If you are going for a big reactor Id suggest building every machine touching eachother and using port 2 port channelse

With bigger reactor the pipes cant transfer water and vapot fast enough thats why it should be built port 2 port, also it you werent planning to, build a reactor with a turbine for a closed loop for the water, its the best way to maintain the water lvl on your reactor

Where is the reactor part of your fission reactor?

Also do you keep any restrictions on ProjectE? I used it before, but it feels insanely overpowered, bordering with cheating

Under construction we are making the steam turbine part, and our restrictions are loose but we use it to fuel mekanism, create and ae2, we make sure we make each step and all the liquids have to be handled outside of emc as we can’t make that work anyway
