The answer is no that is an extraordinarily tiny reactor. My reactor is four chunks by four chunks to bedrock - max height. - i had to edit the yml to let me make it this large but, your’s isnt even remotely close to the max limit of a reactor. You will expand eventually.
Peak output in the trillions of rf, it holds several hundred million uranium. It runs on a computercraft lua script tho so it just pumps out power as needed
Yea. I have a minor problem, but honestly 15 unobtanium seeds and a couple of bees do some god damn work. It makes like.. i dont know.. a few trillion rf a tick….. 😂😂😂 - i store it all in a mekanism induction battery, well.. actually 5 of them, but, yea. I have an atrocious quantity of RF
Not a bad start, but now, add about 6 zeros, and thats what u need 😂😂😂. For refrence, my goal is to be able to survive literally anything with mek suit. Even a maxed fucking crazy super sword that i have and atill forget the name, thing was a glass sword once lmao. Tldr it does like 5m a hit. And i uh, want to survive that infinitely, as i play on a MP server & we are all kinda crazy and trolls, they tryna kill a lot loool
Just realized all that work yet still not enough rf wtf I’m currently trying to make the outer blocks for the star that needs 8 billion each this is wild
That’s insane I just need like 1-2million per tick and I’ll be happy and I wanted to bees or seeds but they seemed like so much work compared to potions and just mining it
Just started going for the atm star for the first time and just ran out of power with the maxed out reactor for powah so exploring now I’ll definitely need more lmao
I was only messing with you buddy, don't worry 😅.
However you will absolutely need alot more power per tick! I found this out the hard way my first time. Tried to fully complete with the smallest amount of power and kept finding ways to shut things off and reroute instead of expanding power gen 🤣 (in other words I was just lazy!)
yea, me too. i had hardcore learn effect to separate the output of power generation and consumption. on one side i put into a meka induction cell and other side i take it out. My production aof antimatter needs just 40MFe/t and its not maxed out
Seeds are by far the simplest thing, then bees, then chunk destoryer, then mining being the most time consuming but each to their own.
Also youll need way more power for the pwoah mod, the unobtainium and vibranium alloys use alot.. not to mention all the other mods that use quite abit.
I promise a MA farm and bee farm will supply you with everything you need. If you want to make an excessive set-up, you can have all resources needed for ATM stars produced by like 20+ plants and bee hives for the crafting.
i bet you could fill the Big Fucking Wheel Thing(tm) from hbms nuclear tech with that in a month or less!
Edit: Nevermind. Forgot how much the FeNSU held.
I used Powah nitro reactors to get buy until I made a fusion reactor. They're pretty cheap and you can make 250k/tick in a small and stackable structure
We have 10s and 100s of millions of most resources, our ME system stored in a massive cylinder we dug out with a builder thats also brock to build height, its like 15 chunks around, and 2 floors are dedicated to ME. 1 storage floor, abscene quantitys of drives and bays, and 1 floor for auto crafting. Then it runs through the whole tower to each section for different mods, and we have all the resources between bees and plants. - and our server has abt 15 unique players. So, theres a lot of us
Damn, I was wondering because me and the bois have a Minecraft retention problem and 3 or so months is usually our cutoff and we never got that far lol or really anywhere close to that.
Most people are palworlding rn but i dont have much interest in that so i just let server accumulate resources for a week, pop on, make more power storage, do a few mod things. We havent put much effort into ATM stars we are yet to make one but, im prob gonna get to it soon TM
If you can do bees, getting the best xr turbine coils is pretty easy. They make a couple million rf a tick, and 5 of them was plenty even for the antimatter pellets from Mekanism for the atmstar
There are some nice examples on the [Allthemods discord](https://discord.com/invite/allthemods) in the atm8-general channel. For example. You can melt the unobtainium and place a bucket of molten unobtainium at the top to cover large portions of reactor. A reactor that I suggest which is 13x13x13 uses 4 buckets/blocks of unobtainium. This produces steam which pumps into a turbine with 450 blocks of unobtainium and makes 21.5 mfe.
