#Factorio nuclear reactor setup how to#
The steam is the answer to how to control your reactor's output. The only time the reactor does not generate energy is when it reaches its resting point, and how quickly it reaches this point depends on how quickly its energy is being converted to steam via the heat exchanges. You can use a simple timer, a storage tank, and the reactor's inserter.Īfter the fuel in a reactor is spent, the reactor's temperature slowly falls to just above operating temperature, all while still generating usable energy. If you are familiar with using circuits in factorio, you notice that it is impossible to attach wires on any reactor, turbine, or heat exchange, so it is impossible to check a turbine's output nor turn the reactor off at will. More critically, reactors do not throttle themselves when their potential energy is left unused, which leads to the question- can your fuel be conserved? Unlike boilers, reactors must take time to warm up to operating temperature, and constantly use their fuel cells until they are spent. Unfortunately perfect square setups larger than 2x2 leave the internal reactors without places for inserters, so there is no possibility for automation, and this is where tiling becomes important.ĠeNqdmttu4kAMht9lrpNV5jzDq6yqKoUpjRSSbA5Vq4p333Aq3cUE21eIkn7j+T2/7UF8iZd6Sl1fNaNYfYlq3TaDWP3+EkO1bcr68Lfxs0tiJaox7UQmmnJ3eNdM6zqVfd6ncj22vdhnomo26UOs5P4pE6kZq7FKJ9TxzedzM+1eUj8/cBeSia4d5v9rm8O6MyuXOhOfh1ez32c3JEUghSWQJoAWIzJ4kFriWDzH元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元Zj4KhPpvsTbMjouHCOL58qCgdM9iu+oke5RfFOSRcGlI3SRheQKg6LTTRoIytBd6gl0w6WjlLFcZVB0ulEJlyZZ0K0aCfTApaOkiWxpMHhJd+v1PgkC6QYlXK+lVGw8JpdSs+VARU/3KOFLMSnpJiV8MSOlY+NR4ni2ODf4p+z008DVj18SZuI99cPxAa8LGbR3Mpr9/i95iov8 a 3x3 provides a +4 bonus, allowing for a total equivalence of 33 reactors with only 9 reactors, and a 4x4 could theoretically be the largest servicable reactor (not shown), which has 4 '+4' bonuses, totalling an equivalence of an incredible 64 reactors using only 16 reactors, which could produce a mind-boggling 40*64=2560MW, or 2.56GW! Like I said before, perfect squares would provide the most reactors with +4 neighbor bonuses.
#Factorio nuclear reactor setup plus#
Here a 2x2 reactor config gets the output of 4 from the reactors PLUS an extra 8 output because of the neighbor bonuses, resulting in an equivalence of 12 reactors, using only 4 reactors!
The goal is to get the highest number/bonus with the same number of reactors. Here I made several little diagrams where each square represents one reactor, and in each square is the bonus that reactor receives.
Therefore, the greatest output a reactor could have is with 3 neighbors and an open side for automated refueling. Because the reactor has 4 sides, a single reactor can have at most 200MW power output, or 5x its 40MW output, but the greatest flaw with this is that fuel must be inserted manually since there is no space around the reactor. This neighbor bonus, in essence, adds the power of each neighbor to itself. Then add the output of the other reactor and the power increased exponentially with a total of 160MW compared to the original 40MW. When two powered reactors are side-by-side, that same single nuclear reactor is now 80MW, or 8 exchangesand 14 turbines respectively.

As of this writing, power output for a single nuclear reactor is 40MW, which equates to approximately 4 heat exchanges and 7 turbines at full output.
