7 years later this video still gets the job done
Fr
exactly
Actually tho
Yes
Well that's great to hear! I checked the comments to see if there were any big changes confusing people who just found this video recently, so I'm glad to see it's still a good resource.
This was an extremely helpful tutorial. Even after 3 years, I keep coming back to this one when I forget how to mess with this mod. Extremely good job, my friend.
I was roving around Minecraft videos in CZcams and stumbled over you. Keep up the great work. Its good to meet a fellow active CZcamsr.
All the best.
+Minecraft - Avo's Journey thanks - you, too. Stay savvy (and poised) :D
ha - you too my friend :)
@@TheMindCrafters what version of mc?
Nvm I found it
@@TheMindCrafters meet eachother now
Hands down the best video on the topic. Thank you so much for this video. I have just gotten to this point in my Crash Landing modpack playthrough, and I needed this info. Well presented, well spoken, clearly explained, awesome.
after seven years this video is still absolutely amazing!
This is EXACTLY the detailed look at Big Reactors that I have been searching for. Thank you!
This tutorial was amazing!!! You clearly did all of your research and made sure you had a firm understanding on this mod ahead of time. After the 20 minute mark I realized 1. "wow i have been watching this for 20 minutes" and 2. "wow i am still really enjoying and learning this after 20 mins!!!" I am subscribing, liking, and favoriting for reference!!!
An in-depth, to the point, tutorial that tells me everything I need to know for someone who is just starting Big Reactors. Hats off to you.
The fuel rods need to be touching each other so the core radiation is higher so you produce more energy so the checkerboard pattern isn’t the go to pattern for the fuel rods

Big turbines, epic power!
i was wondering with this mod could it be possible to make a breeding reactor?
legofreak88884444
what do they do.
legofreak88884444
Sort of - the waste product is an ingredient in Blutonium, which is needed to make turbines for actively cooled reactors. But that is as far as it goes.
ExtremeGamer9951 create gynormus amounts of power
Noah Calland
But how do they differ from non breeder reactors.
Great video. Full explanations with good visuals and very little wasted time to weed through. If all MC videos were this well done we'd all be experts.
One of the most helpful and easy to follow tutorials for this mod! Just started galactic craft and I can't wait to use this!
Sir, you are awesome! Very well explained in depth. Also you have a nice voice so I could make it to the end. :)
I personally like the unnecessary.........pauses....in.....his......instructions. It's like Walken without the accent.
Improvement: 5-2 length blades, 37 enderium in a 7x7x12 turbine at max
steam gives .2% increase in power and takes up 45% less blocks.
This is a very useful tutorial for getting these things to run. I was having trouble figuring out exactly how to get these things going, and ended up figuring out how to optimize the reactor.
Its been 6 years, but this is super helpful. Bloody legend.
Still valid 9 years later
Thank you, as always clearly explained. I love your guides!
The most concise and useful explanation I've yet seen of a complex, involved mod. Very well done, and thank you very much. :)
One of the best intros I have ever seen. GREAT JOB!! props to you!
The spreadsheet is down. Can you reupload, please? I'd like to optimize my turbine and there's no way to find out which material has which efficiency.
I think you can use like ludicrite or if you prefer à Pink stuff buuuut...
I Never tried it but i have seen it everywhere
awesome !
sjovt at ingen af dine fanboys er gået amok endnu.
This is a great tutorial. Clear, concise explanations done quickly but clearly. Thank you :)
Excellent tutorial, nicely explained. I've wanted to use this mod for a while and this has given me the push I needed. Thanks.
:D
+The MindCrafters i would recomend not using any iron stuff in that reactor it will just smelt and well thing go blow up and murder people and make strange 20 leg monster things with 5 heads and 10 tails and 90 eyes and 200 ears and other things
how do you get out the power from the turbine?
love your intro
:D
Than you this was so very helpful
No, than you.
@Hendogon hello :D
Glad that even 2 years later alot of this information is still relevant. Thanks!
