I have been impressed with your work and now I want to know how to paste your plan again but not in the same place, I don't know which tool of the interactive map allows me to paste the plans in another place other than the original one.

Good Job!!!!

I ended up with the same while troubleshooting, however the rubber input is greater than you have listed, I'm coming out to 226 rubber/min needed instead of 176/min. Please double check me though!

Updated the blueprint. Reduced the OC of all the reactors to 200%. This still yields 170,000 MW, and solves the overflow issues.

For now, until I release a new update, just change the overclock of all reactors to 200% and everything will be balanced again.

Just an update, and to answer recent comments - update 7 changed the fuel and waste input/output rates for nuclear reactors, so I'm working on an updated version of this megaprint.

Just a heads up. The Non-fissile Blenders choke on the Plutonium waste and eventually lock up. Have to divert the plutonium waste straight to the storage. Or am I missing something? Help here?

Sorry for the delay replying to comments, I stepped away from the game for a bit.

I'm coming back to update 7, and will tweak this blueprint a bit, since I believe some changes were made that might affect fuel rod consumption (and maybe waste generation?)

Does this still work properly in U7? I'm backing up in uranium waste. Looks like generating 450/min waste and only using 360/min?

Ignore my previous comment about startup power, I missed the battery bank :)

how much power does this take to startup?

Thanks for this blueprint. Its amazing!

Just so I'm clear here, can the full power of this setup only be had if you don't sink the plutonium rods and actually use them? I'm just slightly confused cause I'm only seeing 1 belt of uranium rods going to 18 of the reactors. Again, thanks for all your blueprints.

I've added some instructions for how to accurate place multiple copies of this blueprint (side-by-side)

Hey BuddyL, Love your work. How do you paste these side by side, I wont to add another 2 (3 total) but cant seem to figure it out. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Its ok i found my mistake :)

I was doing 50 uranium/min = 1 rod = 50 waste/min (or its 50 waste/rod !)

While it's 41.6667 uranium = 1 rod = 50 waste

Hi, when I analyzed the "problem" myself I did not find exactly the same result as you. However, I checked we have chosen the same recipes. I come across (max map): 1,096,667 constant MW And that 1 uranium = 522.22 MW

You find 1,196,000MW And that 1 uranium = 566 MW

Could you tell me where I'm wrong?

Here are my calculations and my reasoning, tell me if it looks good to you. (I deliberately hide the other resources because they are in greater quantity)

To begin with, one must choose the recipes that cost the least amount of uranium possible.

Here I choose the uranium rod alt which produces 3 rods per 100 uranium cells.

1 bar therefore costs 33.3333 uranium cells.

I choose the alt infused recipe, which produces 4 cells for 5 uranium.

I multiply by 8.333 (4x8.3333=33.333: my cell requirement)

So I consume 41.66667 uranium for one bar of uranium.

Now I know that a bar is consumed in 5 minutes. I choose to calibrate my machines to produce continuously (1 bar produced in 5 min, consumed in 5 min) ignoring the number of machines that this requires (we can put them at 250%, no problem, they just stop and resume but the end result is the same)

I therefore have at my disposal 5 minutes of uranium mining (the map offers 2100 / min maximum).

So I have 2100x5 = 10500 uranium available.

Which allows me to create 252 bars (in 5min) maximum. (10500/cost 41.66667)

And therefore 630,000 MW constant (252x2500), no interruptions or limited stock.

During these 5 minutes I will produce 10500 uranium waste.

For the plutonium bars (consumed in 10 minutes and therefore to be produced in 10min) I therefore have at my disposal 10500 waste x2 (5min x2) therefore 21000 waste.

I have to choose the recipes that cost me the least waste possible.

I choose the alternative plutonium unit:

1 bar costs me 20 plutonium cells. That I must therefore create.

Here I have several choices.

Via the assembler: I need to produce 40 plutonium pellets, which cost me 133.333 non-fissile uranium and 33.3333 uranium scrap.

1 non-fissile uranium costs, with the best recipe (classic non-fissile) = 0.75 waste.

I therefore consume 100 waste (133.333x0.75) + 33.33 = 133.333 waste with this recipe

Via the accelerator: I must produce 20 cells of plutonium, which cost me 150 non-fissile uranium. 150x0.75 = 112.5 waste. This is the most profitable recipe: instant plutonium cell.

So I have 21000 waste in 10 minutes, which I divide by 112.5 (cost of one bar) = 186.6667 plutonium bars.

That is 466,666 MW constant over 10 minutes.

Uranium, for its part, will have produced 630,000 MW constant (2x5 minutes)

The map therefore allows, with recipes optimized to consume as few capped resources as possible, 1,096,666 constant MW.

The reasoning is that I don't look at how long I can produce (produce as quickly as possible or with the fewest machines) but how much I can produce, with the most limited resource. The production line is therefore centered around this sole criterion. And is associated with the consumption time of a bar (and therefore the waste produced in parallel, consumed on the second production line, the most limited resource).

How to download the layout and how do we see the blueprint?

Thanks for the amazing build. Glad I could offer input. My hope is that there is a way to process the plutonium waste some day. For now this works as the ultimate solution to all my power woes. Much appreciated. Cheers!

What I did to recover from a mess up while I was tuning this blueprint:

Add a splitter just after the last merger collecting Uranium Waste from the reactors. Route an output of the splitter to an industrial storage container. This will eventually starve the blenders of Uranium Waste, but the reactors will be unclogged of waste at their outputs long before starvation occurs. Delete the splitter and conveyor which was added. Quickly deposit any uranium waste from inventory into the container. Save the game, pull the save into the map here, delete the container.

That's a good idea about diverting excess waste uranium to permanent storage. I had thought about doing something like that at one point, but never got around to implementing it. I'll put that in as an update -- thanks for the suggestion!

Simply amazing build. Works like a dream if all necessary inputs are supplied. I goofed and one of my drones ran out of batteries bringing in bauxite of all things. Waste built up and caused a shutdown totally my fault. I was wondering if you might have a simple fix down in the mixing layers to divert the waste in case of this happening? I am not using the plutonium but sinking it. I'm referring to the uranium waste lines. I was thinking of an overflow splitter for this purpose. Thanks again for posting this and all the supporting input lines blueprints. Truly art.
