You should enchant your energy cell with "holding 4" so it keeps more power :) Great episode like always
he should also make an advanced power cell then enchant it
Was just about to comment this
Dire, remember that the 25k RF/T cap is per side on the Energy Cell and per Connection on the Fluxducts. I have a double crystal Deep Resonance reactor in my base. I have two Fluxduct connection points coming out of the reactor that converge into a single line which then splits again and goes into two sides of my Resonant Energy Cell, and the Cell is perfectly happy sucking in the 40k RF/T that the reactor generates. I haven't tested with Extreme Reactors, but I am sure that two RF Power Taps in the reactor going to two sides of the Energy Cell (or in your case two sides of the Phantom Energyface) would allow you to export all your power from the reactor with no problems.
You did like 10 episodes on astral sorcery but you didn't even check out the most interesting feature imo, the horologium ritual that speeds up machines in an area
He made it to the late game to the proces to ignore the late game xD
I'd really like to see this.
And in 20 episodes we will have a draconic evolution power episode
would have been cool to put the extreme reactor stuff in a Compact Machine
I said this in the first episode were he used Compact Machines.
I think someone else commented that you could put the turbines in nested Compact Machines...
I was screaming at the monitor when he was trying to work out where to put the flippin' reactor!
Can you also do endergenic generator sometime in this series? It's been a lot more longer since the last time you used it in comparison to extreme reactors.
yes! those things are so picky to get the timing right! Also when trying to automate enderpearls with enderlily he'll notice that Tema has a bug that doesn't allow them to be harvested by ANY of the farmers/plant automation in the pack! As of pack version 1.7.1 only the XU2 block detector+block breaker can harvest them but that is a 2x2 per one lily setup meaning 1 lily takes 4 blocks to automate.
SCM was a great solution to the timing thing, you could get the timing pretty damn precise with it. But you can do it with vanilla EU2. Would be nice to see Dire do it again, and he's never done it in a SMP lets play. :)
Brian Green: The Thermal plant grower machine thingy (we're out of coffee) automates them quite nicely in my experience - it doesn't even need to worry about the growth ticks nonsense. Also knowing Tema and the steps he took to prevent their growth being speed up, it's possible that wasn't a bug, although their item render was broken for a bit causing insane lag when held, so maybe?
Or he could just make an Enderman farm in the end.
caramba LP I mean, he already has a Enderman spawner, so it’s a moot point now, I guess.
I also love how Dire puts Reactor Glass where no will will EVER see it :)
you should only put one fluid (resonant ender or gelid cryothium), the reactor only checks coolant in the cardinal directions so you wont need to put anything in the corners, it would be a waste of time and materials. Putting both in would likely reduce efficiency or not affect it at all.
kinda true, it does only check in cardinal directions but different fluids have different attributes. Honestly he should have made the reactor 9x9x7tall and used 9 fuel rods. same resources and better efficiency.
Back to fluids having gelid between actual rods and ender between rods and walls. Ender blocks radiation so it keeps the walls cool and cryo allows radiation through helping irradiate neighboring rods. Diamond blocks are an expensive but very good internal block as well.
the way he has it set up with the 8 will save him more fuel in the long run but 9 would give more power. As for the fluids, if you use resonant ender on the block space next to the wall it will increase output but only by about .5%-1% so its up to you if you feel its worth the resources. In the test i ran it only added about 100rf/t by doing this with the resonant ender and gelid cryothium(fuel consumption stayed the same), the diamond blocks were significantly worse in comparison so id say they're not worth it.
That is pretty much because you need to have 4 outer layers of coolant for it to matter given the calculations. With this design I think just filling it with cryotheum will make it produce the most energy with the best efficiency. But like you said -- the differences are so small in the grand scheeme of things it hardly matters... if you think it's more fun with the challenge of filling it with two different fluids -- go for it.
Bee joke made my day happy we moved on tho. Evironental solars would be good too
thecloner yeah every time I saw bees I just skipped the episode
Malimber i didnt mind the bees just got old
Malimber why would you do that
CJ because bees are tedious and quite frankly boring to watch for me.
and also not intuitive so even though they are not always exciting having him do them once allows those of use that have never seen them before the ability to learn how! FYI he hasn't done bees in a lets play in over 3 years!
