Sorry about me not being on much. When I get up in the morning no body is on and I spend the rest of the time playing modded MC.

Wait.. is this an AAR?

Well if giving a small explanation of what I'm doing is an AAR then sure, but I'm rather doubtful it qualifies.

Getting started on a reactorcraft HTGR

I have decided that, instead of putting the info in the post itself, to take questions from anybody who wants to know more about what I'm doing. That way I can at the same time save myself time and better satisfy those with questions. It's easier to answer questions then it is to try to think of what people will ask. :p

This is a new and innoveted spam for spam.

Oh, thought you were talking about reddit.

Enderthermic pump

This is Extra utilities's pump. You place it right above the lava and supply it power and it'll suck up the lava, replacing source blocks with stone.

Activated division sigil

I had just finished activating this when this was taken. (To learn how to activate it, shift right click on an enchantment table)

Portal to the deep dark

This is how you get to the deep dark. You'll want to be very prepared for it, as in good armor and lots of torches. It's the equivalent to a dense ores age, but very dark and the mobs are twice as powerful as in the overworld. Also, stay in the dark for too long and you'll start taking damage that ignores armor.

Compressor

I needed diamonds, so I made this! Using IC2 and a stack of coal, you can make diamonds.

Microturbine

How I'll be powering my Extractor(No it's not how you thing I'm going to do it).

Graphene battery

This needed 2 stacks of diamonds, but can hold a whopping amount of power. I'll be using this to actually power my extractor. The microturbine is just feeding into it.

Filling station

You need this to fill super conductor wire from electricraft with coolant.

Refrigeration unit

This is how you make the coolant for the super conductor wires. You need ice and at the very least a gasoline engine with a 16:1 gearbox on it.

I've also moved my world onto a server to take a big load off of my computer. Modded MC can get quite heavy, so this was just in preparation.

Who was the lazy person who didn't replant the farms at Neoshinto?

Here's another update!

Jetpack

This is the highest tier jetpack from Simply Jetpacks. The higher tier jetpacks can allow for near creative flight when in hover mode.

Reactor regulation

This is a programmable rednet controller from MFR. Quite a complicated block, but what I'm using it for is super simple. (P.S. Props to PurpleMentat for showing how to do this in a video.) This thing is basically raising/lowering the control rods of the reactor depending on how much power I'm using, thus decreasing the amount of fuel I'm using. (Note: The PRC has to be below the port, with a cable connecting it to the port. Otherwise, it will not work properly.)

The settings of the PRC

How the rednet port of the reactor is set

The ME Controller

This is an essential part of any AE network. This block is pretty much the brain of the network, and you can also supply the network power through it(You can also use a power relay)using Rotary Craft shaft power, RF, MJ, EU, or Universal Electricity. Your choice! (Note: You CAN NOT have more then one controller per network, otherwise the network will not work)

The ME Drive

This block is where you put your storage drives. Each one can hold 10 drives. Each drive can store up to 63 types, but the amount of each item depends on the tier of the drive(A 16k is bigger then a 4k for example).

The ME Crafting terminal

This block allows you to access your network as well as providing a handy crafting grid that will pull straight out of the network the items for whatever you are crafting.

The GUI of the crafting terminal

(Ignore the Fluid Storage text)

Cart assembler

This block allows you to craft up carts from Steves Carts. (Note: The carts can take hours of IRL time to assemble)
It can be given upgrades to increase fuel efficiency, decrease assembly time, etc etc.

I present to you...

The Big reactor

Big Reactors are highly reliant on the placing of the rods and the "coolants" inside. In this one, I have cryotheum in between the rods and resonant ender everywhere else. It can produce 17k Rf/t. It can produce more if I turned it into a Active cooled reactor, but I don't have the resources for that just yet.

FTB Lets Play

Sorry about the delay. Had some technical difficulties.

Ender Lilies!

Found these as dungeon loot! Growable enderpearls! (The Ender Cores were not fun to make btw. Took forever to get the enderpearls for them)
Growing Ender Lilies on Ender Cores makes them grow faster and respond better to growth accelerators. (Still can't use bonemeal though).

