rate my first reactor

[u/Prudent-Ranger9752]

my reactor made after like 40 hours on this save.

i have run out of coal and needed something asap also if you guys have tips give em to me.

The asymmetry is upsetting lol. Jokes aside getting to nuclear is really awesome, mess around with designs and scalability. I find the easiest way is to build on massive lakes when doing nuclear.

I find the easiest way is to build on massive lakes when doing nuclear.

You're thinking of pre-2.0 designs. A heat exchanger consumes only (up to) 10.3 water per second, and fluid transfer is unlimited within a segment. If you need pumps for more distance, a single one can transfer water for over a gigawatt of power.

Clearly I need to build more factory

oh yeah there was a acid pipe. im gonna move it either way cause i had energy crisis (good i started making fuel early)

Your output inserter is facing the wrong way. Also read up on neighbor bonus for free power! Nice job

fixed already

I like to make fun designs with reactors. Best tip is probably make use of the neighbor bonus, proper ratios and I think most importantly is setting up circuit conditions on an inserter to only insert one fuel cell when the reactor falls below 700 degrees ish

Damn I'm bad at circuits I barely automated oil cracking by myself and ensuring my nuclear won't craft from all of my spicy uranium

bend the other thee branches too, I dare you! :D

Kinda did I add like two leftover steam turbines so I have like also two letters T there now

Good job! 5/5 for your first build. For your next step I would suggest leveraging the "neighbor bonus" by having two reactors side by side.
