Figured it out. Apparently the generated config file didn't assign the other pieces of armor item IDs. I checked, and the range it seemed to have wanted wasn't even used by anything else. Weird.

I absolutely love Big Reactors but since the documentation is..uh..none, I was hoping someone could answer a few questions. I'm using the 1.5 version if that makes a difference.

1. What is the max safe reactor temperature? I'm insanely paranoid about it blowing up since there's no information about this.

2. I know from wylker's spotlight that putting water in the empty spaces helps, but how does it affect efficiency, and how thorough do you need to be with covering the fuel rods? Ie, can you just put water source blocks along the top, or do you need to fill every block inside with its own source? Along that vein, does the rod need to have water on all sides or will just one or two do? This is the design I'm currently using (R = rod, W = water):

R W W R
W R R W
W R R W
R W W R

It puts out about 200mj/t, but that number seems to fluctuate quite a bit and seemingly at random. The temperature hovers around 5200-5500C

3. Do reactors have some kind of auto-shutdown? Every now and then I'll check and it will be turned off for some reason.

4. Is there a use for the blue waste ingots?

Thanks for any help. :ohdear:

Hello friend! There's actually a semi-complete wiki at the official Technic Wiki, which covers #4.

For (1), Big Reactors do not explode. As heat increases, fuel usage increases faster than power generated. High heats mean you will generate power faster, but less power per unit of fuel.

(2) There's a long complex explanation, but the basics work like this:

Fuel rods burn fuel and generate heat. This heat is radiated to the reactor they are contained in. The environment around the fuel rod determines how fast this transfer occurs.

The reactor, as a whole, consumes its internal heat store to generate power.

Water transfers heat faster than air. Heat radiates out from a rod in the cardinal directions (north/south/east/west).

The fluctuation is because of fuel rod radiation and fertilization.

In addition to heat, the fuel rods shoot radiation out in the cardinal directions. Each tick, it picks one cardinal direction and shoots radiation in that direction. That radiation is attenuated by the environment it passes through; water will slow it down and convert some of it to heat and power. If radiation strikes another fuel rod, it will "fertilize" that fuel rod. The fertilized rod will generate extra radiation and heat (and burn more fuel) for a short time, slowly returning to its normal output.

Eventually, this stuff will more obvious as I'll add particle effects shooting out of fuel rods in the cardinal directions.

Edit: Oh, and the radiation is stopped by both reactor casing and reactor walls. There's no dangerous leakage into the outside environment. This is Big Reactors, not Big Chernobyls.

(3) Not that I know of, that sounds like a bug. If you see this, can you PM me your log? Any information you can supply will help.

I noticed this happening very occasionally too until I threw down a chunkloader that encompassed the reactor and automated fuel insertion and extraction with logistics pipes. I think it was the former causing it to hiccup, but I'm not sure. As to (4), you can put them in a Cyanite Reprocessor and it'll turn them into Blutonium, which works just like the Yellorium.

The Technic Wiki page is sparse and full of stubs, but at least gives an overview and an indication of what's included.

That wouldn't surprise me. Does your reactor straddle multiple chunks? You can hit F3 and watch your coordinates to check this.

There's some funky code to detect when a reactor disassembles due to chunkload and essentially puts it into stasis. It should, however, be restored when its whole again. There's probably a bug in that bit.

Edit: VVVVV I am a derp. Thanks.

If you're using NEI (which you probably are) you can hit F9 a couple times to turn on a visible chunk grid in-world. It's super useful if you're trying to watch chunk boundaries for something like this.

Edit: Also the vanilla info screen is F3.

So I'm using the Technic Launcher and I've tried both Big Dig and Tekkit so far and the game starts up fine and then about 20-30 seconds in the framerate slows to a crawl and I'm forced to quit out. I'm on Windows 8 and have a pretty decent processor/graphics card so it's not that.

Edit: The same thing happens while I'm in menus so it's not just a graphics thing, apparently.

The tab only goes to 1GB. I tried setting it to 2 because I remember last time that being an issue.

I click the button and it just scrolls to 1GB and that's it.

Edit: I might be a massive idiot and not have java 64bit installed....

Edit 2: I sure the gently caress am.

Should I set it past 2GB?

A friend recently got me to install Minecraft again and set up a modded server. We're running Resonant Rise, it's a fairly comprehensive Forge-based modpack that we're enjoying quite a bit.

Unfortunately, I'm finding that I have literally zero self-control over my playing habits, and I'd like to set something up server-side that will kick me off after a period of time. Are there any mods out there that do that? I'm not seeing one in the MCF mod list.

If you go into LAN mode, it gives you another prompt that lets you turn cheats back on. Cheat mode won't be turned on permanently, but that should be enough to let you change that rule and the rule change should be permanent.
