Right clicking on the reactor casing or turbine housing will display a message of what is missing. None of these blocks can be placed on the edge or corner they must be somewhere in the faces of the reactor, sometimes in very specific places. In addition to these containment blocks, a number of other blocks are necessary to make a functioning reactor or turbine. The edges of this box can be, but not necessarily built from Reactor Casing or Turbine Housing blocks, and the faces of Reactor Glass or Turbine Glass blocks, respectively.

Both reactors and turbines must be built as a closed, mostly hollow box with no holes and complete edges, including corners. Reactors and turbines are multi-block structures made up of individual blocks arranged according to specific rules, which together create a large functional machine. Time lapse assembly of a small Reactor Structure. It can also interface directly with ComputerCraft and RedNet. Systems with several multi-block structures of nearly infinite size can be built.īig Reactors greatly benefits from the support of mods which provide transport and fluid pipes such as BuildCraft. The minimum size of a reactor is 3×3×3 blocks whereas the minimum size of a working turbine is 5×6×5. The latter option is much more expensive, but also much more efficient. The specific arrangement and material of mod blocks in each multi-block structure determines the performance and behavior of the system as a whole.Ī power system can be built in one of two ways: a reactor can provide RF power directly, or a reactor can provide super-heated steam which is then pumped into a steam turbine to generate RF power. The Big Reactors mod adds multi-block power systems capable of providing large amounts of RF power to Minecraft.
