Yeah you're right, WAILA says they're from electricraft. Still, there's no reason for them to be interchangeable.

He OreDicts them as nickel and platinum.

I
don´t know if i build it wrong, but i stack 3 cores and surround them
with CO2 heat exchangers(12 total) then insulate it with any material.
Put in the fuel and fill a reservoir worth of co2 in the system( too
much CO2 can ruin the reaction i think). SentinalhMC has a Howto Video(
bit outdated but shows well the setup)

That design likely no longer works.

Hey Reika.

I
wanted to use your RF Storage Battery. Storing RF in it works fine, but
I seem to miss something with the output. I just can't get any energy
out of this battery..

Do I have to configurate it? Or use some special cables for it?

I've
tried using the RF Transfer Cables and the Cryo-Stabilized Fluxduct
(Thermal Dynamics) to send the RF's from the battery into an Energy Cube
(mekanism).

Do I have to assign somehow the output? Or use some special cables for it?

If you need any more details about it, just tell.

Give it a redstone signal.

You can have a pulverizer running after 30min of playtime.

Ten minutes.

I don't think RoC/ReC has nickel and platinum ores.

Those are ElectriCraft.

Quote from CapeWrath»

Exactly.
Reikas mods are balanced very differently then other tech mods, the
grinder ore multipiclation for instance pretty much renders the
pulverizer/macerator useless as its cheaper and easier to maintain. Also
ore gen like nickel and platinum is a big problem for TE balance, i
think they shouldn't be interchangeable with ferrous and shiny. Never
played with ChromatiCraft so I don't know how well it's balanced, but
since it's not a tech mod I don't think it should have balance issues.

Anyway,
back to ReactorCraft I still coudn't build a small and efficient HTGR
so i tried a big and powerful one, but it didn't work either. Can
someone help me? What is wrong with this setup? http://imgur.com/o7EK4hS

The
pebble bed cores form a 5x5x3 rectangle with CO2 heat exchangers around
and steel blocks for insulation, but the reactor doesn't go past 730 C.

I
tried the same setup on the Nether and it worked fine, until i placed
water in the steam boilers and it blew up hehe. Is there anyway to cool
the boilers in the nether? cooling fins didn't work either.

Think about heat dissipation for a second.

Sounds
like there might be some issue with the argument to readTank. As in,
whoever wrote the interface may have decided to have you pass the index
of whatever you want to read.
So, the best advice I can give is to
see if there is some extra documentation to the readTank function, or
just start passing it numbers until it goes out of bounds, and
experimentally establishing which number corresponds with the thing
you're looking for.

You do pass the index, of the tank itself. There is no other good way to identify them.

No problem, os.pullEvent() does the same thing. Most peripherals usually return tables though, but I guess these don't. (hint hint, reika )

?

I return an array.

Which makes me ask the question: you've got coolers. You've got ice makers (I believe).

Why not let someone cool the steam engines to the point that they won't go boom?

Do you have any idea what the energy cost to cool that much in the nether is??

Nope. But if I have a nuke plant to toss at it, I might have enough energy to cool it.

Quote from CapeWrath»

Well you could mean a lot of things by heat dissipation, my first thought was about the steel i was using to "insulate" the CO2 heat exchangers, i changed it to ReC concrete and it didn't make a difference at all. Then a quick google search pointed me to this FTB thread http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/some-questions-about-setting-up-a-htgr-from-reactorcraft.59572/. Following your advice on "How much of a logical leap is it really to just make it bigger?!" I built a massive 343 cores (7x7x7) reactor and it didn't produce any steam whatsoever. Then i changed the design back to the 3x3x5 but instead of surronding it in heat exchangers i put a single row in the middle of the reactor, and it easily powered 2 low pressure turbines. I think powering 2 LPTs with only 40 pebble bed reactors is a good trade, they are fairly cheap and aren't as risk as a normal/breeder fission reactor.

So thanks for your help, now i can have a functioning and awsome reactor powering my base instead of an array of 12 gas turbines + rotation dynamos

Uploading pictures seem a bit buggy on the forum, but here are some screenshots

EDIT: well, after building my first reactor in survival I have a couple questions: It lowers the power output by a few MWs during night time, can i do anything about it? Also, the turbines now require lubricant and a lot of it, IIRC in monster they didn't require any lube right? So i'm having trouble with canola seeds automation, MFR farms don't seem to work with them. What's the best/easier way to automate large scale lube production?

You have a large uniform block of heat sources, and the only heat transfer happens at the periphery.

You can, but then the engine will not work.

Not even close.

Quote from AnrDaemon»

Shouldn't these blocks be hidden from NEI, or at least appropriately labeled?

I do hide them from NEI.

In lua, you can return multiple values at a time, not just one. This is different from returning a table that contains other values, since the table itself is only one variable. Lua's tables act slightly differently from java's arrays, so I can only guess that returning a java array through the CC API will automatically convert it into multiple separate values; unless you manually convert it into a lua table before returning it.

Ok, just for double-checking's sake. The AOBD/RoC bug can be fixed by setting "B:RotaryCraft=true" to "B:RotaryCraft=false", correct?

Yes.

Quote from Reika»

Yes.

Not to contradict Reika, but this only fixed some extractor recipes, then broke others instead. AOBD is not behaving well with RoC. I had to completely disable it in my pack.
