Each exchanger produces enough steam for 1.7 turbines on average, or 103 steam/s at full load dumped into pipes. Putting a turbine immediately after a heat exchange reduces pressure to 43 steam/s dumped into pipes. A line of pipes can only withstand so much steam per second, depending on distance. If you want smaller designs with 4, 3, 2 or 1 ...Now on to the tests: no mods at all, energy interface setup for 10GW load and 2 infinity chest to either get rid of or provide fuel cells. 2x2 was only one with roboports and had 150 bots to play around with. 5.5GW reactor was the worst. 2x2 was better. 2xn was either same as 2x2 or slightly better.A powered nuclear reactor outputs 40 megawatts of heat, plus an additional 40 megawatts for each powered nuclear reactor directly adjacent to it. (100% neighbor bonus per adjacent reactor). A perfect square of reactors has the highest theoretical efficiency, but at 3x3 and above you'll have reactors surrounded on all 4 sides and have no way to ...Sep 28, 2022 · Use the 2 reactors as anchor: they must overlap the 2 south reactors from the reactor blueprint. If you want to add another field, add another "Reactor 2x6" field to the north. No supply blueprint. It's only required once for a whole tiled setup. To start the reactors, disable or remove the constant combinator south outside of the reactors.Set up the arithmetic combinator: Setting the input to petroleum Gas + 0 (the constant 0 not the signal 0) Set the output to the pink signal (on the bottom row of the last tab of signals.) Set up the lamp: Select the "Use colors" check box on the lamp. Set the condition to the pink signal, and what value you want (i.e. > 100)Realistic Reactors. Add realistic nuclear reactors including a breeder reactor type and cooling tower. The reactors must be controlled through integrated circuit interface signals. The thermal energy output is dynamic and depends on reactor core temperature. The reactors require sophisticated designs of their cooling system and heat-pipe network.Stats:The setup features four reactors with the ocd-friendly ratio 4:48:84:6 in reactors : heat exchangers : turbines : pumps (optimal would be 4:48:83:5), generating 480MW. Core Functionality: Each reactor contains a maximum of two fuel cells at any time to make sure we are not wasting any fuel. There are enough tanks to take all the gas the ...The 2.4 GW switch doesn't actually need to be toggled, just the combinator marked POWER SWITCH. This is to prevent early feeds during construction and to give a way to stop the feed arms should you need to. You are also correct that it checks for a minimum steam level before triggering the reactor burn.Setup: You have to connect a single steam tank, and the inserters managing the reactors, to the green wire network which is on the power poles. There are 4 reactors here, but it produces enough fuel rods to continuously supply up to 9 reactors, if I remember right. (8 reactors is ~16.7% more fuel efficient than 4, as long as you have enough ...Community-run subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. ... Members Online • samnrad . If you preheat the water going into a nuclear setup using a boiler, does that mean the reactor spends less time on startup heating the water, and thus uses less energy to get the water to optimal temperature, saving a little nuclear fuel ...Find blueprints for the video game Factorio.

It's capable of starting and continues operation under constant load, but due to the water requirement requires pumps evey 6 pipes to keep it fully operational. (built in and tested in Blueprint Snadboxes mod) Single module of the reactor produces 1,12GW.Nuclear power is great but IMO the research is too expensive for a normal game's first rocket. It begins to truly shines in the early stages of post-rocket Factorio (and is also great for expensive modes). Nuclear is a compact energy source that scales quickly. It's perfect for taking care of the sudden energy spike of beacons and large scale bots.Re: 20GW Nuclear Reactor Design. by mrvn » Thu Jul 13, 2017 9:35 am. In my own design I used an underground pipe between the heat exchangers and the steam turbines with pumps at both ends. This allows the unbotteling assembler to be placed between the two. No need for pumps for water at all.Playing around in creative mode and made a small 40 MW reactor setup with the water being fed from the middle of the pad. Would need to be fed by a train stop or logistics network for fuel cells which could also remove the need for the roboport on the pad itself. Circuit controlled to not insert more fuel while the tanks still have a reserve.It's a 100% efficient design: spent fuel stays in the reactors until steam drops below a threshold. The inserters removing the spent cells send a pulse to the fresh fuel cell inserters, which insert exactly one new cell into each reactor simultaneously to maximize the adjacency bonus.The reason to use 12 beacon setup is UPS optimization. Beacons is only active 1/120 ticks so the CPU draw is marginal so if you can speed up the assemblers so you need less of them it's a win. ... Saving power in late game factorio is pretty much pointless. Just build more solar panels, or nuclear reactors.

