but rather university assignments and procrastination.

Always more important! ^.^

The second part of the reactor overhaul got merged into the GT6 repo, adding breeder rods and the new durability/efficiency system to the testing version of the mod. You’ll have to wait for Bear to test it though, and wait a little longer till my next PR gets merged into GT6 and that gets tested, because that contains a fix of a new issue I discovered today, the geiger counter not working with the 1x1 reactor.

Woot!

Depleted fuel rods have gotten new byproducts, being 1/6 of a dust of a better nuclear fuel. So quickly burning through your fuel can be a good option in some cases. While this isn’t realistic, because realistic would mostly be nuclear waste, this is fun and allows getting all nuclear fuels with just GT6 alone. It’s a bit inspired by NuclearCraft, the “progession” of fuels goes so: (Th232 or Co60) → U238 → U235 → Pu244 → Pu241 → Pu243 → Am245 → Am241 → Nq528 → Nq522 → Cyanite → Yellorium → Blutonium → Ludicrite → Th232. The fuels only obtainable by breeding U233 and Pu239 aren’t obtainable by this, but produce Pu243 and Am241, which skip quite a few steps.

Sounds quite nice!

A small surprise feature, the reactor has been made automateable. I felt this was needed with the addition of breeding and the new byproducts. Rods can be inserted and extracted from the top and button sides. However, automation is everything but easy, as the reactor (or at least the rods you want to access) need to be turned off to be able to access the slots. Combined with the space limitations, you need to be quite clever and use a lot of universal extenders to properly use the feature. And robot arms if you want to properly automate the 2x2 reactor.

Makes me wonder if larger is automateable at all, perhaps combining extenders, mini portals, and lots of panels, lol.
