest dimension. It takes me about an hour of searching the small islands to find just a couple boron and I can make maybe 4-8 advanced plates with that. I tried using the laser drill to get boron but that requires an insane amount of power for it to even work. I am not sure what else to do other then spending hours and hours searching for boron and lithium just for a couple items to make 1 block when I need about 50.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Usually lithium and boron are relatively common overworld ores in a normal game - it sounds like SF4 configured them to be far rarer than usual :P

[@TheHaPaMa]

craft a bucket of mud (type lithium or boron), feed it to a normal pig (spawning on grasblock), let the new boron or lithium pig live on stone and harvest the lithium and boron truffle they leave on the ground), craft the truffle to boron or lithium

[@kirbbyfanrocks]

TheHaPaMa thank you! :)

[@thenax7998]

Just started playing Nuclearcraft in the Enigmatica 2 expert pack, and gotta say NC is a very nice mod. Basicly replaced IC2 for me (Which I'm not a fan of, too picky with tools to break machines etc.) And this video made me more easy with building a reactor. Saw a NC reactor exploding, leaving only rubble. But the fact It's possible to see Heat etc. before you even start it, is very nice! Is there an explosion with meltdown, or is it like in a vid I saw with radioactive liquid coming out it? Very nice mod, with many nice machines!

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Thanks very much! It's always like you saw now, i.e. no explosion and instead just a mess of corium.

[@braelinmichelus]

I've been having an issue with active cooling. No matter which coolant I use, whether its water, Resonant Ender or Gelid Cryotheum, the cooling will never rise above -20. I've tried placing the Active Fluid Cooler adjacent to the Buffer. I've tried using different Fluid Conduits, Fluiducts, and even Laser Fluid Relays, yet nothing works any better. And yes, I am placing the Active Fluid Cooler in the correct position for the coolant.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Are you using the default configs? Could I have a pic of your setup?

[@braelinmichelus]

All of my configs are default. Except for the power output of the Californium Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, which I set to 1,000 RF/t. I use it for testing purposes. I took a bunch of screenshots of my test reactor setup. I tried with Resonant Ender, and Water. With both Ender IO Fluid Conduits, and with Thermal Expansions Fluiducts (with and without servo.) Nothing worked. Here's a link to my Postimage gallery with all the screenshots. postimg.cc/gallery/1rtchduzi/

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Ah - the problem is that the active coolers still need to obey the cooler rules - for example, the resonant ender needs to touch three casings.

[@braelinmichelus]

I realized that I made an error there. But the cooler with water was in the correct space, and it didn't work either. Check the images.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Hmmm.. are you sure the fluid's actually getting to the cooler? In the picture with the creative portable water tank, the servo on the inside of the reactor is not active.

But what's the point of having two if they do the same? Why go for beryllium when graphite is easier to get? thanks for your answer though. I never really made anything bigger than 5 by 5 so I'm still a rookie even if I've used this mode since 1.7.10.

[@sealx2292]

now beryllium isnt that useless anymore + i personally run out off coal very often in the early game

[@AlexJones-qf7rw]

Sure I applaud that there's a use of beryllium now. But if I remember correctly it spawns lower than coal.

Thats true but you need coal for many other things especially for energy generation in early stages of the game. But yes.... a slightly different effect would be nice

you really want me to never finish my Resourcepack, do you? also now that we got EIO back we can just use the conduits. no need for ports since you can fit 4 different conduits per block, and the controller being on the border means it has 2 faces open, or space for 8 conduit types. or you know, XNet

[@NuclearCraftMod]

I never promised that you wouldn't have to keep up :P And, well, first of all, not everyone might be using EIO or XNet, so they're still useful then, and even the best EIO conduits can only transfer 20 kRF/t at max, so you still may need ports if your reactor's output is higher than that.

The emerald cooler seems a bit cheap for me, considering that I can just go to a village and trade my crops for loads and loads of emeralds. I think the efficiency should be based off of actual material effectiveness, not just how expensive a material is supposed to be, which can be very different depending on one's situation.

Liquid Sodium is actually used in real nuclear reactors as a coolant. If the inside of the reactor is hotter than the melting point of the material, you can use it as a coolant.