Lilcomet Psn still relevant even 4 years later
I was about to say that@@sparklelord2726
Sparkle Lord make that 5
Thanks. I didn't pay attention to most of the video but i got enough information and it appeared you knew what you were talking about and you spoke clearly. Nicely done.
just finished my passive reactor and also the turbine, both seem to be working ok but even with ender pump i still don't seem to be able to fill both the turbine and the reactor with water so it only spins up to about 1350RPM, its a 5 core reactor and same width you did in this video but a few blocks longer if you get what i mean. my core is also at +3000c and fuel usage is massive compared to the liquid cooled reactor this just isn't good enough to justify using the turbine.
Great video BTW you have helped me no end
You can configure turbine drag to be much lower, and turbine power gen to be higher
Just go to .minecraft>configs>big reactors
Hope this helps.
There is a much better way to build these systems, firstly building the reactor right next to the turbine, I can not over state how much more efficient this is. The reason turbines require so much water is because any excess water not removed from the turbine is lost. The turbine will use the steam, and then turn the steam back to water 1 for 1, if you don't extract that water fast enough it gets lost, so the limiting factor becomes how fast other mods can move the water.
Edit: I should note I'm using version 0.3.3A which comes with Agrarian Skies 2.1.6.
By building the turbine directly next to the reactor you create a closed loop system, so you only need to fill it once, this is because the flow of the steam and water between the two is done instantly. To give an idea, I have a reactor 5x5x4 (this includes the case), with 5 columns of 2 fuel rods, so 10, with this setup, 4 rods are set to 20%, and one to 10%, it creates and transfers 2000mB/t of steam off one Aqueous Accumulator with one Fluiduct.
I'm in the process of testing a vertical turbine (vertical turbines are not limited by size so far as I can tell) to find out how much power I can get out of it, current setup is 20x4 blades, and 8x5 Shiny Blocks for coils, at time of posting, 1750 RPM and rising, 17200 RF/t.
Finding a good way to generate enough water was the main thing holding me back, so this is interesting! So you just have the ports that connect the two machines directly against each other with no piping in-between?
Venatius Eye 2 ports on each machine directly connected to each other, make sure the input and output are the right way, so blue connects to blue and red to red if I remember right. You'll also need 1 more import port on the reactor to get the initial water in there.
Interesting! I may have to give that a try, if that would avoid having to futz around with tesseracts and the like. My reactor might be too large to work with this setup, but it's worth an experimental try.
I found that a 5x5x4 reactor, with 10 full rods, configured in a grid with the north, south, easy and west faces having some sort of coolant, generated 2000 stream per tick. It's worth noting this was hair line, and I did encounter the reactor getting too cool (might be effected by biome) and not being able to produce 2000 any more, the fix was just to reduce the passive cooling.
Do you mean that the reactor and the turbine should be touching eachother (and have the steam output port of the reactor touch the steam input port of the turbine, and same with the water), or do I need 1 block of space between them?
This is a great video! I was looking for something to supplement my power setup because Ender IO wasn't cutting it, and setting up IE Biodiesel has been a major pain, and Big Reactors is it! Thanks for the informative tutorial!
Probably the best tutorial on big reactors on youtube
19:27 "Reactor Coolant Porn"
awesome vid!
does it make sense to power the turbine with a railcraft boiler?
Yes
10 years later this video is still amazing
Best freaking tutorial on Reactors i saw, thank you ALOT.
Your tutorials are the best on CZcams, period, full stop.
The lengthy preparation you invest in these videos is obvious, and makes for perfect pacing. You present a ton of information quickly, intelligently, and without a single "uhm" or "uhh".
That your tutorials and spotlights get fewer views than the big-leaguers' like Direwolf20, Ako, etc. is simply unfair. Don't get me wrong, they do fantastic work and I love watching both of them, but when it comes to a crash course on the mechanics of a new mod and how to get the most out of it, your trim, polished videos are second to none.
Definite new subscriber here, and I'll make the rounds on reddit posting links to the next tutorial you put out to try and get you some much-deserved exposure!
Don't forget to hit us up on FB or IRC, were generally pretty easy to get a hold of in person :)

"Cold Snowman Stuff" xD
The best mod tutorial I've ever watched
Dude, your intro is the bomb, absolutely one of the best/original, that I've seen!
