The power creep in modded Minecraft is real; we've gone from nuclear fission reactors and super-compact solar panels that, while powerful, are still needed in multiples to power the most energy-demanding machines (including hyper-overclocked basic processing machines and mass-fabs)...to potentially ludicrously powerful fusion reactors that can probably fulfill an entire server's power needs...

For Mekanism being rather late game stuff, you can attain your first jetpack incredibly fast, you just need to mine some basic ores and power an infuser, an enrichment chamber and the electrolytic separator. Setting up the separator with the water supply is the hardest part, you can still get this done before even having to mine diamonds or enter the nether.
Thank you for the good tips. I built a gigantic (and by gigantic I mean multiple hundred blocks wide) nuclear fusion facility to power my mod project, but I constantly had problems with everything working only on round about half its efficiency, thanks to your video I found out this was because I used D-T fuel for the reactor. Also I didn‘t know that the injection rate has to be an even number; when I tried to change it to 3 to test it, nothing happened, so I thought it was broken and didn‘t try again. But now I know better. (Also, if someone wondered, “Hohlraum“ is a german word, which means “empty space“)
I dont know which version this is, but on Mekanism minecraft 1.19.2 you can just use 2-4 Resistive Heater on max power to heat the fusion reactor. it costs much less ressource to just build them instead of a big laser matrix and heating it up just takes about 1-2 minutes xD
Wow. These things have been nerfed hard since last I played. Was messing around in a creative world (Plexiglass Mountain, 1.18.2). Basically, a bigger Turbine is always better. I tried messing with smaller turbines for space efficiency, but when it comes to burning fuel, you get way more bang for the buck with just making enormous turbines. Even then, the most I could squeeze from a 15x15x18 (keeping the boundaries within a chunk) was 43.14MFE/t, burning Deuterium/Tritium at full injection, which is a hell of a far cry from the some hundreds of millions they used to generate. Trying to build four 7x7x18 turbines (again, chunk boundaries), I could only run two effectively at an injection rate of 86. Each was only providing 13.53MFE/t. The hope was to produce enough steam to get 4 turbines in the same relative footprint for a bit more power, but that would necessitate doubling up on both fuel production and reactors to produce enough steam. It should be noted that you can effectively go closed loop after the initial setup. Once the reactor and the burn rate are set, from what I'm seeing in my test world, you no longer need an external source of water for steam. You will, however, need to hook a pipe up to several vents for water retrieval. A lot of video's seem to just place one mechanical pipe on a vent and return it to the fusion reactor, but that doesn't return all the water from the turbine. None of this is a problem as such, it just makes producing Antimatter a little more "deliberate".
DT fuel is needed for the fusion reactor however it is more efficient to have it mix together within the reactor like in the video. DT fuel is only used for the fusion reactor. It's just up to you to make it before it enters the machine or have it be made internally
I've seen 200MFE, 400MFE and 800MFE. I haven't tested all the minimum myself but it's easier to say do the most possible since modpack authors can change what is required
Is it worth it to make a cooled reactor instead of a normal one ? Normally it creates more on its own and if water cooled you need turbine. So does it gives more power while using turbines in addition to reactor
@@Mondays3 my burn rate was maximum. I ended up getting 8 MFE out of them by directly pumping in the combined DT fuel, but still not enough to make them worth running *instead* of the fission reactor (I get about 60-70 MFE out of the max size fission reactor with 4 turbines and 4 boilers) but its decent supplemental power.
Old video. Mixing skills were worse back then. However, looking back it's only 1 honk transition that's bad. Not the popping ones. This is the first someone has complained about the pops. Sorry for your ears xD
Because when you water cool a fusion reactor, you can produce enough steam from that one reactor to power up to 8 maximum (17×17×17) steam turbines. With that setup the water cooled fusion reactor and the steam turbines create about 5 times more power than an air cooled fusion reactor.
I dont get it, you gain almost 20Mfe per tick from passive energy then why you want steam? Is it really making more than that overall? You only get around 10MFe per tick with water cooling and steam turbine combined but there was still steam left so thats why I'm asking.
Just use the heat from the air cooled fusion reactor to power a boiler to give steam to a turbine it is just better with more power water cooled is not that good
I know I’m a little bit late, but the steam turbine can only use 1.7 million mb/t of steam and the reactor produces 14.7 million mb/t so you can put more than 8 of those turbines, which resolutes to around 45 MFe/t.
Why do your videos have to include honking sound (ex: 14:25) to spook your audience? It is unnecessarily loud and it adds not value to the video what s/e.
@@Mondays3 I dug a bit and it seems the Turbines can produce way more power than the standalone reactor, however, who knows if anyone would even need that much power generation lol.

