Extreme Reactors

Description

Curseforge Description 
You need more energy for your machines? Get an extreme amount of it

Extreme Reactors is the original port of the 1.7.10 mod Big Reactors, by Erogenous Beef, rewritten for MC 1.9.4 / 1.10.x / 1.11 / 1.12.2 and 1.16.3 / 1.16.4 / 1.16.5 / 1.17.1 / 1.18.1 / 1.18.2 / 1.19 / 1.19.1 / 1.19.2 / 1.20 / 1.20.1 / 1.20.6 / 1.21 / 1.21.1. The name was changed following Curse Forge deployment rules.

Giants Reactors to harness the power of the atom or mighty Turbines to turn steam into energy? Why not both?

Build huge multiblock machines to produce produce energy in a very efficient way. Extreme Reactor support natively the Forge Energy Power system with the Forge Energy Power Taps so you would be able to power the vast majority of modded machines.

Extreme Reactors is a custom sized multi-block reactor for power generation, similar to Bigger Reactor & Big Reactor.

Setups and Sizes

Object Max Height (Y) Max Size (X/Z)
Basic Reactor 5 5
Hardened Reactor 48 32
Turbine 32 32
Fluidizer 16 16

FunshineX has made a very detailed video going over all the different sizes of reactors, efficiencies, placement of moderators, and turbine setups.

Some additional information regarding other aspects on how the turbines work and other tips .

Tips

  • Wider is more efficient than taller for fuel.
  • The most efficient setup for rods is a checkerboard pattern with three spaces between the outermost rod and the interior wall. Heat manifolds placed on the interior walls of the reactor also in a checkerboard pattern in the cardinal directions of any rods (North, South, East, West).
  • Passive cooled reactors generate rf, active cooled with water produces steam for turbines. You will need to run passive for a while to produce cyanite for blutonium to make turbines.
  • One actively cooled reactor can produce enough steam for several turbines.

Computer Craft Integration

You can use Computer Craft with scripts such as Kasra-G’s Automated Reactor Controller to easily automate your reactor with the Reactor Computer Port. There are other Computer Craft scripts that will integrate with Extreme Reactor Turbines as well.

You must enable HTTP API for Computer Craft Integration

To pull the script above as outlined in the repo’s instructions, you must edit the following file:
/YOURWORLDNAME/defaultconfigs/computercraft-server.toml

Search for http and make sure it is set to enabled = true as shown below.

computercraft-server.toml
    [http]
        #Enable the "http" API on Computers. Disabling this also disables the "pastebin" and
        #"wget" programs, that many users rely on. It's recommended to leave this on and use
        #the "rules" config option to impose more fine-grained control.
        enabled = true

Your server must be off when changing this file. If you edit it while it is running, the changes will not apply.
