Came for a mod tutorial, left with a new understanding of nuclear thermo-dynamics.

this is the mother of explosions if not used properly

So its like a nuclear reactor, perfectly safe unless someone Fuges up.

Five years on, this is now the best resource for learning how this thing worked in 1.7.10. Thanks!

Thanks! Built it 30000 blocks from my base!

To be fair, when these are sabotaged the explosion is immense, like, server crashingly immense. Im not surprised they aren't used more often.

IMPORTANT!! One quick note on the chaos element and fuel longevity: I said in the video that it was not a tangible resource but this is not the case. Once you power down the reactor after running it for an extended period of time, you will need to eject chaos fragments out of the reactor in order to make room for new fuel. Also, the CC program stated that I had over 99% of fuel in the reactor but this also turned out not to be true. Once the conversion levels rise around 80-90% (as explained in the video), you'll NEED to refuel or risk an explosion. The "remaining fuel" gauge on the CC program interface is NOT an indication of how long the reactor can still safely run so DO NOT TRUST THIS. Refer to the fuel conversion ratio inside the reactor's GUI to accurately measure the time remaining on your fuel. In this example, my high output (very inefficient reactor) was only able to last a little over two weeks before a refuel was needed. Lower-output reactors that are more efficient will last longer.

Me: “Oh don’t worry the reactor is perfectly saf-“ *BOOM.*

23:23 The base =O 29:59 The sample explosion

I see that you used the deep dark portals for representing the chaos. They have a suprisingly good looking texture side by side

I love the fact that you included the explosion at the end! That was quite a hole it made. Would be an OP use as TNT but a bit pricey lol. Also Thank you so much for the tutorials. Always well explained and nice n neat set ups. Although some of these are a bit outdated and the mod developers threw us a few curveballs by changing some of the required blocks and machines used in the tutorials so I had to find a way around those. For example the wither boss farm and autonomous activators which no longer seem to exist. I ended up going old school and just using dispensers, so it is semi automatic by manually flipping a lever, which I probably could build a timer and automate :)

awesome tutorial captain! Got my reactor all hooked up and it's so great!

Absolutely fantastic tutorial as you usually do! Love it.

It's interesting that the safest place to be inside the blast radius appears to be _directly beneath the explosing reactor_

Thank you for Explaining it in such a professional way!

I looked over the code of the program and spottet a possible mistake, fuelPercent = 100 - math.ceil(ri.fuelConversion / ri.maxFuelConversion * 100)*.01 why ist there a "*.01" this messes up the actual fuel left so in this case u didn't use 0.77% fuel but rather 77% fuel, this would also make sense with the actual reactor numbers as shown in the interface.

I have no idea whats going on as I'm nowhere near that stage in skyblock but this was a high quality video. Wishing all tutorials were this good.

awesome tutorial on how to use drmon! i linked this video in the readme and gave a shot out to your channel

I like how the core looks like the reactor of the combine from HL2 EP1

I can hear reactorcraft laughing in the background.

As I was thinking: You guys, are THE BEST EVER! Please! Make the tutorial that I was looking for: How to make a Self-sustaining Fusion Reactor from ReactorCraft! It, also, produces a ridiculous amount of power. Almost the same amount seen in this video.

Thx you saved my base, impressed my friends and gave me unlimited power. your awsome

You know what, nevermind. This stuff is way too complex for me. I'll stick to Big Reactors instead.

Would love to see more about new 1.10 mods whenever you get around to it (if it ever happens), like refined storage and updated Ender IO.

That lucky Village at the end

I get to play Minecraft for the first time in 4 months in Monday! (Joined the army) I can't wait to give this mood a try

Thank you for blowing it up ,now i know how far away to build this thing from my base. would you mind posting a block count in a cardenal direction of the blast radius ,it looked to be about 50-60 blocks from center.

Me: finally I complete my core Friend: has joined the Game Friend: MELTDOWN!!! Me: left the game

I feel like joining an FTB Revelation SMP and then being an evil villain who taxes everyone on the server and then making this reactor on it just to overload it after watching this.

i love these guys' intro :)

I would love to know the hard math behind this reactor.

