Version 1.1 of my megaractor. This is the biggest reactor in Factorio that I'm aware of. It has 40 freaking reactors. It's maximum output is 5.4GW and the stable max output is about 4.2 GW. This reactor is by no means efficient or anything like that. I designed this reactor with one goal in mind; to make POWER.
This reactor requires 56 water pipes total. 6 on the East and West sides, and 22 on the North and South Sides. Personally, I find it easier to get the landfills together and build this reactor on a man made island so it already has water on all sides and therefore no need to run 56 pipes to the nearest lake.
The Fuel is inserted with the help of a logistic system. Just put your fuel cells in a provider chest and make a requester chest to get the empty cells out. You can easily connect the reactor to your current logistic system by placing a roboport near the Southwest corner of the reactor where it whould be able to connect with the roboports inside the reactor.
As you might notice, this is only version 1.1 of my megareactor. These are ideas that I plan to implement in future versions. Please feel free to comment additional suggestions.
- more water, 56 pipes is NOT enough
- tanks to act as a steam buffer
- maybe come circuit networking to optimize effeciency
- MORE POWER (5.4GW is nowhere near enough)
You can hook this reactor up to your bases power pretty much by placing a big electric pole basically anywhere near the edge of any part of the reactor.
Please Please Please do not build this by hand. You do not deserve the suffering. If you don have the robots to build it for you, you should NOT be building this reactor. I built this in Factorio version 16.38 but it should work in every version that has reactors.
This is a small step towards the development of the holy and sacred ONE TERAWATT reactor.
But until that day, keep memeing -classicpickle