Zachary Dieterich thanks!
0:10 "MindFactory Reloaded" LOL
What wire do I use to connect the reactor to other machines
try kinesis pipes from buildcraft
Try energy conduits from enderio. Or a tesseract to teleport the RF.
Only tutorial i have watch and only tutorial i will have ever watched, great job!
Love the tutorial, fun to watch and informative everything i could of hoped
THANK YOU!
diamond blocks are the best at keeping it cool.
Wut? This really works or just joke?
((Yep i'm newbie on reactors))
あかつきレヴィ yes that real till this day
Actually, gelid cryotheum is the best but is also the hardest to get and place down. Diamond blocks are the easiest to implement since they are just blocks, so you can just use a building wand.
MadMan31 no. Look up the wiki. At the time of my post. They did the same thing.
my reactor doesnt produce rf.....
same here i dont know why my reactor isnt generating rf :/
u prob forgot to activate it
Nope, we have a different inteface
I figured it out, you shouldn't use an coolan thingy on it!
Jakob Ingvast ikr
My friends and I want to thank you... we needed more power and none of us knew how to make a reactor... while watching your video we made a reactor that is producing 9.5k rf per tick.... Using Redstone as our coolant
Thanks for the video :D I've never really messed with this mod. I've built reactors but nothing like that turbine! Very neat!
2019?
What would happen if u add Blazing pyrotheum as coolant... XD
its actually better than water
please don’t
That's a pretty good coolant, actually. But Resonant Ender is better, and Cryotheum is the best.
Very nice tutorial! Helped a lot! I have one tip to give you(after some more learning!) Build the reactor and the Turbine next to each other and output/input steam/water straight between them! They can transfer the at max speed.
Really nice and easy tutorial and it was easy for me to understand even though I'm fairly new to big mod packs
Hey awesome tutorial man! I really appreciate the video, like ALOT. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed so this video actually helped me make my first Big Reactors passively cooled reactor, and I love it! Thanks alot!
Easy to follow, nice speed, and awesome displays... Love you tutorials man! Subbed :D
Wonderfully helpful! I was looking for a DW20 mod spotlight, whom I usually rely on for spotlights, but he hasn't spotlighted this mod, so this was quite a good find.
Your tutorials are incredible, I am Brazilian and there is very little content like this here, your videos answer many questions, thank you very much. Tmj
N consigo memorizar os mods industrial craft 2, thermal, enderIO, nuclear craft e mekanism. Toda hora eu esqueço ou n entendo oq uma maquina faz e etc. Gosto mt de máquina mas n consigo entender....
É normal, vai aprendendo com tempo de jogo. Não precisa decorar, ta tudo na internet mesmo, é só pesquisar
@@2002lucasgabriel vlw mas qual mod vc me recomenda para começar?
O industrial craft serve de base pra praticamente todos os mods de máquina
Então eu acho legal começar com industrialcraft ou o thermal expansion, os processos deles são praticamente iguais a todos os outros mods
recomendo tbm assistir os videos do nofaxu, quando eu tava aprendendo me ajudaram muito
This was my favorite mod, I loved tekkit I probably spent 2-3000 hours on that modpack alone.
Thanks for the help, I was having trouble with the reactor! 😁
still best tutorial on big reactors ;) even if u rambled a bit at the end, everything is clear and helps a lot ;) thx man
One thing to note with actively cooled reactor/turbine combos - you still want the same cooling setup included in a passively cooled reactor. The active cooling uses the casing heat to turn water into steam. Passive cooling components (liquids, diamond blocks, etc.) transfer core temperature to casing temperature. Without the passive components, you get a high core temperature and relatively low steam output.
My test reactor (7x7x7 w/ 5 rods) on Monster produces about 2500 steam /tick without passive cooling and approximately 7500 steam/tick with diamond blocks filling the X of fuel rods and resonant ender casing the fuel rods. Temperature levels between core & casing are also almost even once the passive cooling is added.
