Extreme Reactors in All the Mods 10

Extreme Reactors is all about nuclear power. You build big multiblock Reactors and Turbines out of casings, rods and ports, then tune them to pump out huge amounts of energy. The mod simulates energy and fluid mechanics, so there's real depth here. You manage fuel, control rod insertion and waste, and you can automate the whole setup with Redstone and the various ports. All the Mods 10 8.1 ships version 1.21.1-2.4.28.^[1][2]

Every Reactor runs in one of two modes. A Passively Cooled Reactor burns fuel to make power directly. An Actively Cooled Reactor uses its heat to vaporize coolant instead, and that vapor spins a Turbine to generate power.^[3][4][5]

The in-game manual says it's written for both seasoned players and people new to modded Minecraft, so don't be scared off by the complexity.^[2]

The other multiblocks

• The Reprocessor turns the waste your Reactor produces into new fuel sources or other resources.^[6]
• The Fluidizer converts solid fuels into fluids and can mix existing fuels to create new ones.^[7]
• The Energizer is a storage multiblock that holds vast amounts of energy.^[8]

Where it fits in the pack

You can start early. A first Reactor runs on Yellorium ingots, which you get by mining and smelting Yellorite Ore, and the manual pitches it as your power source for early game needs. The Extreme Reactors quest chapter walks you through it, starting with "Graphite for Casings" quest and leading up to "Our First Reactor" quest, a 3x3x3 passive reactor.^[5][9]

Basic parts can only build Reactors up to 5x5x5. To go bigger you'll need Reinforced parts, and the chapter then moves on to turbines and actively cooled reactors.^[5]

The mod also matters for the ATM Star. In Chapter 3: The ATM Star, the quest "Insanite Blocks" quest asks for an Insanite Block. Getting there means reprocessing materials in a Reprocessor to make Insanite Ingot and Inanite Ingot, so plan to reach the Reprocessor stage eventually.^[10]

Your first goal with Extreme Reactors is a small, passively cooled Basic Reactor that makes power directly. The Basic parts mostly need iron to craft, so it's a cheap early-game energy source, and the questline walks you through it one piece at a time.^[5][11]

Step 1: Graphite

Before anything else, smelt some Coal or Charcoal into Graphite Bar. Graphite and iron are the main materials for your reactor parts, and the quest "Graphite for Casings" quest kicks off the chapter by asking for it. A regular furnace or a blast furnace both work.^[5][12]

Step 2: Casings

Next, make Reactor Casing (Basic). Casings form the frame and walls of your reactor, and the other reactor parts are crafted from a Casing, so you'll need a lot of them. Reactor Glass (Basic) is optional. It can replace wall Casings if you want to see inside, but the frame has to be Casings.^[5][12][13]

Step 3: The working parts

The in-game guide lists what your first reactor needs: 22 Casings plus 1 each of the Controller, Control Rod, Fuel Rod, Solid Access Port and Active Forge Energy Power Tap. The quest "Interacting with the Reactor" quest suggests using 2 Solid Access Ports, one to put fuel in and one to take waste out.^[5][9]

• Reactor Controller (Basic) is the reactor's interface. Every reactor needs exactly 1.^[5]
• Reactor Fuel Rod (Basic) and Reactor Control Rod (Basic) hold the fuel and control how much of it burns. You need at least 1 Control Rod.^[5]
• Reactor Solid Access Port (Basic) is where you insert fuel and pull out waste.^[5]
• Reactor Active Forge Energy Power Tap (Basic) pushes energy into any cable or machine you connect to it.^[5][9]

Step 4: Build the 3x3x3 reactor

1. Build a 3x3x3 frame out of Casings, and put a Casing in the middle of the bottom face.^[5]
2. Place the Fuel Rod in the center of the structure, with the Control Rod directly above it on the top face.^[5][9]
3. Put the Controller in the middle of the front wall, a Solid Access Port on the left and right walls, and the Active Power Tap in the middle of the back wall.^[5]
4. When you place the last block, the reactor forms. If it doesn't, right-click any of its blocks to get an error message that explains the problem.^[9]

Step 5: Fuel it and switch it on

Right-click a Solid Access Port, set it to Inlet mode and put your fuel in its input slot. Then open the Controller and turn the reactor on. As it heats up, it fills its internal energy buffer. Connect a cable or machine to the Active Power Tap to use that energy.^[9]

Burning fuel creates waste. Set your second Solid Access Port to output and pipe it into storage. The Cyanite Ingot you collect this way is what the next quests, like "Dealing with Waste" quest, build on.^[5]

Unverified The in-game guide says to fuel the reactor with Yellorium ingots smelted from Yellorite Ore. The pack changed several reactor recipes, and the sources don't confirm which ingots work as fuel in this pack, so check the fuel tooltip in-game.