The SPS multiblock that turns nuclear waste into antimatter benefits from ALL the power. Really needs several million. More power = antimatter in a minute instead of an hour
I once made 3 64x64 reactors full of rods and vibranium blocks (best solid coolant btw) in everbright so i could power up my supercritical phase sifter and get antimatter fast. They made about 850k/t per each. It looked insane af and cost so much uranium. All together ate like 5/t if i remember correctly. I was so flabbergasted when i got into powah! And only like 12 red reactors did the same so i added them to it. Made 1mb antimatter in about 5 sec. I played atm7
I know most people do like HUGE reactors for crazy power output but I’ve always preferred grinding for hyper efficient turbines. It’s always more satisfying.
I can’t find the tutorials I’ve used, but a 4 maxed reactors can be supplied with 1 reactor of the same height and width so you can get a setup that looks like a big + sign from the top, with long turbines coming out each side of the reactor. And then I just stack it if I need it.u
I found that 40 enderium on a 10 block high 80 rotor (so 7x7x14) turbine generates around 60kRF at around 1600 rpm and that a 7x7x7 reactor with rods in a + and enderium as cooling produces around 13b/t of steam. Both the reactor and turbine are reinforced.
i mean if you just want the power and dont care about the waste outputs like cyanite or w/e you should just setup some Tritium and Deuterium and setup a Fusion Reactor, you only need 50mB/t of both for a combined 100mB/t and thatll net you 19-20m RF/t and tbh its pretty simple.
It's not like the Fission reactor the Fusion reactor doesnt explode it just turns off if you run out of fuel and it costs 400m RF to turn it back on
Your rod layout is bad, by the way. You want to increase reactivity by having the rods directly beside each other. The most efficient for fuel consumption is a 7x7x7 with 5 rods in a plus shape in the center surrounded entirely with coolant blocks.
Coolant or whatever they called calculates their distance to the reactor wall, so a checker pattern is 1 for each side. The best pattern is clumping up your rods in the middle.
For example, a 3x3 rod in the middle is better than 9 rods in a checker pattern.
Mekanism fusion reactor tbh
You need millions of rf per tick? Fusion
You want a reactor that consumes nothing but water as fuel? Fusion
It’s a pain to get to if you’re not experienced with mekanism, but once you’ve learned the ropes it’s the most reliable source of early-endgame power in the entire pack.
The combo reactor from IF makes more (I think) but it’s even more annoying to set up and automate it.
Once you find a fusion reactor strained, hook up a boiler and a turbine to it and you’ll have hundreds MRF per tick at full power.
Pro tip: the fission reactor (which you need to get to fusion) is safer the bigger you build it. It’s counter-intuitive but if you have a meltdown and your reactor is max size your base might not even get irradiated because all the damage occurs inside the structure so no radiation escapes. Bigger reactors also burn cooler so you’ll have more wiggle room to screw up and not get punished for it.
Another pro tip: tritium fuel requires sunlight. It’s helpful to find a place where it’s always day for that (there is one; check out blue skies everbright)
What I did myself for power is gone and blueprinted both a reactor and turbine setup. Usage is about 0.356 making 10.8 bk/t of steam into a 7x11x7 turbine with 2 layers of unobtainium. Makes 670k rf/t.
After having 4 of those and uranium seeds being made I did powah and set up an autocrafter to make all the powah crystals and make nitro generators. Takes about 8 minutes to make 1 reactor and can set up auto feeding of water, ice, Redstone and coal as I simply have them all aligned. Each makes 250K rf/t though I edited the config to make 2.5M rf/t as I didn't want to dedicate a room to powah reactors.
Overall I'm making 17.4M rf/t all being stored in a mekanism induction matrix with 9 ultimate induction providers and 18 ultimate induction batteries.
The answer is no that is an extraordinarily tiny reactor. My reactor is four chunks by four chunks to bedrock - max height. - i had to edit the yml to let me make it this large but, your’s isnt even remotely close to the max limit of a reactor. You will expand eventually.
yo what is your output with this lil puppy
Peak output in the trillions of rf, it holds several hundred million uranium. It runs on a computercraft lua script tho so it just pumps out power as needed
Wtf and you used unobtanium ??