Furthermore, the atomic bomb will permanently destroy cliffs and decoratives in a 9-14 tile radius around the center. History. 1.0.0: New visual effects for the atomic bomb. 0.15.0 ...Nuclear 7.05 GW. Four 2x6 nuclear reactors in a 6x6 chunk layout. Constant Combinator in upper left corner deactivates power during setup. At full power, this requires just under 2 Fuel Reprocessing centrifuges with 2x Speed 3 (and no beacons).Now since recent changes 3/4 of my 140 turbines are getting no performance due to the heat lacking on the pipes. So my question is has anyone built an 8 reactor setup which is efficient with the new heat pipe changes, because I would love not to put down this broken BP again and have another wasted 3/4 turbines doing nothing.This design is based on the 6 reactors/ 80 heat exchangers/ 138 steam turbines from the factorio nuclear reactor wiki. Each heat exchanger has its own dedicated row of storage tanks and steam turbine(s). Each row has a starting storage tank for steam coming directly off the heat exchanger. ... This setup allows for maximum steam flow ...Smart: insert fuel only when steam storage is low, no waste. Compact: the full 4 core plant is one of the more compact design. Setup: After connecting water, setting up fuel with belt, you need to manually insert 1 fuel into each reactor core to kickstart the plant. I didn't implement more complicate logics so this can be combinator-free.Find blueprints for the video game Factorio. Share your designs. Search the tags for mining, smelting, and advanced production blueprints.Ratio Math for 12 Nuclear Reactors, 16 equal sections of: 1 Offshore Pump supplies 11 Heat Exchangers fully 11 Heat Exchangers make 1,133.99 steam per secondThe slice blueprint is setup so that it adds heat exchangers and turbines to the "previous" reactors, adding 4 exchangers and 9 turbines to the last "line". That way, the center reactors become paired to 16 exchangers and 27.5 turbines each, while the end reactors are still paired with 12 exchangers and 21.5 turbines.Mega Nuclear Reactor. This is a large nuclear reactor for end game energy requirements which produces 3.9 gigawatts (sustained). It is a golden ratio of reactors to heat exchangers and steam turbines and is tile-able (although expensive) as it is a symmetrical square. The water input pipes reach out on all 4 sides so be sure to plan accordingly ...Uranium-235 is, along with uranium-238, one of the refined products of uranium ore. It is used in the production of nuclear fuels and the atomic bomb. Uranium-235 is produced through uranium processing in a centrifuge, or through the Kovarex enrichment process .

The 4 chest signal 4 states: 1) steam is low. 2) all reactors have at least one fuel ready. 3) insert fuel (kind of a dummy state but 4 chests form a circle) 4) spend fuel removed from all reactors.Nuclear fuel. Nuclear fuel is a type of fuel. It has the highest energy density and vehicle bonuses of all the fuel types, providing an acceleration modifier of 250% (compared to rocket fuel 's 180%). The vehicle top speed modifier (115%) is the same as for rocket fuel. Nuclear fuel is made from rocket fuel and uranium-235, one of each to ...Smart nuclear needs second tank for water. And pump to top water. And combinator to convert steam signal to water signal. So two tanks, combinator and pump connected with same color wire and pump works, adding more water, when steam+water is less than 20k.Re: 20GW Nuclear Reactor Design. by mrvn » Thu Jul 13, 2017 9:35 am. In my own design I used an underground pipe between the heat exchangers and the steam turbines with pumps at both ends. This allows the unbotteling assembler to be placed between the two. No need for pumps for water at all.Nice looking 16 Reactors Setup. It can work at 2.5 GW for nearly entire hour then it drops at 2.4-2.3 GW (Game can't decide is it 2,4 either 2.3 GW). It took me 6 hours o_0. Entire powerplant. Of course if you want it to look like it /\ you must do it manually. I didnt use any circuts (Becasue I can't :P) so fell free to upgrade this blueprint ;)Nuclear setup for dummies. Question. Greetings! Could you help out a nuclear power noob? I've set up a nuclear power setup by using the factorio wiki's tutorial for ratios. …cursedTinker. • 2 yr. ago. the FTB IC nuclear reactors are a callback to how IndustrialCraft did their nuclear reactors. Basically, you have to use the extra reactor components to try and balance the heat output of your reactor or risk having fail catastrophically. Luckily, this version has a ? button in the top of the UI that, if you click ...Tekky wrote:Currently, in order to manage the reactor efficiently, I would have to setup a timer using the circuit network in order to prevent feeding additional fuel to the reactor and to determine when it is time to feed the reactor with more fuel.If my (unverified) calculations are correct, a reactor requires a new unit of fuel every 200 seconds and I should never feed it more fuel ...Each exchanger produces enough steam for 1.7 turbines on average, or 103 steam/s at full load dumped into pipes.

