Given that the theoric output of reactors is ( 56*4*40)+(4*3*40) = 9.440000 GW and that the mod rate calculator approximate it as 157.3*60 = 9.438000 GW the efficency is between 99.99985 % and 100.02104% which i think shows no problem in that regard, all the reactor burning capacity can be turned i...

OK added some pumps. The output is... well. 9.444 GW. No. 9.438 GW.... Noooooooo

Edit : there are mods too maybe this one or those listed at the bottom of its description https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Circuit_P ... Combinator

Yeah, thank you!

Anybody has any suggestions how to measure power more accurately? 3 blocks of 2x10 reactors can sustain 9.4GW so it looks 100% but as the temp of the reactors are 99X degrees, there might be some minor bottlenecks... :D The polished version: - saved 16 tiles from height - optimized cables, removed l...

I've added tons of pumps, just another wip version for the merged steam pipes. 10 x 16 heat exchangers are the perfet ratio for 10 reactors, could not stand... 2x2 tiles can be saved for sure (1 at the well, 1 at the heat exchangers I added for pumps but removed), even more maybe. Upd: savegame was ...

There were two different engineers. One designed the heat exchanger and the other one designed the steam turbine. Both agreed upon working with 500°C steam. Yeah, they should have talked a bit more.. :) Also TY for the long post! I had the same conlusions but the merged steam pipes did not want to ...

I only get 9.3GW instead of 9.4 GW. Also the reactors are heating up so cut too much. My calcs wrong again due to the lower output - must calc that.

Happy to see where this thread goes :-) Always happy to get comments, especially if most of them are right! I'm to create a tileable reactor BP which is for 10x2. For that, I'll have to plan for a "middle" setup which is 2 x 1600 MW - full 300% bonus for all reactors. The savegame is 3x 10...

Factorio for me is about exploration. You're right, probably all good BPs were created by someone before in the past many years. Having some special needs & as I've skipped nuclear as a whole in the past (UPS) now exploring it. Now I have what I like and learned how it works in the finest detail...

Really useful answers, thank you for all! As written above the calculations for a tileable setup should be done as all reactors has +300% bonus - in case the tile ends up in the middle. Now switched to a 10x2 tile as I'd like to have full logistic coverage. It should produce 3+GW and match the 50 ti...

Thank you, it makes sense! Now I know what to search for. Example for the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/o25f9w/beacon_power_draw_bug/ So Beacons have a huge buffer hence the 5x demand, numbers are matching. I'll fix my powerplant first to get rid of bottleneck on water/steam...

Looking for advice - maybe I miss something obvious here. I’m experimenting w/nuclear reactors for a megabase. Created a 2x8 block which is producing 2.4GW in theory. It does for some hours… As after some hours it goes back to 2.3GW which is annoying, also the “Satisfaction” scale works odd. To test...

If you know there's a thread on it with that's considered duplicate, and thus has a link to another thread (which isn't this one), then why didn't you post in one of those? https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=351891 (<- classed as Minor Issue) I referred to the report [0.17.79] Character St...

Like in the duplicate of this bug report, I've also stucked into a pipe when the bots placed the one on the corner (I think). I have the savegame if needed. I was walking when it happened. Not a big deal to mine it, minor annoyance.

So mod Power Grid Comb to stay, hope it won't be broken due to these internal changes. You cannot break something that is already broken :P I had to uninstall Power Grid Comb after unfortunately seeing it's really not tidying up my powerpoles as i expected. For me it does the job - consistency. You...

I really like FFFs regardless of the impact on the gameplay. Please keep posting!

So mod Power Grid Comb to stay, hope it won't be broken due to these internal changes.

PS:

As a bonus, we can also close some of the historic bug reports on the topic.

How to smuggle in two links :-]

Belter OreIn v3.0 - Almost full DI - 10 Beacon setup - I've spent the most time on this setup so far, I like the honeycomb power line pattern - One iron belt was not enough, so in the middle it changes to the 2nd - No timing yet - 138 UPS for me: https://factoriobox.1au.us/map/info/dd3753ea75014317...

Belter OreIn v2.0

- Almost full DI
- 8 Beacon setup
- 2.7% over prodcution
- No timing yet
- 152 UPS for me: https://factoriobox.1au.us/result/3a273 ... e617edd91d

Belter OreIn v1.0 - My fully DI solution created from this version which is in the other thread. - 5B/6B Beacon setup - 4.1% over production in GS - No timing - 173 UPS for me: factoriobox - That's a surprise that this is the fastest from v1/2/3 Green Science UPS OreIn Editor - Belter v1.0.png

Belter OreIn v0.1 - for baseline - This is the map shown in the first post. - I digged this out from a very-very, very old savegame.. - Here just for a baseline, really bad for UPS. Zero DI, tons of unecessary inserters, splitters etc. - But it is 12B :-) - 95 FPS for me: https://factoriobox.1au.us...
