Factorio nuclear reactor setup.

Last week I accidentally ran out of nuclear fuel cells (its a long story). It was such a pain going to manually reload 70+ reactors that I decided it was time to update my fuel loading blueprint to include auto-start. Basic idea: count fuel loaded and unloaded. On start, both counts are zero. Load in one cell; after five minutes, the used fuel ...

Tileable Nuclear setup (v4) by Aeternus » Fri May 25, 2018 7:44 pm. Short version: - Tileable design expandable into infinity as long as terrain permits. - Requires landfilling. Works well with tall but narrow stretches of water. - Throttled design, reactors will only be active when more steam production is needed..

Reactors gets a bonus for each adjacent (and working) reactors, so the amount of Heat exchanger and Steam turbines (as well as power production) increase for each reactors in your power plant. For example, two reactors would both yield +100% output, so that would be 4 reactors equivalent units (2x2), and you would need 16 Heat Exchanger and 28 ...This is because the neighbor bonus makes 2 reactors produce the energy equivalent of 4 reactors. EDITED: Meanwhile, nuclear being cheaper in the long run does not make solar useless because solar energy gains are incremental compared to nuclear and the research cost is low. I usually unlock solar first and build 5-10MW of it before the factory ...Put a heat exchanger on the section and add tank - pump - tank - turbine - turbine. While the temperature is above 500° the heat exchanger continuously produces steam and the steam content of the first tank is >0. When the temperature drops, the tank is quickly emptied by the pump and steam=0. Blueprint: This should be connected to the heat ...Nuclear reactor has low temperature. Hello fellow engineers! I have some trouble with my reactor setup. Reactor is at about 529 degrees (Celsius) suddenly. I do not get why. It worked fine for about 10 in game hours until now. It has plenty of fuel and my heat exchanger are receiving enough water. Now the reactor cannot heat up the heat pipes ...I've set up a nuclear power setup by using the factorio wiki's tutorial for ratios. What I clearly don't understand is heat pipes. The setup is as follows: The 4 bottom and top row Heat Exchangers on each side aren't getting enough heat. So, the issue is that only 8 heat exchangers in each row are getting to >500°C, while the ones on the sides ...

72 tanks, 85 turbines. This is "the flawless to absurd" setup because it counters all problems with drops of maximum available performance during powering up cycle — it has enough buffer capacity to sustain pressure and give reactor time to heat up for distant exchangers, and it is operating with 2 control rods in each reactor — so if you ...Playing around in creative mode and made a small 40 MW reactor setup with the water being fed from the middle of the pad. Would need to be fed by a train stop or logistics network for fuel cells which could also remove the need for the roboport on the pad itself. Circuit controlled to not insert more fuel while the tanks still have a reserve.Sulfuric acid is a liquid that is used to create batteries and processing units.It must also be piped into electric mining drills to mine uranium ore.It can be produced in a chemical plant from sulfur, water, and iron plates.. Optimal ratios. The optimal ratio for sulfuric acid production is two chemical plants producing sulfuric acid for every five chemical plants producing sulfur.

Then, you can setup circuit conditions to stop loading nuclear fuel and use up the steam. By design, it looks like the reactor and heat pipe does cool down from their operating temperature of 500C, so when you load another fuel, there is no lose to start up cost. Heat is not lost cause the Factorio universe is magical.

