Finally a tutorial that makes sense! The poteniometer is amazing, nobody else mentioned that... Plus nobody else went into detail about the placing of the flux gates as those are irritating at times. This is the first video I've followed which lead to it not leaving a giant lava crater. Good thing I tried all of these on a test map, lol. Now off to try it on my survival world :)
Beautiful piece of programming with the computer I must say. I do have one question. I am running all the mods 3 remix and cannot seem to get the status of the reactor on the monitors. It does however display on the computer screen. I'm using the latest version of draconic and minecraft 1.12.2. Thanks for your help and once again. Beautiful job with this. P.S. Yes, it's outputting over 4.7 million rf a tic thanks to your setup.
Thanks. Great tutorial. Got mine working , Only two explosions. Had world saves, So all ok. But I am struggling with the Computercraft side. Please make a video explaining how to connect the modems and set up the computer. Much appreciated.
Yeah, it's pretty much exactly the same as the way it is in the video, except you have to design a system to feed the Energy Injector when it's shutting down. The computer in the video handles that for me, but without the computer, you might need to manually control energy flow into the Injector to prevent a catastrophic explosion.
Heya mate, very good tutorial. I have a FTB infinity evolved server. Excuse me for being dumb but how do you add the Potentiometer to the flux gate? I can't do it, and how do you change the containment field to inverted? I have tried everything to no avail.
I have the newest version for minecraft 1.10.2 (on my home computer) but i don't see the reactor stuff in there. (i also use minecraft 1.7.10 on my laptop and it not in there either)
If you're using NEI, make sure the subsets aren't hiding anything (You can change the subsets at the top of your inventory screen). And also make sure your modpack isn't disabling any Draconic Evolution items.
In the description now! Be careful with it though, I wrote it specifically for my reactor xD I do believe it's possible to add the Flux Gates to the ComputerCraft network as well, but I haven't gotten around to testing that out.
thank you so much for that.... i am not ready to get mine up and running yet, want to make sure i am not going to destroy our base but did just install our Draconic Energy storage.... i dont suppose you have a good code for monitoring the energy input rate and amounts of this via a 2x3 monitor too do you :)
Zahi Dodson No problem! Just remember, the computer outputs a redstone signal to the left which goes to the tesseract you can see in the video (external power source). And it wraps the reactor on the bottom, so the computer must be placed on top. And the monitor can connect to any other side. You can see I have it on the right side in the video.
Here's the way it works. When the reactor is shutting down, you can no longer extract any energy out of it. So if you have a feedback system similar to what I have in the video, you WILL need another way to feed the Energy Injector so you can keep the Containment Field Strength high enough for safety. In short, yes, the reactor is still capable of exploding when it's shutting down. I explain how it works at 12:47.
I do have a system to keep the containment field charged, but my question was will the energy saturation ever reach 100% when it's in the process of shutting down? Or is that impossible for it to reach 100%?
Oh right. Okay, so in my experience, I've never reached exactly 100% Energy Saturation. However, I would imagine that nothing bad would happen if you reached 100% Saturation.
The way I have it set up in the video, technically I could. But the flux gate connected to that external source is set up at a very high constant rate of flow (If I remember correctly: it was set at 1 Million RF/t). That means that if I left it on all the time, it would constantly feed in that much power and drain that much power from your external source, which would be inefficient. So yes, it's possible. But in many cases, not efficient.
Those are Cryo-Stabilized Fluxducts from the mod "Thermal Dynamics". Also, this video was recorded on 1.7.10, which is getting pretty outdated. I'm not sure if Thermal Dynamics is available for 1.10.2.
Hey, great video! I was afraid of starting this thing up due to the inherent danger of running it un-monitored, so when I saw your computercraft design I was intrigued! I went ahead and re-created the reactor and computer set up, using the code you provided. However I cant get the program to run the same way as you, whenever I run the program the computer terminal displays a basic version of the monitor with no options for commands. This essentially makes it useless in the sense that I cant shut it down or do anything if the thing is going critical. I may be running the program wrong or something I am new to computercraft. Do you have an advice? Thank you in advance!