Basic parts can only build reactors up to 5x5x5. For anything bigger, you'll need Reinforced parts.^[5][11]

Extreme Reactors is built around multiblock machines. The Reactor generates power directly or boils coolant into vapor. The Turbine turns that vapor back into energy. The Reprocessor recycles Reactor waste, the Fluidizer turns solid fuels into fluids and mixes fuels, and the Energizer stores huge amounts of energy. Here's how each one works under the hood.^{[4][6][7][8][16]}

Forming a multiblock

Each machine is a set of blocks placed next to each other in the world. When you place the last required block, the structure forms and you can right-click the Controller to open its interface. If nothing happens, right-click any block of the build and you'll get an error message telling you what's wrong. Fix it and try again.^[9]

Casing blocks such as Reactor Casing (Basic) build the frame, and you can also use them to fill the faces. Glass is purely decorative. It can replace Casing on the faces but never on the frame.^[13][17]

How a Reactor makes heat

Reactors run on reactants. Fuel sustains the reaction inside the Fuel Rods, and waste is what's left once the fuel is consumed. By default the mod registers Yellorium and Blutonium as fuels, with Cyanite and Magentite as their wastes. Ejected Cyanite comes out as Cyanite Ingot. Mod packs can add, change or remove reactants.^[18]

Fuel Rods go in long vertical or horizontal piles. Each pile starts against a Casing block and ends with a Control Rod. You can't mix orientations, so all your Control Rods end up on the same face. In a Control Rod's interface you set its insertion percentage, for that rod alone or for all rods. The rod absorbs radiation, which slows or stops fuel use and the generation of heat and waste.^[19][20]

Irradiated fuel heats up. Moderators placed inside the Reactor absorb part of the radiation and move heat from the Fuel Rods toward the Casing. It's the Casing heat that finally produces energy or vaporizes coolant. Radiation travels in every direction perpendicular to the Fuel Rod piles, so your interior layout really matters. High core heat raises fuel usage, while high casing heat raises energy output and coolant conversion.^[15][21]

Passive vs active cooling

A passively cooled Reactor turns its heat straight into energy, which goes into an internal energy buffer. Your first Reactor works this way. Watch that buffer: any energy that doesn't fit is lost.^[9][15][22]

An actively cooled Reactor needs at least two Fluid Ports: one inserting coolant and one extracting the vapor it produces. You then pipe that vapor into one or more Turbines. By default water is the coolant and steam is the vapor, but mod packs can add or change these. Fluid Ports only accept valid coolants and vapors.^[23][24][25]

The Mekanism Fluid Port can pull vapor out as a Mekanism gas. It does this when a Rotary recipe exists for the fluid in the Reactor, using that recipe's conversion rate.^[26]

Fuel and waste handling

The Solid Access Port turns items like ingots into fuel. In inlet mode it accepts fuel sources, and in outlet mode it outputs waste. It's quick, but you always lose a small amount of material. The Fuel Injection Port does the same job with fluid fuels and fluid waste, with no material loss.^[27][28]

In the Controller you choose how waste is ejected. In Automatic mode, waste leaves the core as soon as possible. In Manual mode, you eject it from the Controller screen or with a Redstone or Computer Port signal.^[15]

The Extreme Wrench switches the input/output mode of Access Ports and Fluid Ports. It's also tagged as a Forge wrench, so it should work with other mods too.^[29]

Power output and active vs passive parts

Reactors and Turbines don't commit to a power system until the energy leaves. Power Taps convert it on the fly from the internal buffer. Right now the mod ships a Forge Energy Power Tap, and each machine can only use one type of Power Tap.^[30][31][32]

Many ports come in passive and active forms. A passive part never acts on its own, so the connected block has to push or pull. An active part pushes power, items or fluids out (or pulls items and fluids in) by itself, but won't let the connected block insert or extract. Mixing the two lets you fine-tune your logistics.^[33]

In All the Mods 10 the pack changed the recipe for the Reactor Active Forge Energy Power Tap (Basic). Check the recipe below rather than a default guide.^[12]

Want to charge gear directly? A Forge Charging Port on a passively cooled Reactor or a Turbine charges Forge Energy items. Put the item in the centre slot and it moves to the output slot once full. The eject button stops charging early.^[34][35]