You have, per 1x2 reactor setup … 40 Steam Turbines and only 10 Heat Exchangers. 10 HE's can only produce 1030 Steam… enough to supply 17.16666666 Steam Turbines with Steam, for 99.91 MW per setup, 199.82 MW overall in your pic. At 103 Steam/sec one Heat Exchanger cannot supply two Steam Turbines with enough Steam.Sulfuric acid is a liquid that is used to create batteries and processing units.It must also be piped into electric mining drills to mine uranium ore.It can be produced in a chemical plant from sulfur, water, and iron plates.. Optimal ratios. The optimal ratio for sulfuric acid production is two chemical plants producing sulfuric acid for every five chemical plants producing sulfur.Reply. fd0p-j • 2 yr. ago. My first nuclear reactor setup was a mess of single reactor and a few boilers and turbines scattered around the place and connected with fluid and heat pipes because of cliffs and other factories in the way and this reminds me a lot of it. I've learnt a lot since then, and the second most important thing that I've ...Hello, I am looking for better solution for my power grid. My current setup includes vanilla solar panels and accumulators, steam turbines and 2x1 nuclear reactor with steam tanks in between. I also have 2 circuits controlling whole setup. First circuit enables inserters which swap fuel in reactors if tanks are below threshold. That one works fine (inserters grab used fuel and do a pulse which ...


Citizen times obituaries

I wanted to create a tileable nuclear reactor design that got the full 160MW output out of each reactor (300% neighbor bonus; not including the end pieces). It was a lot easier than I thought -- heat pipe throughput was not an issue, and getting enough pumps for steam throughput was no problem at all. Features:

Two 2x2 reactors generates 85% what a 2x4 reactor can do (960 MW instead of 1.12GW) and are trivial to set up from a fluid routing perspective. Taking into account the efficiency losses that you have when using condenser turbines, a pair of 2x2 power plants may be even more efficient than a 2x4 that uses 75% condenser turbines and 25% standard ....

This is meant to be a starter nuclear power plant for a new factory. As such, it doesn't require bots for operation and will moderate fuel cell insertion while storing excess energy as steam. Fuel goes in on the bottom belt, and spent fuel returns on the top belt. The plant will need to be manually started with a single fuel placed in each reactor.Find blueprints for the video game Factorio. Share your designs. Search the tags for mining, smelting, and advanced production blueprints. ... 2 favorites Space Exploration Condenser Turbine 4 Reactor setup (320MW-360MW) ... 1 favorites Space Exploration 2x4 Controlled Condenser Nuclear Reactor. 0 favorites 24 item types out of one requester ...The total sustained heat output of your plant is based on your active reactors. 1 reactor is 40MW. A pair of reactors is 2x40 +100% => 160MW. 2x2 is 4x40 +200% => 480MW. Every pair of reactors tacked on the end (for a 2 by X reactor )is another 2x40 +300% => 320MW. The power I get just depends on demand.Factorio CheatSheet says that 4 cores loss-less need 40 steam tanks. There is an inconspicuous note down-there saying : "not including heat stored in the reactor or pipes (both heat and steam). "That note means, you actually need 2 ( y e s, t w o ) steam tanks.Reactor 8core balanced heat pipes [v0.15.12].png. Kinda pretty, ehh? Hot Features: + Balanced heat distribution to the exchangers. Every heat pipe is exactly 19 or 20 tiles long. The final exchangers of each lane kick in at almost the same time per fuel cycle, & heat variation during / after a fuel burn was only +/- 20 degrees between the ends ...Given that the theoric output of reactors is ( 56*4*40)+(4*3*40) = 9.440000 GW and that the mod rate calculator approximate it as 157.3*60 = 9.438000 GW the efficency is between 99.99985 % and 100.02104% which i think shows no problem in that regard, all the reactor burning capacity can be turned into elecricity (and even more as it possible to ...

So 4 reactors optimal is 83 turbines or 481.4 MW of usage. Your spike with the 1 - 1 - 2 setup is 556.8 MW (96 turbines). So long as you use less than 481.4 MW of power per 4 reactor set-ups then you still build up excess steam.Combined, the 2nd recipe will disconnect the nuclear from the network when accumulators are high, and the first will stop feeding it fuel while the steam tanks are full, which will happen because it's disconnected from the network. Do note There is a large time delay from when fuel is inserted until when the steam is hot enough to make power.Community-run subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. ... Nuclear_power 2x2 nuclear reactor setup cannot have over 480MW. that 512MW you saw was the excess amount of steam produced due to low usage. power shall drop to 480MW eventually because that is the highest it can produce steadily.4 roboports. Overview. Symmetrical with the exception of one arithmetic combinator and plenty room for walking. Production. Produces ~1.1GW. Tested with many laser turrets, radars and bots.