Thank you for the google slide class presentation

beautiful tutorial 👌

I need help with the field strength. I turn the reactor on and the strength just keeps dropping and when it hits 15% it charges again. I don't know how to get the field to stay a 50%

This is a good tutorial, but i feel it lacks in actually showing the whole setup process. Currently, I have set this up in a Server and the automatic mode for the RF Input is failing. Which causing the Field Strength to drain to 15%. Which causes the CC program to use a fail safe.

Ty for tutorial it is insane !

From the future i can safely say its going to get more awesome

It might be safe but blowing them up is the most awesome explosion I’ve seen in minecraft so far

Hey, I know this may sound odd, but what happens if you are playing this on skyblock and don't have computercraft as part of the mod pack? How would you balance out the input output with just the flux gates DE provides? Because when i just use the Flux gates, the Shield energy input keeps going down.

nice job on this tutorial

I'd try making an auto-refueling system that auto-prevents it from exploding.

I love how you say it's perfectly safe only if you show us a clip of you blowing it up later in the video

well my 10TH reactor just blow up

Do you have a video that shows the placement of each block of the reactor being built ? I am trying to follow what you have, but I am not sure how some of the blocks get placed just from looking at the set up already completed. Mainly the flux gate and the tesseracts

i wanna see the video where hes like "so i blew up my server" lol

I am curious about the times of a reactor going from perfectly safe to the explosion as a form of self-destruction system. Say you have your base set up to where you absolutely do not want a faction to take hold of the station. One method of avoiding the enemy from capturing the base and such a high-end reactor would be to set an automated system to detonate the reactor. Would you happen to know the times to go from safe to detonation?

For anyone playing 1.7.10 ftb infinity evolved (3.0.2) and having an issue with keeping the Field Strength at 50% this is how we did it. i.imgur.com/vOdmLtF.png basically remove the bottom tesseract and link with cryo fluxduct. Don't know if there is an issue with how gates react with tesseracts now but this seemed to fix it for us.

In my private server, I only fuel my reactor to about 50% awakened draconium but it tends to become unstable at 3.26M rf/t and I have 3 of them so I think it's safe to have many of these

Huh. Totally forgot that most reactors actually only go up in heat due to acceleration rate of power output, not due to how much power is generating.

I feel like this just doesnt belong in minecraft, such a complicated chaotic thing, it could blow up and boom goodbye everything you ever loved (I love it)

Nice resource pack switch at 13:47

Oh btw, in 1.10, the reactor itself does have an option to SCRAM when it ether is about to explode, the Energy Saturation reaches 99%, or the fuel decreases to an unstable level. Plus, it has a ultimate failsafe where it hardwires it's generation to it's containment field and gives you time to stuff your disks into a strongbox and vanish before firey, pyrotheum filled crater.

made a redstone version of the computer craft program, testing for stability now

19:01 it says: "Increased containment field load" so the containment field should be weaker, since it now has to support a heavier load. So why is the containment arrow going up?

I know I’m a tad late for this video, but is this still viable on a laggy server? In the event of a server crash can all the safety functions enable?

I'm having trouble with 2 things. 1. My tesseracts are set to their respective frequencies but when I scroll over them the GUI says frequency 0, but when I open it it says set to frequency 2. And then when i activate my reactor the rf/t slowly falls until it hits 1 rf/t, do I need to adjust my flux gates for that?

NOTE: IF YOUR DRACONIC REACTOR LOOKS LIKE A SUN THEN YOU HAVE AN UPDATED REACTOR The computer program is made for the older reactor

that video was very helpful, but the one thing i didnt quite understood was the conversion level

I have a question with a little explanation first. I had built your reactor the way you showed, but the RF/t is constatnly going down, not up. Any idea why?

which gui mod are you using that shows you information about what are looking at?

Very helpfull... thanks

When I click charge reactor nothing happens and it stays in the charging state can you help me Edit - figured it out apparently I just had to make the whole computer craft thing on the east reactor stabilizer

thank you ill defiantly build one in my baes

When I write '> startup' advanced computer shows me 'No such program'. What can I do to repair this? Do you know what am I doing wrong? Please help.

For the computercraft program use this updated fork instead : github.com/Sirnut/drmon

I'm doing this set up and for some reason my Field Strength is staying around 80% any reason why?

this helped alot

This is like a perpetual motion machine. You take out more than what you put in

that armour belongs on the badass king of kickassia

THE POWER OF THE SUN IN THE PALM OF MY HAND!