Chunkloader

This is a chunkloader. It will keep the chunks it is in loaded even when you aren't there, allowing any machines in those chunks to keep working, crops keep growing, etc etc.

Gasoline Engine

This is the next step up from a steam engine. It runs off of ethanol crystals and will make our Grinder take half as much time to do it's job.

Storage

Storage for all the Geostrata stone we've been getting. I'll be wanting to use it later...

Flux capacitor

The battery of Thermal Expansion, it can also charge any items in your inventory that uses RF. You can charge it in a capacitor bank from Ender IO or a Energetic Infuser from Thermal Expansion.

Ender Quarry

Whoo boy this sucker was annoying to craft, and expensive! It is much like a quarry, except for a few key differences.
1. Will only load the chunk it is in and the chunk it is currently mining out
2. Uses RF, not MJ.
3. You set it's mining area with fences.
4. Has a near infinite limit as far as it's mining boundary, unlike the quarry's 64x64.
5. Instead of leaving a chasm, it replaces everything it mines with dirt.
6. Mines like a mining well, doing a column at a time. So you'll get diamonds a lot quicker!

I will begin massive power gen within the next day or so.

Iron chest

This is an iron chest. The iron chest mod allows you to make your chests bigger and bigger, even allowing you to upgrade them in place!

Blast Furnace

This is a Blast Furnace from Rotary Craft. It is needed for a couple of things in RotaryCraft, including making HSLA Steel, a needed component in many machines.

Drying racks

These useful items from Tinkers Construct allows you to turn things like rotten flesh into an edible food source. Just right click the rack with the flesh in your hand and wait for it to turn into Monster jerky.

Yum!

Trash cans

A super cheap and useful item, it will void any item you put into it. So be careful shift clicking into it!
P.S. It can be piped into!

IC2 rubber tree

IC2's version of the rubber tree is slightly different from MFR's. Using a tree tap, you right click on the orange spots to get sticky resin, which can be smelted into a piece of rubber, or turned into three rubber with a extractor from IC2.

Canola seeds

You get these from breaking tall grass. You can plant them and, when broken, will give you more canola seeds. When put into a grinder, it'll give you lubricant, which is used for a couple engines and almost all the gearboxes in Rotarycraft. Having a farm of these isn't a bad idea!

Leadstone energy cell

Thermal Expansion's lowest tier form of energy storage, it can be shift right clicked and moved around, while keeping it's energy! It can also be upgraded without you losing any energy.

Magnetite

Remember that fusion reactor? You'll need about 10k of this stuff to make it. Better start stockpiling it early!

Rotary Craft work table

This is used to craft all of Rotary Craft's machines and engines.

Rotary craft handbook

You'll want to make this as it'll be your best friend in rotary craft. It tells you everything you need to know about rotarycraft and it's equipment/machines/engines.

Rotary craft grinder

This machine can be used to make lubricant and to triple your ores. It's not too hard to power, just need to apply a little bit of brain power!

Aqueous Accumulator

This block from Thermal Expansion will passively gain water over time. If you put a block of water on two sides of it, it'll gain water way faster. You can pipe out of it using any liquid pipe.

The setup for ore processing

I have a steam engine from rotary craft at the back, with a fluiduct piping water into it from the aqueous accumulator. Underneath the engine is a piece of lit netherrack. Connected to the engine is a diamond 4:1 gearbox set to torque, which is then connected to the grinder. This allows the grinder to run, albeit slowly. But you can pipe in and out of the grinder. :p
Notes:
1. YOU NEED WATER PIPING INTO THE STEAM ENGINE, OTHERWISE IT WILL EXPLODE
2. You CAN use lava under the steam engine, but you will need a cooling fin on the steam engine, otherwise, well, boom.
3. I could have used a lower tier gearbox(like steel or stone), but diamond ones only need one bucket of lubricant and doesn't use it up.
4. All rotary craft machines can be sped up by putting in more RAD/s.
5. One steam engine can power 4 grinders, but you'll need shaft junctions and a 16:1 gearbox set to torque. I also imagine they'll be quite slow.
6. I am on purpose not explaining a lot of tinkers construct as it is difficult to explain via text. I highly recommend finding tutorials on it on youtube.