The heat pipe can transport heat over longer distances and connect devices which produce and use heat. Currently this is limited to heat exchangers and nuclear reactors.. Heat pipes have a heat capacity of 1 MJ/°C. Thus, they can theoretically buffer 500 MJ of heat energy across their working range of 500°C to 1000°C, making them a space-efficient …Re: [0.15.3] Nuclear Reactor Setup Expandable? by Rage » Fri Apr 28, 2017 3:37 am. You're 9 reactors have an effective value of 21, to run 20 heat exchangers you only need a effective value of 5. You could get that with on 3 rectors, two together (touching) and one separated. Your 20 heat exchangers can only fully sustain 34 turbines, a 35th ...Nuclear Emergency Backup Power/No Fuel Cell Waste. by Tiny Rick » Fri Jun 02, 2017 3:51 am. So, I'm a new player to Factorio, and I've been tinkering with an emergency backup nuclear power supply for my existing 30MW solar power farm. I would like some input on my current nuclear setup. It's probably not very optimal, and there is definitely ...I always design my nuclear reactors considering the following (the details are taken from the official wiki) Each heat exchanger needs at least 104 water per second. Pipes can transfer around 1200 units per second between pumps. Each offshore pump can feed up to 11 heat exchanger. Fluids in factorio are far from perfect. They have weird behaviour.Jan 7, 2019 · 8-core 1.1GW v4.1. signal-0. signal-8. nuclear-reactor. Details. This is a rock solid design that is self-priming. Just build it and supply fuel and it will start working. Circuit is based on a timer that prevents feeding fuel more often than it takes to burn it, as well as a steam threshold. The BP is set to refill at 20K steam (measured at 2 ...Each exchanger produces enough steam for 1.7 turbines on average, or 103 steam/s at full load dumped into pipes. Putting a turbine immediately after a heat exchange reduces pressure to 43 steam/s dumped into pipes. A line of pipes can only withstand so much steam per second, depending on distance. If you want smaller designs with 4, 3, 2 or 1 ...In your setups the refueling can trigger while the reactor is still running. I don't control the fueling of the reactor using steam or accumulators but rather I have one reactor that is designated as master. For the master the inserter removing the spend fuel cell is controlled by whatever method you prefer.Reactors are 100% more powerful for each neighboring reactor. A reactor with only 2 neighbors is only 75% as powerful as a reactor with 3 neighbors. The ideal reactor setup is a double-file line of reactors infinitely long, with enough heat exchangers and turbines on the side of each pair to support them.Consider isolating a 2x3 section and make everything it needs fit in the vertical space of the 3 reactors. Then you can make it tileable. You can fit the water pumps for each 2x3 reactor inline too, either with "safe waterfill" mod, water pumpjacks mod, or just building the nuclear power plant on a lake with a lot of landfill.

Connect at least 7 water pumps. Manually insert two Fuel cells in each rector for startup. Robot based, but can be easily retrofitted with belts. Fuel economizer: Fuel cells are inserted into Reactors only when Steam tank storage goes below 100K steam. Power plant goes online, when accumulator charge goes below 20% (Configurable from Decider ...