Actually, there's more to the computer than what I showed :P I updated the description with all four scripts that the computer uses. One program monitors the reactor and displays its information to an external 5x3 monitor (reactorInfo). One program accepts user input in the form of commands (reactorCommands). One program is simply optional; it accepts a redstone signal from any side and reboots the computer (rebootScript). And the last program starts all three of those programs upon booting the computer (startup). Pretty nifty stuff. If you set up your reactor exactly as I showed in the video, and set your computer up using the exact same code, your reactor will behave like my setup :P I recommend tinkering around with the reactor on a superflat creative world before you implement it in your survival world. One mistake and all your hard work is gone... Here's quick access to all four programs! reactorCommands: pastebin.com/RD0P94Rv reactorInfo: pastebin.com/B7L60FmH rebootScript: pastebin.com/sHDftXx2 startup: pastebin.com/MqJDpciv
+zzApotheosis Aha! I thought there was probably more to the code. Im new to computercraft but have done some coding before and noticed there were no actions, just setup statements. Ive been testing on a superflat to see how I can optimize the setup and not blow my base up and get around 530k output before running into critical drain. Does that have to do with slow incremental changes over time to slowly bring your reactor to full function? Thanks for your quick response to my original message, I really appreciate it!
+TheDillon2456 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it in the video, but I wrote it instead at 30:58. The reactor at first (0% Fuel Conversion) will not allow a great deal of energy generation without getting too hot, but when the fuel conversion gets higher, the reactor becomes more lenient toward energy extraction. I think on my 1.7 world, I was easily extracting 1.1MRF/t when fuel conversion was around 30%, but I think you can start increasing your extraction rate at around 5% or so, maybe 10%. Basically, the fuel conversion changes the reactor's tolerance for high energy output. Feel free to change the values of the flux gates to allow more energy extraction and/or more energy injection.
+zzApotheosis I somehow missed that haha youre right when you said there werent any recent videos on this and its too bad because this is such a cool mod, but you did a great job! Thanks for the help!
This is kinda meh... You have to watch out for so many little things, you have to spend so much resources and time and for what... You could go with few balanced reactors and you'd get decent amount of energy... I totally don;t get the point of using draconic reactor..
The Draconic Reactor is one of the most powerful end-game RF solutions. For a balancing mechanic, brandon3055 decided to make the reactor very delicate because this type of power should not come easily. You're right, though. For most common energy consuming tasks, the Draconic Reactor is overkill. It's mostly just for big (possibly unnecessary) projects that require lots of power, and/or for a universal network of power where this reactor is the center of production. Remember, this is Minecraft. Keep an open mind to the possibilities.
zzApotheosis Tbh i dislike Draconic Evolution in general.. It does bring very cool little stuff & ideas, but they just simply >destroy< modpacks. You need just few draconic ores and you have pretty much end game tools with totally BS shields. Thus noone even thinks of trying other mods (like HELL i'd try thaumcraft armor, if I could have creative mode-tier of draconic armor), cause what's the point? draconic pickaxe, chest and armor and you got nothing to do... If at least mobs scalled with time (like Apocalypse mod), then YEAH! It'd work. Back to the topic. Considering what I just said.. or ranted.. above, I totally don;t understand that logic disparency between OP weapons / tools / equipment vs "fragile" draconic reactor. Then the second part is... What would make me want to even >try< draconic evolution reactor, if 1, maybe 2 big reactors would give me more energy than I'd ever need? (It's more of rhetorical question, cause RFTools and their dimlets etc) But why would I want to take a risk of blowing up my whole map (or dimension), if I could go with alot safer road, while maintaining usefullness?
MrDeothor I do agree with all of your points. I only made this tutorial because I thought that a lot of the other "tutorials" on TH-cam at the time were sub-par. Even though Minecraft has never had a standard goal, keeping the game balanced is still necessary as the modding community is such a huge influence on its gameplay. I do like Draconic Evolution as an idea, but a lot of its content is just so powerful in a way that it breaks the game in many ways. For example, the Draconic Staff of Power is the ultimate endgame tool and is so powerful that nobody ever wants to check out what other mods' tools can offer.
zzApotheosis Yeah :) Thanks for tutorial, Not sure if I'd use it though, but if I'll break under RF/t demands then maybe.. It was nice talking with you ;)