It isn't at all true that there are "not that many new power gen options available to us right now" - you just never put them in your packs. There's Nuclearcraft, Calculator and loads of other great mods out there but they're hardly ever used.
About to get into Nuclearcraft in ATM3, and I just wish it was more popular. It seems to be a mix of Extreme Reactors and IC2's Reactor.
Calculator is such a boring and buggy mod. Play the AoE pack and you'll see for yourself.
i didn't think calculator was to bad when i used it... the only thing i would like is for it to have a better way to insert and extract items from some of their blocks
Right, don't forget mechanism as well which he never uses but ive been having tons of fun with nuclearcraft... Such a good mod
The problem was that the Calculator mod dev went away for a while with other commitments and couldn't fix the bugs piling up - they're all fixed now I think. Has cool elements like the conductor masts and greenhouses which are quite unique, and the hunger and nutrition modules are fun, albeit a little OP. And I agree on nuclearcraft - it's very underused. The reactors already implemented are nice, and I'm really looking forward to a lot of the stuff still on the to-do list. The mod maker's also a really nice guy who always talks to us players for suggestions and feedback.
Hay @Direwolf20. I did make a suggest for a power system for you. Might not be as powerful as a full reactor/turbine build though. Go for a tree powered turbine. Thermal Dynamics has a Steam Dynamo augment that turns it into a steam boiler. It's not any more powerful then the old Railcraft boilers, but it is a fast operating boiler and it is in the pack. This steam can be piped around just like the steam from the railcraft boilers or the reactors.
For example; Resonant Dynamo with boiler augment + 11x11 tree farm + furnace to convert wood into charcoal + extreme reactor turbine, can get you 4,885rf/tick of constant power if you optimize the turbine. As I said, less then a reactor-turbine combo, but it is a more interesting build. Although, you will still need the reactor to generate the needed cyanite to make the turbine.
And you know you love automating. This project has a lot of routing, controlling, and storage/transfer automation needed to make it work to it's full extent. It's a fun project to build.
Dire. make the Gelid Bees. they produce Gelid Cryotheum I think. [they also spawn blizzes...but that's notta prob, right? i did that in a pack, was fun. stupid alveary is a pain to get rolling though.
Tizona Amanthia they spawn blizzes? Usefull
Dire, your mob farm is spawning Blitz because you are in a desert biome. Blitz drop niter when slain.
For people like me who are cheap/lazy, you can configure a reactor to toggle at arbitrary thresholds with three adjacent redstone ports and three pieces of vanilla redstone. Set one port to toggle the machine on a pulse. Set the other two to turn on when above or below an threshold.
Would enchanting the power cell increase its max i/o? You should try it.
Oğuz Kadıoğlu nope, just capacity
Ciccio&Bombo oh ok
Why not build an Endergenic Generator from RFtools along with an Ender Pearl farm? I've never seen you build that before :)
Gives you a chance to play with all the things you love. RS wiring, farming automation, and then just getting the Generator running properly.
Saichen he's used it before, but it's been a long time since...
Question: is it worth it to create a liquid Uranium world in the direpack to get Fuel or is it not worth it?
gromigur The answer is yes.
You'd need a bunch of pumps and generators but the more you have, the more "worth it" it is.
Dire can you please get some kind of night vision? It's very difficult to tell what's going on when you're inside some walls or in caves
True, even with 100% brightness in my monitor still dark!
check your monitors gamma. I can see just fine when I watch on a computer with calibrated monitor, Samsung phone, or iPad.
Why not just jump to Draconic Evolution power gen? I mean at some point we will get there, even the lower tier ball holds a ton of power, it looks cool, and it can run longer than 15 episodes. Plus Dire can build a sub sub sub basement to contain the Reactor and Power Ball. I think it would be a win win. (I could also be alone in thinking this is a win win)
Murl Harmon it's going to take a lot more to get into draconic power generation...
