The thing is HOW LONG does it give maximum output if you dont pause in between and let the pipes heat up.

It looks great! But the all-over placement of the pipes would set me off. I guess if you'd have more space it'd look nicer. Would it be possible to arrange the turbines in a galaxy like fashion? Like start north west, go in an arc over to east south and the same down there. https://upload.wikimedia....

My nuclear plant needs a re-vamp, so I came online and found this thread - Yay ! I have some rather general (noob-ish) questions. 1. Your 8-reactor block has 96 heat exchangers heated by 8 reactors, equivalent to 1 reactor per 12 exchangers. Isn't this equivalent to the reactors having 200% adjacen...

Ok, when even you say it is too awkward this way... I'll take a look at it. Problem with connecting all together is they always have to fuel at once or they fuel twice if they react on used cells. Well I think this time Im going for TOTAL FAILPROVE!! AAAAH Forget the number of combinators. Im going ...

The problem is that if you don't fuel all the reactors then you only get a fraction of heat. With a 8 reactor setup you get 28 times the base heat. If you even miss one reactor that drops by 5-7. Miss two and it drops by as much as 12. That is nearly half the output. I think it makes a lot of sense...

I dont think so. But you can probably run a program on that trigger that goes into foreground. In windows at least. Using task schedular and a python script maybe.

It will also help if you've accidentally dropped (Z) too many items and spilled off of a belt, Today I was dropping coal on a belt and a few dropped on the ground. Then I picked them and accidentially some from the belt up. I tried dropping them on the belt and some spilled. I picking them up but y...

It is so big it drops your FPS by 10 xD

The meaning of it was: You dont have to do anything to have an income of oil after you've done once since they dont run out. At some point ressources are really far away and "hard" to get. And there might be one point where they are too far away and you keep adding refueling statoins for t...

In my design point 1 means that all reactor are started together or none at all. There might be a slight difference because of inserter speeds but that should be at most one tick. My point 2 then waits for enough empty full cells. If all reactors have only one fuel cell that waits for all of them ....

That was a VERY valid thing to say. You like defending stuff. But apparently you dont like suggesting it. Why dont you open a feature request instead of this discussion here? Maybe you know deep down it wouldnt do any good for your will. At this stage it is not necessary to discuss this farther in ...

Can provide us more info? Which blueprint book will be the master book? I which one of all these updated and outdated ones will be the new one?
I fear I'll lose blueprints if the game decides to keep an old one

So I think the boiler shall change 1 water -> 2 steam, then introduce a new item called Compressor, which can change 2 steam -> 1 water in 100 degree C. I remember that in real power plant, there are several stage of heating and compressing to increase the overall efficiency (I forget the details h...

Fail prooving the circuits: 1) monitor fuel available for all reactors. It is better to wait for all to have fuel than to start only some. The output will be a fraction when the neighbour bonus is lost. I would add a buffer chest to each reactor that holds only 1-2 fuel cells if fuel is sparse. 2) ...

500c steam will require a hell of a lot stronger pipes to handle than water. To make this clearer: 22.1 MPa = 32053.34 psi = 2210 Bar = 2181.1 Athmospheres. Thats crazy! 3200 psi, not 32000. 220 bars. still very high. Ups, you're right. Bug: I used googles conversion tool. By default it will put a ...

Done

EDIT: I would love include a radar somewhere but couldnt find a good spot. Any ideas?

Here is how I have the combinators setup atm - you might be able to simplify further. Regarding the power connections. Shift-clicking on a power pole once disconnects all copper wires (which can be readded in specific spots using the copper wire from the crafting menu). Also, the only part of the n...

Only if you do not allow it to expand. Which, granted, you'd probably not want to do if you want to retain the energy density of that steam. But heat and pressure are not directly related. My guess is they didnt chose 500°C randomly. Therefore I assume the meant supercritical water which is also us...