Glad I could help!
This tutorial is SO SO SO much better than any of the ones I found previously. Thank you so much!
Definitely makes me want to come back and start another world!
@@zzApotheosis Go for it! Glad to see you're still around lol.
would it be possible to get an overview on how you wired the computer in and maybe a tutorial on your programs?
Is there any way to do a tutorial on linking the ComputerCraft machines with the Draconic Evolution reactor?
can you do a tutorial on how to connect it to computer craft?
Beautiful piece of programming with the computer I must say. I do have one question. I am running all the mods 3 remix and cannot seem to get the status of the reactor on the monitors. It does however display on the computer screen. I'm using the latest version of draconic and minecraft 1.12.2. Thanks for your help and once again. Beautiful job with this.

what game version is this running running
Thanks. Great tutorial. Got mine working , Only two explosions. Had world saves, So all ok. But I am struggling with the Computercraft side. Please make a video explaining how to connect the modems and set up the computer. Much appreciated.
I might be a little late but do you know the in/output numbers for the flux gates without useing Computers?
Usually on the output, I do around 600k starting out. And 200k input. You still should use a comparator setup though.
anyway to do this with the computer not attached to the reactor?
Yeah, it's pretty much exactly the same as the way it is in the video, except you have to design a system to feed the Energy Injector when it's shutting down. The computer in the video handles that for me, but without the computer, you might need to manually control energy flow into the Injector to prevent a catastrophic explosion.
Nothing works . I looked a bunch of reviews and does not work.
i dont have the mod for the flux ducts, will it still work
You basically just need some sort of RF cable or conduit which can support the massive energy flow.
Heya mate, very good tutorial. I have a FTB infinity evolved server. Excuse me for being dumb but how do you add the Potentiometer to the flux gate? I can't do it, and how do you change the containment field to inverted? I have tried everything to no avail.
You can use crystals if you don’t have cryo stabilized fluxducts
Hey man awesome video! I was wondering if you ever setup Terminal Glasses to work with this system for a top left hud display.
I never did that, but that would be awesome to see!
nice mona lisa of RF
what version of Dragonic Evolution are you using?
In this video, I think I was using 1.0.2b, but I'm pretty sure this still works on the latest 1.7.10 version.
I have the newest version for minecraft 1.10.2 (on my home computer) but i don't see the reactor stuff in there. (i also use minecraft 1.7.10 on my laptop and it not in there either)
If you're using NEI, make sure the subsets aren't hiding anything (You can change the subsets at the top of your inventory screen). And also make sure your modpack isn't disabling any Draconic Evolution items.
Are you able to share the code you have for controlling the reactor? pretty please :)
In the description now! Be careful with it though, I wrote it specifically for my reactor xD I do believe it's possible to add the Flux Gates to the ComputerCraft network as well, but I haven't gotten around to testing that out.

What are the mods or modpack that you used in this video?
It's my personal modpack. But it's pretty much just an even heavier version of FTB I:E
when i try to make the injector inverted it doesnt even give me an option
Try shift-right clicking it.
zzApotheosis it shows me clicking it just not making It inverted
@@pandamanjoe9664 You gotta sneak when you right click it. Did you do that?
@@pandamanjoe9664 Oh, it might be for 1.7.10. There might be another way to do it in 1.12.2.
zzApotheosis yeah I spent a whole hour trying to figure it out
can we use a tier 6 energy core instead of a creative energy cube?
You can use anything that can support its power demand. A Tier 6 core would work.
Can it blow up when it's shutting down? Cause I'm very scared mine will if the energy saturation will reach 100% when booting down, lol.
Here's the way it works. When the reactor is shutting down, you can no longer extract any energy out of it. So if you have a feedback system similar to what I have in the video, you WILL need another way to feed the Energy Injector so you can keep the Containment Field Strength high enough for safety.

can you have your external power source connected all the time?

That means that if I left it on all the time, it would constantly feed in that much power and drain that much power from your external source, which would be inefficient.

what modpack is this?
This is my own private modpack that I put together. It's basically a modified version of FTB: Infinity Evolved.
To anyone who wants my ComputerCraft setup, I made a separate tutorial for that! Check it out!
th-cam.com/video/pmRWGzYRbHE/w-d-xo.html
My friend actually got his reactor to shut down for refueling.
Mine almost managed but then my assistant committed chernobyl disaster
The armor from this mod can protect you from dying from this thing if it actually blows up
This tutorial is not accurate anymore, could you do a new version?
It should say reactorTerminal but this is old video
