We could wait even more though, to get even more power and efficiency!
At 945 to 950C the reactor outputs exactly 80MW at 149% efficiency. Try calculating the fuel cell value and how long it will last yourself, to see if you have grasped how it works by now. Running precisely 8 heat exchangers would allow us to consume all the heat generated and keep the reactor stable.
Sounds pretty good, right? Start the reactor, disable heat exchangers, let it heat to 945, enable heat exchangers, boom, you got yourself a stable 80MW single reactor.

This is all good only on paper. According to all that you wrote, it turns out that you need to play a skipping rope with a reactor, where it will give out power for some time, and for some time not to give it out at all in order to warm up again.
Since the energy stored in the tubes, especially with regard to heat exchangers that are further from the reactor, is not consumed more slowly than the reactor heats up, there will be power drawdowns in the network anyway, isn’t that so?

Maybe reduce environmental cooling when a reactor is turned off? (its currently a fixed amount (0.5°/s), which is not optimal anyway...)

Just turn the mod off in-game. It'll automatically remove all the mod buildings/techs/items from your save when you load.

but then the vanilla reactor isnt able to craft ;_;
its not in the crafting menu