I'm sure there's some more tweaking & tuning possible as well.
Nicely done tutorial too - I'm just starting to play with the turbines now.
Great tutorial. Everything I needed to know. Thank you good sir!
Dude, I'm playing on a yogscast complete server and they're getting rid of public lava, this tutorial saved my MC Life! :D
Great video man it was 38 minutes full of infomations and it was so intresting great thanks sry my english is not on point
Just watched your vid very very helpful and it was good to see how you build it all tx I will be back to see the rest of the vids
Prob one of the best tutorials around
Very nice tutorial again guys, well done.
Excellent tutorial, quick, clean, up to date, and simpel to follow! 1 more sub guys!
Thank you for this video. Made setting up my reactor alot easier!
Thanks for this. Very easy to follow.
Awesome tutorial very helpful. I think these reactors are fun to make and look cool.
Sweet tutorial dude, crystal clear, many thanks!!!!
Great tutorial! Understood it straight away, you should definitely make one for rotarycraft!
Good tutorial mate,i dont know why ppl dislike if they don't understand what is this,lol. :)
Hi.. Just have to say thank you..your tutorials have realy helpt me alot..great vids..keep up the great work..
awesome tutorial, very explanatory, great job one. I like seeing videos like this, easy to follow. Thank you very much!
thanks your video helped me out alot to understand this mod.
Great video, learned a lot. You oviously took loads of time to set this up. Good job 👽
Love your stuff, Mindcrafters, would love a video on Logistics Pipes, especially the Liquid logistics pipes, always hve trouble with that
I think the best coolant cobination for the passivly cooled reactors is Gelid Cryothium in the spaces between the fuel rods amd the rest filled with Liquid Ender. --> Good cooling in the core and it's very good at isolating the radioactivity.
Yep, almost a century later my dude and this advice saved my TNP playthrough... quick, to the point, and not hidden in a playthrough
According to several people in forums you should also use water or whatever coolant you're using in the actively cooled reactors. The cooler the better.
top shelf as usual, my good sir.
Although I won't use this mod, this does give me a scenic idea for my house, to make a generator out of normal blocks and redstone for my house.
I've played around with a couple of setups, and at one point I forgot empty the Destabilized Redstone from my passively cooled reactor before turning it actively cooled - and it works! This would makes sense if compared with real life reactors, where the fuel rods and reactor vessel are sorrounded by cooling liquid. So far, I've been able to cut the yellorium usage down to 1/4 compared with designs without passive cooling. Thought I'd mention it. =)
thanks! I was a noob at big reactors before this video.
Great tutorial. Had to watch it three times lol.
as a side note you wouldnt happen to have a tutorial on your ME / Extra Cells water set up would you?
Thanks you helped me fix my problem great video good job man
It turns out you can also have passive coolant in your actively cooled reactors. Using gelid cryotheum in all the air spaces in the single rod reactor boosts the steam production up to between 662 and 729 mb/t (varies based on waste currently in core, appears linear) compared to the 271 mB/t in the video. Note, this takes proportionally more water.
nice intro, Subscribed and this helped me a lot
8 years later still good 👍
So good. Ty for the feedback!
Good job and keep up the good work,this really helps because i love to play tekkit and you are the best tekkit guide
first off, I love all of your tutorials. what mod are you using for your signage?
Awesome tutorial! Now I understand why modded players praise these so much :)
thanks man really helpful and easy to follow
Earned a subscriber and a like. Well done! My only suggestion would be some theoretical setups, not going into the specific details of the settings, but just layouts (like the vertical turbine vs. horizontal). Extremely helpful video though, thanks!
man thanks my friends on my server really needed it were playing together friendly
This was really helpful, thank you !
Perfect helpful understandable guide. Thanks ! :)
this really helped me, i'm making a nuclear reactor and didn't want to waste my diamonds trying to do what i learned from yogscast XD. i mainly just needed to know with u can make the shape any way you want, so this helped me with that
thanks for the very clear explanation. I beat my head against the wall on the wiki for a while on this.
Robert Loughrey glad we could help :D thanks for the feedback!