11:46 and that's really BADASS

Oooooo a stabilizer! I’ll take that (Fallout series starts)

Took me ages to get it up and running at a good capacity. Lot's of daily tweaking. (As I am dumb and couldn't figure out a good auto regulation method.Computercraft, etc.)

What are the specs for your pc? It seems to run very nicely on your computer do you use optifine? Or what's your trick?

One simple question. Can the bottom injector get power from I/O energy crystals? I tried to connect it the same way as I did with the fusion crafting injectors but it refuses to accept any power. I don't know if the link is broken or if this particular power conduct is not supported.

Do you have a link to your Texture Pack and what Minimap do you use? I realy like the border, would like to use it too in my game ^-^ Would be awesome to have those links

Can I have a list of the mods you used with the Draconic Evolution mod? So that I may use them as well? Would love you long time.

although playing on a factions server this goes from energy gen too nuclear bomb! able too devastate multi BILLION dollar bases in a matter of moments.

Is the computercraft program specific to mc 1.7.10 or can it be used in newer versions of Minecraft?

You can use a draconic reactor as long as it has a containment field strength 1% or higher so you can run it at 1%

SO I know the cycle, but I am still a bit confused on how you make the saturation level go lower. Could you further explain that?

What mod adds those screen sign things in the intro?

I don’t have all of the blocks he is using, what are the mods that you are using so I can make this?

I have a problem, so when i testsed this in 1.12.2 it said "startup:178: attempt to concatenate string and boolean" so i was wondering if there is a pix for this?

Can you please show us how to do that reactor without camera cuts?

if i download draconic evolution i dont get all the items needed, do i need a extra mod or something?

com-pa-ra-tor, other than that great video man :D

Which one is more resource-efficient/ easier to make, draconic reactor or nuclearcraft fusion reactor at max size?

How hard would it be to automate the energy output amount with computercraft? Like increaee the output amount if the heat is low/saturation is high

Need a short answer about the working of the reactor from anyone who ever used it, even in creative! We just reached the point on our server to begin contemplating should we try to build one. The facts we know: -it need awakened draconium blocks as fuel, which cannot be automatically produced as far as we know -then it produces ludicrous amounts of power The question is: is this reactor only does this? I mean if it makes chaos shards as a byproduct, or makes a magic field which helps, or something like that, then it _may_ have some meaning. But for getting a lot of energy, even IC2 reactor is safer, and can be automated. If you have time to answer this, thanks!

So does that means when the containment field strength goes to 0% The reactor will explode?

I can't figure out how to get power into the flux gate that supplies power to the energy injector, i have a tesseract just like the video shows but no power flowing from it to the flux gate. I did take the tesseract off and hook it to something else and power was flowing just fine, just not to the flux gate--what am i missing?? Also i don't have any display coming up on the advanced monitor. How do you turn that on?

could you do some computer craft tutorials please, I want to learn it

The field continuously keep decreasing... do you know what the problem can be? and what mode on the injector and stabilizers?

the draconic fuel is a finite ressource no ? And what do you do if you want to remove your reactor without make everything blow up ?

So. quick question. is infinity evolved expert mode any different then the normal mod because aside from taking almost 10 minutes to charge, after it charged, the containment field immediately dropped to 0 and blew up. pls help

If someone still has the problem with a blinking monitor (like me), you can edit the programm to rise the sleep time between the screenupdates. All you have to do is: 1) If your reactor is online -> shut it down!! 2) right click the advanced computer running the program, then press and hold "ctrl + T" until the program is terminated. 3) now, you can type: "edit startup" and scroll down to the end of the file, where you can find the "sleep (0.1)" command. Edit this value to 0.5 4) press "ctrl" to enter the menu, save the file, exit the editor and restart the program by typing "startup" into the console 5) Enjoy a non-blinking monitor :) I can not guarantee this as a solution for everyone, but it was a good solution for me.

I added a Scram button to the flux gate. When i press it the gate is going to stop being powered so it will immediately bump up the saturation to over 7O%

The one on my map melted down. Now half my map is missing. That was a heck of an explosion though.

So how long can I let it run without giving in new fuel? Does it shut down automatically if the fuel conversion level gets too high?