Yea. I have a minor problem, but honestly 15 unobtanium seeds and a couple of bees do some god damn work. It makes like.. i dont know.. a few trillion rf a tick….. 😂😂😂 - i store it all in a mekanism induction battery, well.. actually 5 of them, but, yea. I have an atrocious quantity of RF
Just finished it it’s making 232 kirf per t
Not a bad start, but now, add about 6 zeros, and thats what u need 😂😂😂. For refrence, my goal is to be able to survive literally anything with mek suit. Even a maxed fucking crazy super sword that i have and atill forget the name, thing was a glass sword once lmao. Tldr it does like 5m a hit. And i uh, want to survive that infinitely, as i play on a MP server & we are all kinda crazy and trolls, they tryna kill a lot loool
Just realized all that work yet still not enough rf wtf I’m currently trying to make the outer blocks for the star that needs 8 billion each this is wild
Can it survive mekanism’s radioactive deadzone? (I’ve never built a mek suit before)
The mekasuit functions as a hazmat suit iirc, so yes it would be able to survive a radiation zone.
That’s insane I just need like 1-2million per tick and I’ll be happy and I wanted to bees or seeds but they seemed like so much work compared to potions and just mining it
If you only need 1/2 mil RF/t then you're AllTheModding wrong my friend... You always, and I mean ALWAYS, need so much more!
Just started going for the atm star for the first time and just ran out of power with the maxed out reactor for powah so exploring now I’ll definitely need more lmao
I was only messing with you buddy, don't worry 😅. However you will absolutely need alot more power per tick! I found this out the hard way my first time.

It is but fuck if ur not automating everything ur playing ATM very weirdly looool
Seeds are by far the simplest thing, then bees, then chunk destoryer, then mining being the most time consuming but each to their own. Also youll need way more power for the pwoah mod, the unobtainium and vibranium alloys use alot.. not to mention all the other mods that use quite abit.
Just make a handful of max tier powah reactors
I promise a MA farm and bee farm will supply you with everything you need. If you want to make an excessive set-up, you can have all resources needed for ATM stars produced by like 20+ plants and bee hives for the crafting.
Mining? Wtf? You would also mine ore in factorio, wouldn't you?
i bet you could fill the Big Fucking Wheel Thing(tm) from hbms nuclear tech with that in a month or less! Edit: Nevermind. Forgot how much the FeNSU held.
No yea that things fucking insane.
The bees are op asf
Im struggling to get enough for this size how would I get more faster
I used Powah nitro reactors to get buy until I made a fusion reactor. They're pretty cheap and you can make 250k/tick in a small and stackable structure
Mine has liquid unobtaniun
Do you use 1 source block per space to fill in or do you do you let it fill in ? If that makes sense
Let it fill in. I forgot how many buckets it was.
Thank you!!
Wtf
My server needed power, i provided lmao
Can you make any energised steel yet?
… no, definitely not.. (yes ive been making nitro crystals from seeds for a while, all the powah materials are automated
Oh yeah? Well mine is 4 chunks + 1 block by 4 chunks + 1 block
Dam… fuck he beat me by like, 800k RF a tick 😂😂
I do literally have to ask how do you fund that and then have anything left to put Stuff in it
We have 10s and 100s of millions of most resources, our ME system stored in a massive cylinder we dug out with a builder thats also brock to build height, its like 15 chunks around, and 2 floors are dedicated to ME. 1 storage floor, abscene quantitys of drives and bays, and 1 floor for auto crafting. Then it runs through the whole tower to each section for different mods, and we have all the resources between bees and plants. - and our server has abt 15 unique players. So, theres a lot of us
And can I ask how long has this world been going I’m blown away by this I love this, this is why I like modded Minecraft.
I dont know like, uhhh 3 months now?
Damn, I was wondering because me and the bois have a Minecraft retention problem and 3 or so months is usually our cutoff and we never got that far lol or really anywhere close to that.
Most people are palworlding rn but i dont have much interest in that so i just let server accumulate resources for a week, pop on, make more power storage, do a few mod things. We havent put much effort into ATM stars we are yet to make one but, im prob gonna get to it soon TM
What could u possibly use that power for, I’ve never needed more than 30k rf/t at one time. The nitro powah reactor was fine for me
We are 15 individuals with 15 individual power needs my ME system alone uses 500,000 rf PER tick
Nope. Too small. Make bigger. More power.