It's 25000 rf/t for each connection on both ends of the conduit, so for example if you attach the same conduit to 3 flux ports and the other end to 3 faces of the same capacitor, it will receive 75000 rf/t.
make some kind of botania mana reactor or something and then convert the mana in rf with the mana fluxfield. I think it is a very interresting way to produce rf. Ive seen almost all other generators. They all seem like the same to my right now. It bores me that there is now unique way to produce rf. So please make a huge mana reactor and use the mana fluxfield
Enderio is getting close to useable. If it is stable, he could use capacitor banks. Or he could just go with the draconic orb
Dire: Lets make a Draconic Orb, now where to put it? How about it be hovering over the Pyramid like a miniature sun,,,
--Compact machine just for an Orb? I/O with cryo ducts.
thermal expansion energy cells are cheap, easy, and upgradeable...no idea why he's only using one of them.
Thank you for reading the comments it makes it seam like your viewers matter a bit more then usual
the crystal power thing was neat, but i am excited to see big reactors again!!
"not many new powergen option" Nuclearcraft, mekanism. have i mentioned nuclearcraft?
andymion but honestly, I feel that 1.12 lacks some newer more innovative power gen options. Would make modpacks more interesting imo
Btw Dire, make sure to use a reservoir when filling in the cryotheum, it will cut down on the pain
Dire, you can have bees make cryotheum dust directly, as well as yellorium grain which can be turned into Yellorium dust.
Dire, you should get mekanism and use the DT reactors plus the induction cell multiblock
Environmental tech?
André Valente first couple tiers of solars are useless, higher tiers are expensive but powerful, how high a tier he can get is limited by the tier of environmental tech ore miner he has atm.
Kyle Kroeker you are right, he hasn't touched the mod in a while though, look at all those resources in storage!
Kyle Kroeker but he already has tier 3 crystals, it wouldnt take too long to get it up to higher tier solars
Still Loving your videos Dire...keep it up!!
You could use solid blocks as coolant until you get the fluid coolant sorted, even just iron blocks will make it run way more efficient.
If there is no easy way to quickly transfer water and steam in this pack, you might want to move that reactor to a more central location, so you can put turbines right beside it for port kissing.
Mekanism fusion reactor would've been more fun than the extreme reactor, but eh. :d
anything would be more fun ... Extreme reactors is a good mod but so boring
It sure would have, but since Dire / FTB steadfastly refuse to include Mekanism in their packs, we are stuck with boring, even more OP big reactors. Yawn.
Mekanism is my favorite mod ever, but no "I want you guys to be able to play this pack however you want so I put both Refined Storage and AE2!" Just... Why won't he add Mekanism. :C
0:20 To Bee or not to Bee, that is the question!
Hey Direwolf, just to say, you can enchant Energy Cells to have Holding IV. Might be useful, unless you're getting into Draconic storage that is :)
Hey Dire, I watched a video somewhere on CZcams, and I cannot remember where, but it showed me that if you put your yellorium cells adjacent to each other rather than corner-to-corner, you can make your reactor a bit more powerful and efficient.
it works best when the rods are in the middle.
It's like the '90s all over again lol
Morning guys!
The design for the rods you have chosen is much more efficient than the checkerboard layout.
Dire, why don't you put a pattern terminal next to the pattern storage? You keep on having to go up and down every time you create patterns!
Why build 9x9 houses when you can build 9x9x9 reactors!
So much Direwire are going on here =)
Can't you put the refined storage filters in the exporters?
I like extreme reactors but I would love to see you do something like an endergenic generator.
To prevent wasting of resources (uranium/power) you can "insert control rods" in reactor which will decrease power generation and uranium consumption.
actually, that's a pretty efficient design, dire, from what I've learned.
powerful yes...efficient?...not even...lol
i hope the mod author of the compact machine mod adds dires noise ( 19:53 ) when teleporting into them
Can you work on setting up a better soldering system for RS. Idk if theres is anything from storage reborn to help with that?
