#Factorio nuclear reactor blueprint plus

Nuclear reactorДЄnd feed the output of the kovarex back before the priority splitter so it goes through the splitter again and put a priority input for that so the kovarex output gets emptied first.ДЄlso don't forget to use a filter inserters to get the output from the kovarex to have the same ores on the same sides on the belt as the input. Use that output for kovarex and the other for the other things. The easy way without circuits is to have a belt with one side rare and one side normal ore and put a splitter that prioritizes one output. I haven't played factorio in a while but as far as I remember it doesn't need circuits. So is there anyone who can supply me with a good blueprint? I'm not good with circuit networks, and it looks like I'll need to use some of it to get it working correctly. Going to be getting to Nuclear power soon in my factory and while I've done it before, I haven't tried the Kovarex Enrichment yet. Global Achievements.Д«ramblestar View Profile View Posts. As to the mechanism that loads fuel cells into reactors I came up with an idea of my own.Home Discussions Workshop Market Broadcasts. You're still saving up for Kovarex, right?Д¬ircuit networks to the rescue! Showing 1 - 15 of 25 comments. You don't want to create fuel cells before you need them.

You need to get the fuel to load in all of them at the same time. There are a couple of issues: To get the neighbor bonus, all of the reactors need to run simultaneously. The final big challenge here is to automate fuel loading. There are pumps between my rows of tanks, all pointing north: since the turbines are up there, you want to make sure that steam doesn't pool at the bottom when you need it up top.

That's 40 tanks, plus some wiggle room if you want to run the reactors before the steam reserve gets empty. This seems to be the sweet spot-it's a huge improvement on a lone reactor or 1x2 reactor, but diminishing returns kick in hard above 2x2.ДЄ 4x2 setup produces 28 reactors of output A single burn from 4 reactors would produce almost 1M steam by my above calculations. A 2x2 reactor setup gets 3x neighbor bonuses on each reactor, giving you 12 reactors worth of output. Observation 2: there's no reason not to go big. A lot of this actually rolls in after the fuel stops burning-the heat exchangers keep making steam and drawing heat until everything is back to degrees. Some simple testing showed I could get a bit more than 80, steam 4 tanks worth from the burn of a single fuel cell in a warmed up lone reactor. Nuclear reactors, heat pipes, heat exchangers, and steam don't cool down below degrees, so no energy gets lost and the setup starts producing energy immediately once you restock the fuel. This has a pretty simple solution: store steam in tanks. You can get the efficiency of a large installation with the demands of a small one, and only burn new fuel when your energy bank is low. Observation 1: if you can bank the energy from a fuel burn, you can build a large plant and only consume the fuel you need. With a couple of key observations, I made it work. Since I still want to save the precious U for Kovarex as soon as I get enough, though, I wanted a setup that would get a good exchange rate for the U Since nuclear reactors burn fuel at a constant rate regardless of consumption, this took a bit of planning. Once I was running out of coal patches within easy belting distance, I decided I'd rather jump to nuclear than build a dedicated coal train for power. However, I found that once I was burning MW reliably, keeping boilers stocked with coal started getting tiresome. Some folks suggest that you shouldn't start burning U until you have Kovarex enrichment and enough U to get it rolling. Spent a couple days testing, planning, and crafting this power plant.ДЇinally got it working, and I thought I'd share. Advanced Circuits.Home Discussions Workshop Market Broadcasts.
