This is a port of the 1.7.10 mod Big Reactors, by Erogenous Beef. The name was changed as for Curse request
You can build multiblock machines to produce power, be that Redstone Flux or Tesla
Giants Reactors to harness the power of the atom or mighty Turbines to turn steam into energy? Why not both?
This first release is an almost 1:1 port of the 1.7.10 version and it will be the starting point for the evolution of the mod
Notable changes since 1.7.10 :
- All the multiblock parts come in tiers. Right now only the Legacy Tier is enabled and it mimic the behavior of the 1.7.10 blocks
- You will find two new ores in some remote dimensions... Collect their drop, they will come handy later one
- the Cyanite Reprocessor is gone: it will be replaced by a multiblock machine in future version. We put in a temporary recipe to convert 9 Cyanite ingots into 1 Blutonium ingot
- added support for the Tesla power API on MC 1.10.2. You need to build your reactor or turbine use the Tesla power tap instead of the RF one (no, you can't use both on the same machine)
- all the "devices" (controllers, ports, etc) can be placed on any face of the reactors. The fuel assemblies (control rod + fuel rods) can be placed in any direction (up-down, south-north, east-west), but only in one direction per-reactor (you can't have crisscrossing rods)
- the fuel rods now render the waste too if present (cynite if you use yellorium as fuel for example) with a litte and hopefully nice animation. So use glass in your reactor :)
- added support for Modularity fluids to replaces the ones from Thermal Expansion (please keep in mind that Modularity is still being worked on the the fluids may not yet be available in the public release) and a bunch of metals from TiC to be used in the Turbine
DEPENDENCIES
Extreme Reactor require ZeroCore to work. Please add it to your mod folder
Optionally, you should add the last version of the Tesla power API to your mod folder to use Tesla as your power system [MC 1.10.2+]

Hello, would it be possible to add coolant support for Heavy Water from the Mekanism mod? In real life, heavy water has a higher neutron moderation compared to light water, which means it could boost the power output.
In reply to rryyas:
I'll check it and figure out the correct power parameters for it.
Thank you for the suggestion
Hey, it'd be great if you could Open Source this, I'd like to fork it and work on some things for the 1.12.2 edition, such as tiers.
Hello! I am very sorry for this question, but is any update planned? I mean, it is almost 5 months since the last update came, is the mod abandoned or we just need to way a bit more?
In reply to JackRaidenPH:
I'm rewriting things for 1.14.x and it's taking a long time
In reply to ZeroNoRyouki:
remember people use 1.12.2 a lot in modding because a reason that im not sure of
Hi, is it possible to add new coolant from other mod? Thanks :)
In reply to loloelsupremo:
Yup, there is an API for that

In reply to ZeroNoRyouki:
This api ? : https://github.com/ZeroNoRyouki/BigReactors/blob/master/src/main/java/erogenousbeef/bigreactors/api/registry/Reactants.java
In reply to loloelsupremo:
Yup
Please add radiation emitted by reactors and hazmat suit ;)
I think it will add some reality to game
Hi! Thanks for making this excellent mod! I found that I can look up in JEI which blocks / fluids can be placed within a reactor (as coolant etc) however, I can't seem to find any information on most of the substances. Is this something that's viewable in-game, or does one have to search on the config files of the mod the substance comes from? I'm hoping there's a better way ^^
As a note this is in ATM 3 Remix. It's been really interesting to have to earn the power of extreme reactors with these recipes xD and have to provide a more tangible amount of materials for fuel (compared to usual.) Way to go! But that's what drives me here to seek your help - with this kind of material cost, it behooves one to try to build the best possible reactor ;)
In reply to REBMinES:
You are welcome :)
The JEI plugin does not come from me, and it is something I don't like too much... The idea behind ER is that you test by yourself which block in your (custome or not) modpack work best for you. I'm thinking about adding a machine in 1.14 to help you "discover" stuff but nothing is set in stone right now
Other mods can add their blocks to the Reactor with their own parameters so there is no "best" material in absolute terms, it all depends on what there is in your pack.
Maybe start from a smallish Reactor and test thing out, discover how energy is produced and then scale things up.
Have fun :)

In reply to ZeroNoRyouki:
I already decided my second reactor will be 1 block tall on the inside, and its purpose will be experimentation ^^
This is going to be fun! thanks for your reply and have a good one!
In reply to REBMinES:
That's the way to go! :)
Have fun,
Z
I have a problem with saving the structures: if I start a new minecraft game, I build the reactor, connect it to various turbines and start it up, EVERYTHING WITHOUT RESTARTING THE GAME in the meantime, the reactor has no problem. but, if even just starting the reactor after completing the system in a previous game session, it will start to heat up normally, forming steam, but the latter will no longer reach the turbines; occasionally the refrigerant, which apparently is pre-generated in the multi-block, disappears completely, also rendering vain attempts to reinsert it from the outside, for example with a tank. I tried to use tubes from three different mods, with the same result.
I still appreciate this mod because it offers, unlike many others, realistic reactors also aesthetically, so if someone has an explanation for all this I will wait impatiently for an answer.
In reply to mcdt19:
Witch version of ER / MC / Forge are you using?
The Reactor does not produce any refrigerant, you have to pump water in, either from some water source or by recycling the water from the Turbines after the steam condense.
You have to make sure you have enough water to produce enough steam to drive your Turbines to the specification you have set in each Turbine controller
In reply to ZeroNoRyouki:
Forge version: 14.23.5.2808
P.S. one of my test-reactor is ,actually, stable at 3850 °c, has the cooling tank full of water(not inserted by me) and does not produce any steam.
The exaust fluid water tank of the turbines are full of water too.
edit: I've tried to upgrade forge: now the reactor seems to work correctly
I like this mod! Update to 1.14 would be great.
In reply to TomHB:
Me too. I'm working on 1.14 but don't expect it soon