I've seen this reactor in an underground facility blowing up on a RUclips video, and it created a massive hole reaching the surface
14:21 jesus christ that jumpscared me
Same bro from two years ago
You’re probably the best youtube I’ve seen cover this mod
Thank you very much. Glad I can help!
Not probably. He is lol
You only need 400MFe into your laser amplificator in order to power your fusion reactor. Except for this little error it's a really helpful video👍
This setup looks good! A bit of overkill perhaps but should work for the entire lifetime. Will use it.
Brine truly is always the bottleneck.
Overkill is the only way in minecraft isn't it?
It's overkill until you need to feed the CFS Xd

Amazing Video! I was scared od overheating the reactor actually xD
But you showed me you cant
Yeah only the fission reactor can explode
9/10 tutorial. Entertaining and well put, horn sounds make my dog angry tho
The horn is always my favourite bit to add since no one knows when it is coming. I have dialled it down since this video however xD

thats a lot a word for a comment
Couldn't agree more. I haven't done as much testing but it's hard to get true massive power with turbines
Hey man nice video! So the Reactor doesnt really need DT-fuel except at the start? what else can you do with DT-fuel? or need DT-fuel?
DT fuel is needed for the fusion reactor however it is more efficient to have it mix together within the reactor like in the video. DT fuel is only used for the fusion reactor. It's just up to you to make it before it enters the machine or have it be made internally
What kind of waila do you have, so you can see how full the waste barrels are
You just sneak when looking at it.
how did you make the texture of the mekanism stay connected like this in 3:24
I’m using optifine and that has connected textures
Thank you for the teaching!
Any time!
Thank for tutorial man 👍
But you should use dynamic tank instead of chemical tank
Absolutely! They are just placeholder buffer storage for tutorial purposes. For large buffers, definitely dynamic storage tanks
they really need to make what most other mods have, an infinity cable, moving only 3.6 mfe when your reactor is pushing 10mfe is wild
add 2 more ports then.
You only have to use 800 MFE to jumpstart the reactor.
I've seen 200MFE, 400MFE and 800MFE. I haven't tested all the minimum myself but it's easier to say do the most possible since modpack authors can change what is required
As far as I know the modpack which I used to test that does not change the amount of energy needed to start the reactor
thank you for making this video, but what is the size of your steam generator?
I assume you mean the steam turbine? In this video I am now too sure. Maybe 10x10 or something but the maximum size they can go is 17x17x17
Is it worth it to make a cooled reactor instead of a normal one ? Normally it creates more on its own and if water cooled you need turbine. So does it gives more power while using turbines in addition to reactor
Your video helped me a lot!
So happy to help
after this thing you can lend power to creative mode players 😂
Your videos are great!
Please make one about the Mahou tsukai mod
Never heard of that mod but maybe one day
So this can generate 10-20x more power than the draconic reactor and is much more sefer
It's still an omega big setup
@@Mondays3 but the draconic reactor can destroy your entire country and this fusion reactor can't hurt a fly
My fusion reactor doesn't make more than 500 KFe/t when water cooled, and 800 KFe/t when air cooled. any idea why that is?
Up your burn rate
@@Mondays3 my burn rate was maximum. I ended up getting 8 MFE out of them by directly pumping in the combined DT fuel, but still not enough to make them worth running *instead* of the fission reactor (I get about 60-70 MFE out of the max size fission reactor with 4 turbines and 4 boilers) but its decent supplemental power.
Welcome back
Thank you so much!
You should make it so I don't get earraped every time you change scenes.
Old video. Mixing skills were worse back then. However, looking back it's only 1 honk transition that's bad. Not the popping ones. This is the first someone has complained about the pops. Sorry for your ears xD
Whats the point of the turbine? if you make more power with the reactor.
You don't need it, it's just an option. You can use it for extra water for fission reactor for polonium?
Because when you water cool a fusion reactor, you can produce enough steam from that one reactor to power up to 8 maximum (17×17×17) steam turbines. With that setup the water cooled fusion reactor and the steam turbines create about 5 times more power than an air cooled fusion reactor.
Mk stands for million kelvin
somehow it won't pump water into my reactor
I dont get it, you gain almost 20Mfe per tick from passive energy then why you want steam? Is it really making more than that overall? You only get around 10MFe per tick with water cooling and steam turbine combined but there was still steam left so thats why I'm asking.
Totally agree. I think you would have to rig something very bespoke for that
Just use the heat from the air cooled fusion reactor to power a boiler to give steam to a turbine it is just better with more power water cooled is not that good
If you want to generate antimatter, the steam is very useful for mega amounts of water
I know I’m a little bit late, but the steam turbine can only use 1.7 million mb/t of steam and the reactor produces 14.7 million mb/t so you can put more than 8 of those turbines, which resolutes to around 45 MFe/t.
@@sushimampfer This was actually a super useful comment, thank you.
Cool but i doesnt make sense. I need reactor to craft fusion reactor frame. wtf :/
You need a fission reactor for the fusion reactor. They are 2 different reactors and the fusion reactor is much stronger and safer
24:10 linear
My reactor lose heat why?
Actually have no clue. How is it linked together?
Why is there random harmonica noises In your videos? It keeps jump scarring me a little haha. Love the video otherwise!
Yeah that was intentional. It's actually a car horn sped up 200%. I've dialled it down since then
7 morbillion joules
Maybe it's just me but I don't need this much power I just want it cause it's cool
I never need this much power xD
one billion energy
wiki says you only need 400mfe and its right
Depends on the wiki. Are you looking at a 1.19 or a 1.7.10? For 1.16 you need the laser
those anti matters here i come!
I would love watching your videos if you stopped adding in car honk noises 😄
Nothing wrong with the honk!!!! Tbh I have dialled it back a lot in later videos
Thanks
No, thank you!
TF WAS THAT BEEP?!
It's a big beep

Doesn’t need to be a reason. I like the transition. Just when I made this video I had poor audio editing skills
I wonder why it would be benificial to use turbines when just air cooled produces MANY times more power with 0 effort lol.
I also have no idea
