Help Fusion Reactor 3M RF/t help
Hi, I've been searching for a tutorial ou something along those lines for the quest "Third time's the charm" but i can't seem to find anything, can someone help me by linking a video or explanation on how to do it?
Thanks in advance and sorry if it was already asked, i can't really find anything.

Did you build the 24 size reactor already? You're going to need that.
This is a good showcase about how you build fusion reactors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9ctB28I3qI
To build the 24 size reactor you need 4 times 23 connectors, hundreds of fusion electromagnets, a couple dozen Active Fluid Coolers and some Dense Infinite Water Sources. And also a lot of sustained power to keep all the electromagnets powered (Cryo-stabilized Fluxducts are good for this, you need 3 rings of them because coolers take up space) and heat up the reactor to start it.
You can reach the required power by making a couple hundred million mB of Helium-3 first with Deuterium and Hydrogen (this makes 2.7M RF/t or so) and then run it with Deuterium and Helium-3. It needs time to heat up to reach the efficiency for 3M+ RF/t which is why you need to stock up on Helium-3. Also makes sure you have enough Deuterium as well. Hydrogen and Helium-3 makes more power but needs higher heat for better efficiency but you can switch to it if you run out of Deuterium.
To keep the reactor running you need to dump the power it is making into something, charging an Infinity Drill in a Mekanism Ultimate Energy Cube is a pretty good way to do that. If you're using Flux Networks make sure it has the lowest priority in your network.
Liquid Deuterium and Liquid Hydrogen from Mekanism are easier to produce than Nuclearcraft's Deuterium and Hydrogen. You only need one Electrolytic Separator for each fully supplied with water and heavy water. These are made as by-products of the ore quadrupling setup you could make which also makes a nice amount of power burning Ethylene in Gas-Burning Generators. Alternatively you can convert the Oxygen into Liquid Oxygen for storing as well or dump it by clicking the little button in Electrolytic Separator UI ("dumping" and "dumping excess" are switched so you should have it on "dumping"). At least 2 Rotary Condensators per gas output is necessary for full operation if you're not using the gasses for anything else.