If all that circuitry is for inserting fuel cells when steam is low you can just wire the output inserter to the steam and enable it when steam is low. Wire the input inserter to the output inserter and enable it when the ...Factorio added nuclear power in version 0.15 and completely changed the overall strategy for the game. Nuclear power requires a higher level than most other power sources; it also provides a lot ...The reactors will normally burn fuel at a steady rate regardless of power consumption. So, they'll waste unused fuel. In this setup however, tanks buffer that unused fuel (in the form of steam) until the factory needs it. The reactors are wired to only burn more fuel when the steam gets low. This avoids wasting the expensive fuel cells.I recently built a nuclear power plant with four reactors in a 2x2 configuration. I was using the ratios of reactors to exchangers to turbines described in the wiki and I had the whole thing set up so that you could flip a switch and activate reactors sequentially, with the correct number of exchangers and turbines engaging for each subsequent reactor.Hi i am Linktothepast83 and in this video i show a 2x8 Nuclear Power that is outputting 2,4 GW constantly even under extreme loading conditions. It uses pressurized water pipes to feed the heat exchangers with water making it possible to be somewhat tilable (small modifications are needed) without being overly elongated and stretched due to ...Nuclear Emergency Backup Power/No Fuel Cell Waste. by Tiny Rick » Fri Jun 02, 2017 3:51 am. So, I'm a new player to Factorio, and I've been tinkering with an emergency backup nuclear power supply for my existing 30MW solar power farm. I would like some input on my current nuclear setup. It's probably not very optimal, and there is definitely ...The video is sped up 5x since as it starts exploding frame rate drops to 1fps. The reactors are fueled by 2 trains with 161 fluid wagons each. It can transport 4M water. Each train has 8+8 locomotives. That is why you build your nuclear power near water.Nuclear power is insanely good, better than I was expecting. One reactor with enough steam storage with daytime solar power can run like 70 mw or something at night (a complete guess btw). Currently at two reactors and can easily run 250 mw at night with no accumulators or other energy sources.1.1 GW is the max you can get out of 8 cores. The middle four have a neighbor bonus of 3 so they generate 160MW. The 4 reactors at the ends each have a bonus of 2 so they generate 120MW. 4 120 + 4 160 = 1120MW ≈ 1.1GW. The rest of the design is just a matter of pushing enough steam around to actually get that much power.Once you have a decent Kovarex setup your worries disappear. All i have is 1 assembler making Uranium Fuel Cells for 3x 1GW Nuclear Plants (BP found on this reddit for an 8x Reactor setup = 1GW each, finding big enough lakes to build it in without a water tile mod is the biggest challenge).Nuclear reactor has low temperature. Hello fellow engineers! I have some trouble with my reactor setup. Reactor is at about 529 degrees (Celsius) suddenly. I do not get why. It worked fine for about 10 in game hours until now. It has plenty of fuel and my heat exchanger are receiving enough water. Now the reactor cannot heat up the heat pipes ...Design / Blueprint. And a final compact nuclear reactor, this time 2x3 : Compact, (almost) symmetrical, nicely rectangular (about 60x70) Substations on the outsides for tileability. reactor logic / logistics at the bottom, water intake at the top (so you can build it away from a lake) all inlets are separate connectors to 8 exchangers each, so ...The inserter will complete the full swing even after the pulse is complete, so you'll get just one item transferred. Specifically for reactors, insert a fuel cell only when the old one is burned up. There's no "simple" way to do this; you have to have an external circuit producing a pulse every 200 seconds.Compact 4.8 GW Nuclear Reactor. by Lisp Wizard » Sun Jul 16, 2017 1:17 pm. You all know the problem: You absolutely, positively need to power your 26.000 electric furnaces or 10.000 beacons, yet most nuclear setups are ugly 2xN tubes, powered by thousands of robots, so you fall back to solar energy and spend the next months paving the whole ...So a single offshore pump can only pump 1200 water/second. A basic 2x2 nuclear power plant built to ratio needs 5 offshore pumps to operate at full capacity. While you can theoretically combine all 5 of these offshore pumps in to one pipe with lots of pumps, it is a much easier problem to simply feed your nuclear power plant water from 5 ...Prototype type. technology.

As such, it doesn't require bots for operation and will moderate fuel cell insertion while storing excess energy as steam. Fuel goes in on the bottom belt, and spent fuel returns on the top belt. The plant will need to be manually started with a single fuel placed in each reactor.The only problem is that you generally want at least two reactors in contact with each other because of the way they share/increase heat. I forget the exact ratio but two reactors together produce something like 2.7 times the power of a single reactor. Double each. So 4 times total.160MW Nuclear Setup, no waste w/ minimal storage tanks. by BlakeMW » Thu May 25, 2017 4:17 pm.