This actually is a fairly good design, glad you didn't go checkerboard as that is not very good. To improve the design the more layers of liquid between the outer walls and the rods the better, I imagine there is a diminishing returns at some point. Dire's reactor at 7x7x7 with Gelid Cryotheum yields 28,241.88 RF/t at a cost of 0.36 mB/t. If it were 9x9x7 with the same number of rods interior it would be 34,000.34 RF/t at 0.33 mB/t. For 11x11x7 it is 37,613.1 RF/t at 0.32 mB/t. Obviously more rods = more rf/t and how you size it and place the liquid effects the cost of fuel per tick.
Are you going to hook up open computers to the reactor this season?
Love reactors!
Adv gen makes a lot more power per block tho 😉
any reason mekanism is not in the pack
I have been wondering that to think I asked the question on episode 1 with no answer :/
At the end of the day FTB is a VERY circlejerk crew and Dire's packs even more so, which is why you see almost no new mods unless they're from a select few people. This is why popular mods like Mekanism, Nuclearcraft, Rotarycraft, etc are almost never in their packs. Because the mod authors aren't part of the "clique". It's sad really.
Has Mekanism been ported to 1.12.2 yet?
Nageswarao Kilaru yea it has, the very day the Dw20 pack released I checked and it was already updated and manually added it to my instance
Nageswarao Kilaru, yes it has.
Lol "something I haven't worked on a lot lately", you mean a thing you've done in literally every series for the past 3 years? Mk. "There aren't many power options in the pack" So put some in, you're the pack author.
James Fleming this comment needs more likes and attention.
The cell is perside for 25000rf so cryo will work
Damn CZcams! always fail with me!! all you had to do is show Dire video in the subscribe tab!!!
Good i follow Dire in the Twitter :D
The Niter comes from your mob farm Dire
i hope u change all ur cable to the max tier one they looks cool and expensive!nice ep btw
Vapor of Levity is more efficient than gelid cryotheoum?
@18:40 "Might be on the UI now"... like it's been the past 10 versions of minecraft.
dire y make a reactor when u have a rainbow gen in the pack that generates like ten times the power and when will u do psi, roots, and embers
Azhton Graves good point
Diretime!!
I miss the days of computer craft automation! lol
Maybe you should try combining Extreme Reactors with that shrinking room mod
Dire, just start to make draconic evolution and make that energy ball.That should hold your energy and more.
Is there any way to kill the end Dragon automaticaly?
*dire makes big reactor with glass walls. Doesn't bother to make the outside of the glass look nice*
Dire and his 9x9s again...
Should have put the extreme reactor in a compact machine. would have been a lot cooler!
Cant you enchant the energy cell with holding?
yes, up to holding 4.
Prepare your world for download the episode before the one with the download episode
Dire, do you have plans to start a new series of Fortresscraft Evolved? It is almost the second anniversary of when your last one ended.
People didn’t like Deep Resonance since it’s been done to death and it’s basically the same build every time. So your solution to that is to do an Extreme Reactors build??? Hello? Here’s a better solution, add Mekanism (per the zillion as of yet unacknowledged requests you’ve had in these comments) and you will have a reactor to build that is about 100x more interesting than DR & ER put together and requires a little more effort to fuel than hooking up an export bus.
You should place the reactor in a compact machine
My reactor is a 4x4 interrior and makes just shy of 9k rf a tick ill gladly explain further for those who want to know
The wither drops niter sometimes.
"we'll be filling it up with a liquid so you won't see the walls anyway" - right... so why did you make the back and sides reactor glass again? 😉
Not really fussed about how you gen power or if you use bees though I do wonder if extreme reactors has any config for explosion on overheat it is after all a nukeclear reactor xD
PardusRain it doesn’t that I’m aware of and that’s really the point, totally OP power gen with no consequences
I believe the turbines can explode but no the reactor
Its been talked about before, it never gets anywhere though.
There is a similar mod called Nuclearcraft that does that
PardusRain It's a Radiothermal generator, not a fission reactor, so no, it shouldn't explode.
I say that OC is a little too complicated, so I prefer Computercraft. Yes, there is a version that is for 1.12.2.
EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME *meedlymeedlymeedlyMOWWWWWW*
hello! :3
I just saw that thaumcraft has gone into beta for 1.10.2
Sort of wish you put it in a compact machine...for lolz
Derf dire hahaha
Havent play forestry for a while , maybe you can play it next time
Environmental tech solar please
Like I did the math Dire. With your level of environmental tech void ore miner you could easily automate the production of the solar components. Plus the sun is an infinite resource so it really doesn’t need automation or throttling. Max level solar with max level panels makes over 100k rf/t
13:39 I heard Kids in the background.
He is a father
Make a yellorium world and mine inn it to get the fule.
I like writing a simple text only program. I know what it's doing. I know how to fix it.
This far into the series, I've completely forgotten how Dire gets the Blizz Rods for the upgrade kits. In my own playthrough I'm stuck because I can't get the blizz rods.
Also, what was the mob spawner he uses called? I've searched and searched, but the only spawner I find is the one with the syringes, and that takes forever to spawn and require 2 full stacks of saplings or equivalent plant matter to spawn a single mob.
And that's a thing I've noticed in this particular pack. The other DW20 packs have been more play-and-learn, but this one is almost hardcore. You need so many odd things. Wanna get a void ore miner? Better go breed some bees or build an ultra-efficient cactus farm and skeleton spawner, because you'll need a LOT of green and lime dyes.
Wanna get the one and only cobble gen and the only reliably renewable source of silicon in the pack? Better get that cursed mob spawner going, because you need to kill a LOT of mobs for that one bucket of pink slime required.
Wanna get into Draconic Evolution? Better get a dragon farm going... and for that you'll need a wither farm. Because the only things that you won't need countless dragon hearts and nether stars for in that pack is the potentiometer and the most basic energy storage devices. Anything beyond that need the infusion crafting thingy, and the only thing you can do with the basic one (the one not requiring a fusion crafting with like 8 nether stars and a heart) is fusion crafting the next tier.
And then we have Thermal Expansion... The one that should be quicker to get further into, but to make the 3rd tier upgrade, you will need a blizz rod. An ultra rare spawning mob with no reliable way of getting into a mob spawner, beyond the one he has in this playthrough that doesn't have mob or spawn in the name.
the spawner he's using is a mob duplicator from industrial foregoing; he's also using cursed earth
I'm almost positive he automated the production of blizz *powder* which can all be done with nothing more than Thermal machines
1) craft aqueous accumulator and glacial precipitator to start snowball production
2) craft magma crucible and fluid transposer and configure so the crucible outputs into the transposer
3)put redstone dust in magma crucible and snowballs in fluid transposer
4)????
5)profit
Look into two different ways to change vanilla spawners, actually additions, and mob grinding utils, then hit up the nether for a drop of evil, use it on a blaze spawner to get rods, then catch a wither skeleton, change the next blaze spawner to it, hit it with a drop of evil, profit. Mob utils works on most things that have a spawn egg.
Why doesn't that snowball recipe show up in JEI? According to mine, the only way to get Blizz Powder is to grind up Blizz Rods.
escman1999: According to JEI, there's nothing called a mob duplicator. I search "mob" and can't get it, I searched "@industrialforegoing" and it wasn't listed there either, only the one that requires syringes and slow-as-balls beams of stacks upon stacks of saplings.
rainbow gen?
I love the symbolism of having the bees behind a wall that doesn't open unless you come near it. So people can ignore bees by never going near them xD
I love the Resonant Reactor... but the Extreme Reactor is so incredibly overused... every single time in everyones LP's theres extreme reactors. they generate power and look 1% fancy. resonant reactors are atleast 60% fancy. Advanced Generators are nice and all but they dont really do a lot either i give them a rating of 30% fancy... I would really like a Resonant Reactor thats fully automated
can you add thaumcraft 6 to the pack?
Bees! I need more bees!
#DireDad
sup
Nuclearcraft > extreme reactors
28th :P
I believe direwolf may be the only person who actually says derp in 2018...