A simple buffer for nuclear reactors uses a circuit network to control the inserters that provide the nuclear reactors with fuel cells. The inserters are only enabled if the amount of steam in the storage tanks (the buffer) is below a certain threshold. The wiki provides more details (see chapter: Always on!)Steam engines are the most basic electricity generator, available to the player at the start of the game. They produce electricity by consuming steam, using water pumped from an offshore pump that was heated to 165°C steam with boilers or to 500°C steam with heat exchangers. Steam that has a higher temperature than the maximum temperature of the …The inserter that takes the empty fuel cell out waits for a signal (steam < set amount (around 60% of the total capacity)). It then takes out the fuel cell, which pulses a signal through to the inserter that fills the reactor (maximum stack capacity set to 1 so it won't fill the reactor with 3 cells).Re: "Laid back" compact 2x1 -> 2x2 nuclear reactor. by qwr » Tue Dec 28, 2021 9:27 am. Very nice and space compact design which should be able to produce enough energy to handle 100 SPM factories. As you said, the setups "waste" a few turbines (4 turbines for 2x1 reactor setup, 13 for 2x2 reactor setup according to https://wiki.factorio.com ...4 reactors should give you 1500MW of energy because of 0.25 neighbor bonus in K2. In 1000 seconds, that's 1500GJ of energy. Each heat exchanger converts 50MW of heat and 250 water into 250 units of steam per second. In (20 / 4 * 200) = 1000 seconds, we make 30 * 1000 * 250 = 7.5M units of steam, as expected. Each turbine eats 50 steam and spits ...Steam Community: Factorio. Nuclear Power is finally here!!! Let's check out builds, ratios, and how to get uranium working for us! Designs for 1, 2, and 4 reactors, as well as blueprints for all, including the add-on reactors,In stage three, even a small uranium patch will yield enough nuclear fuel that you can run a 1GW (8 reactor) setup for HUNDREDS of hours. A 1GW "unregulated" setup uses 8 u238 every 200 sec, meaning one every 25 sec. You can keep up with this rate with just a handful of centrifuges making u235/238.Once you have a decent Kovarex setup your worries disappear. All i have is 1 assembler making Uranium Fuel Cells for 3x 1GW Nuclear Plants (BP found on this reddit for an 8x Reactor setup = 1GW each, finding big enough lakes to build it in without a water tile mod is the biggest challenge).This setup needs a manually insert the first cell in to the reactors but after that it's automatic. Now build the damn thing And you should end up with a fancy reactor that inserts new fuel to the reactor only when it's nearly out of steam and has enough storage to not waste most of the fuel cells inserted.Once warmed up no component in the setup will go below 500c. Heat pipes, exchangers, or reactors. If you add new, cold components to the setup they will draw heat off and drop things below 500c, but they will all warm back up to 500c eventually with reactors operating. That's the only exception.Design / Blueprint. And a final compact nuclear reactor, this time 2x3 : Compact, (almost) symmetrical, nicely rectangular (about 60x70) Substations on the outsides for tileability. reactor logic / logistics at the bottom, water intake at the top (so you can build it away from a lake) all inlets are separate connectors to 8 exchangers each, so ...This looks FUN!

Personally, i made my reactor setup 'smart'. Each reactor ( i dont use much power so i only have 4) has 3 separate tanks. First one is a overflow for the second, when the second begins draining the reactor is fed a fuel rod, and when the third begins draining the next reactor kicks in with the same 3 tank setup (and so on)If it does pass through, I think square reactors would be better. For example 36 reactors: with a 2X18 setup every reactor gets a neighbor bonus from the reactor in the same column, and every reactor, except for the 4 at the ends of the rows (which only get 1) gets 2 neighbor bonuses from the reactors right next to it in the same row.Water-based nuclear reators blueprints! Design / Blueprint. Made a couple of nuclear reactor setups for you gamers. Both are energy conservant - loads fuel cell only on low steam. To activate first (1.3 GJ) you need to have an item on a belt (steel chest by default) idk why i made it so complex. Second one (3.2 GJ) is just combinator switch, it ...I did a similar setup (posted in another nuclear thread) where I used 4 chests with a token for a multi reactor setup. The 4 chest signal 4 states: 1) steam is low. 2) all reactors have at least one fuel ready. 3) insert fuel (kind of a dummy state but 4 chests form a circle) 4) spend fuel removed from all reactors. label continents map Oct 13, 2020 ...