[@flaps000]

Why I don't have reactor cell in crafts. P.S I have 2.0 version

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Hopefully you were able to work out the problem - sorry for not replying earlier :P

[@BillGarrisonJr]

So, active coolers can't be used for the requirements of passive coolers but can active coolers be used for the requirements of other active coolers?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

No, active coolers can support no other coolers, passive or active ;)

@@NuclearCraftMod thanks for dealing with my spam comments :) Thats what you get for making your videos good and having me spam watch them :P

[@BillGarrisonJr]

I feel like every dev should put videos like these out instead of changelogs.....its amazing.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

@@BillGarrisonJr No prob! I guess most other mods have in-game docs and such. I will add that at some point though, with Patchouli probably :)

[@BillGarrisonJr]

@@NuclearCraftMod Id much rather these videos to be honest. Just put in a book that links to the latest videos lol. Still, I can imagine that most devs don't have the time to develop the mod AND put out quality videos like this. Kudos to you!

[@pizzaking354]

can u also explain how to make ur reactors meltdown

[@NuclearCraftMod]

It’ll melt as soon as the heat maxes out

Are you telling me that i have been using the moderator blocks the wrong way? After THREE YEARS of using the moderator blocks wrongly i learned how to properly use a moderator block... THREE FRINKIN YEARS >:( Btw this is not to send hate

[@transamgaming8431]

Jeez these are more powerful the big or extreme reactors even tho big and extreme reactors are the same mod

[@chillren654]

how do i harvest the energy after?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

You can extract either from the controller or a fission port :)

[@chillren654]

@@NuclearCraftMod thanks but how do i exactly extract it from the controller? im loving the mod i just dont understand everything

[@NuclearCraftMod]

@@chillren654 In the same way you would from any generator - with a cable or battery of some kind.

@@NuclearCraftMod Alright thank you!

Which modpack are you playing on?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

It was just a simple custom test one, where I threw a bunch of mods together.

[@xxsiddplaysxx4178]

Will 1.16.5 version work with this mod ???

[@NuclearCraftMod]

In case you're still looking for NC on newer versions, check out NuclearCraft Neoteric by igentuman :)

[@xxsiddplaysxx4178]

Will do once I get a new laptop

[@mtdeeley]

a 3x24x3 fission reactor is not the best i recommend at least 15x15

[@gillvision646]

I figured out what my problem was. I didn't have the energy cells set up right.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Aha - at least it's sorted :)

[@xBEEKAYRANDEEx]

I can confirm that automating power via temperature levels does NOT work if the redstone feeds to a reactor port as in this image: gamepedia.cursecdn.com/ftb_gamepedia/7/7d/Nuclearcraft-solid-fuel-fission-heat-comparator.png?version=672054fa5462475ac9d5b2a4b7d84e41 I have recreated this image exactly and the redstone signal feeding into the reactor port does not turn on the reactor itself.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Yes, that image is misleading - you are right to say that ports can not handle redstone control.

[@KrisoIsReal]

Absolutely not doing this to make a nuclear fallout-

ADD A TOUGH ALLOY BLOCK PLZ

[@NuclearCraftMod]

You may be interested in this: www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/nuclearcraft-extra-ingot-blocks It's a script addon, rather than a normal mod, but the instructions for installing it are in the description :)

[@Hackerhunter15]

Hey when will the steam versions of the reactors be included again?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

They are on the way, but taking a little longer than usual to get finished. I have nearly completed the molten salt reactors themselves, but I still need to do the heat exchangers, turbines and boilers before it can all be used :)

[@Hackerhunter15]

I liked pairing them with mekanisms turbine.

[@NuclearCraftMod]

There will be an option to produce standard steam for use in Mek and ER turbines, so you should be fine.

[@Hackerhunter15]

Next update?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Next major update, yeh - will be a while though!

[@sansw.d5701]

I don't even know how to make fuel man

[@_incognito_8986]

i don't have conduits

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Transport pipes of any sort will do the trick.

[@chuckdu21]

why did you delete steam controller? it is the basic of fission reactor make steam and make energy with turbine.... its not RP anymore

[@NuclearCraftMod]

Because there are new steam-producing reactors - check out the Molten Salt Reactor and Heat Exchanger vids ;)

[@Veldiir]

Too complicated of a mod to really be viable.. just use extreme reactors to get the same effect. :)

[@NuclearCraftMod]

No prob - this mod is not for everyone!

[@deeznutz862]

for some reason i dont have the conduits are there any fixes for that or am i just stupid?

[@NuclearCraftMod]

You need to install a mod that adds them - NC doesn’t have its own

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im just stupid