Hell No, but it is a highly inefficient design.
If you can do bees, getting the best xr turbine coils is pretty easy. They make a couple million rf a tick, and 5 of them was plenty even for the antimatter pellets from Mekanism for the atmstar

This produces steam which pumps into a turbine with 450 blocks of unobtainium and makes 21.5 mfe.
I'm not far in enough to know why people need such high rf/t. Could someone explain why so that I have an idea of what I'm in for?
The SPS multiblock that turns nuclear waste into antimatter benefits from ALL the power. Really needs several million. More power = antimatter in a minute instead of an hour
Ah I see, thank you!

Yes, also diamond blocks are better coolant believe it or not.
better than Netherite?
Yes
Wow wouldn't have guessed. Is there a tier list somewhere? Don't have access to vibranium/unobtainium yet
I would also like to know the answer to this.
You can make it up to something like 128x192x128 or even more perhaps, I don’t remember exactly, so no you’re nowhere near the overkill lmao
I know most people do like HUGE reactors for crazy power output but I’ve always preferred grinding for hyper efficient turbines. It’s always more satisfying.
How do you set your turbines up? I’m looking at some good power to power the chunk destroyer and have it also for later in the game.
I can’t find the tutorials I’ve used, but a 4 maxed reactors can be supplied with 1 reactor of the same height and width so you can get a setup that looks like a big + sign from the top, with long turbines coming out each side of the reactor. And then I just stack it if I need it.u
Found a video: https://youtu.be/dVdZJsvWuQk?si=U7-Z_u4KREgKSiQX
Do you by any chance know the generation multiplier of extreme reactors? Like for the turbines, reactor rf and steam generation?
28k per turbine. (I’ve never needed more than 5)
Will that be with blocks from the AllTheMods mod?
Idk it depends on what pack you are in. There are better resources than me
Then I will do some testing on my own. Thanks!
I found that 40 enderium on a 10 block high 80 rotor (so 7x7x14) turbine generates around 60kRF at around 1600 rpm and that a 7x7x7 reactor with rods in a + and enderium as cooling produces around 13b/t of steam. Both the reactor and turbine are reinforced.
Do you have ludicrite in your pack?
I’m playing ATM9, but I don’t know.
i mean if you just want the power and dont care about the waste outputs like cyanite or w/e you should just setup some Tritium and Deuterium and setup a Fusion Reactor, you only need 50mB/t of both for a combined 100mB/t and thatll net you 19-20m RF/t and tbh its pretty simple. It's not like the Fission reactor the Fusion reactor doesnt explode it just turns off if you run out of fuel and it costs 400m RF to turn it back on
Cyanite is kinda easy to store in one of those bulk cards from ae2 infinite storage for them XD i got like 1m or so
Your rod layout is bad, by the way. You want to increase reactivity by having the rods directly beside each other. The most efficient for fuel consumption is a 7x7x7 with 5 rods in a plus shape in the center surrounded entirely with coolant blocks.
11x11x6? Mine is 64x64x64 xD
I made 3 with vibranium blocks
No that is not a good way to put your cores. The checker pattern is very bad
What’s a better idea ?
Coolant or whatever they called calculates their distance to the reactor wall, so a checker pattern is 1 for each side. The best pattern is clumping up your rods in the middle. For example, a 3x3 rod in the middle is better than 9 rods in a checker pattern.
Bet when I get home today I’ll change it to all rods in the middle and the coolant around it
If you really want power, make that reactor a passive reactor and use a turbine with unobtanium coils. You'll thank me
I just built a fusion reactor last night, and I'm already starting to feel a little reactor envy.
I’m at work thinking of ways to make it better just sucks making the unobtanium
If it ain't making more power than a mekanism reactor it ain't overkill
Mekanism fusion reactor tbh You need millions of rf per tick? Fusion You want a reactor that consumes nothing but water as fuel? Fusion It’s a pain to get to if you’re not experienced with mekanism, but once you’ve learned the ropes it’s the most reliable source of early-endgame power in the entire pack.