How a Turbine spins

Vapor is pumped from the Turbine's Vapor Fluid Tank into the rotor chamber at the flow rate you set in the Controller. The Rotor Blades capture some of it, and that spins the Rotor. When the Induction Coils are engaged, they pull energy from the Rotor but add drag and slow it down. When disengaged, the Rotor spins faster but makes nothing.^[15][16]

The Rotor starts with a single Rotor Bearing on one face. Rotor Shaft blocks run from it to a Housing block on the far side. Rotor Blades go perpendicular to the shaft or extend outward from other blades. Blades only fully capture vapor up to their capacity, so pushing more flow than that drops efficiency.^{[15][36][37][38][39]}

Coils go around the shaft, and only valid coil blocks are allowed. Better or more coils generate energy faster. Energy output depends on rotor speed and on the average efficiency and drag of your coil blocks.^[15][16][40]

Variants and sizes

Basic Reactors top out at 5x5x5 blocks and mostly need iron ingots. Basic Turbines go up to 5x5x10 and use up to 1000 mB/t of vapor.^[11][41]

Reinforced Reactors and Turbines can be much larger. Their maximum size is set in the Extreme Reactors config, up to 256 blocks. They cost more and are a bit less efficient, but make up for it in raw capacity. Some parts only exist on Reinforced builds: the Computer Port, the Fuel Injection Port and the Reactor Forge Fluid Port.^{[25][28][42][43][44]}

Unverified The maximum Reinforced size configured in All the Mods 10 is not confirmed, and the vapor limit for Reinforced Turbines is not confirmed either, since the guide page for it appears to mislabel the figure as applying to Basic Turbines.

Automation

A Reactor Redstone Port can listen for a signal to switch the Reactor on or off, eject waste, or set the insertion of all Control Rods. It can also emit a signal based on these readings:^[45]

• Casing heat or core heat above, below or between set temperatures.^[45]
• Fuel richness, fuel amount or waste amount.^[45]
• Energy stored in the internal buffer.^[45]
• Coolant or vapor amount.^[45]

A Turbine Redstone Port can toggle the Turbine, engage the coils or change the flow rate. It can signal on rotor speed, coolant, vapor or stored energy. For either machine you'll usually need two or more Redstone Ports.^[46]

For more complex setups, the Computer Port lets a computer query and control the machine. The only supported computer mod is CC, and you can name individual Control Rods to address them from code.^[20][44][47]

The Reprocessor

The Reprocessor is 3 by 3 and 7 blocks high, with one of each device part. Waste goes in through the Waste Injector, and the Fluid Injector adds the fluid it needs (different wastes may need different fluids). The Power Port takes Forge Energy. When a job finishes, the Collector picks up the result for the Output Port. You can work both injectors and the Output Port by hand or pipe them.^{[48][49][50][51][52][53]}

The Fluidizer

The Fluidizer has a minimum size of 3x3x3. You need exactly one Controller and a Power Port fed with Forge Energy. Pipe the finished fuel out of the Output Port. The type and number of injectors you build in set its mode:^{[54][55][56][57][58]}

• Solid mode needs exactly one Fluidizer Solid Injector and turns solid fuel into fluid fuel.^[58]
• Solid Mixing mode needs exactly two Solid Injectors and mixes two solid fuels into a new fuel type.^[58]
• Fluid Mixing mode needs exactly two Fluidizer Fluid Injector and mixes two fluid fuels into a new one.^[58]

Extreme Reactors has its own quest chapter in All the Mods 10, and it gives you a clear ladder to climb. You smelt Graphite and build a small Basic reactor. Then you collect its waste and use it to unlock Turbines, the Reprocessor and the Fluidizer before chasing the endgame ingots. The final prize is the Insanite Block, which the pack uses to make the ATM Star.^[5][10]

Step 1: Graphite

Everything starts with "Graphite for Casings" quest. Smelt Coal or Charcoal into Graphite Bar. Graphite and iron are the main materials for your first reactor. A Blast Furnace works too.^[5][12]

"Our First Reactor" quest has you build the smallest possible passive reactor, a 3x3x3. The quest's requirements are the exact amounts you need to build it.^[5]

1. Build a 3x3x3 frame out of Basic Reactor Casings, and put another casing in the middle of the bottom face.^[5]
2. Every reactor needs exactly 1 Reactor Controller (Basic). The usual spot is the middle of the front wall.^[5]
3. Place 1 Reactor Fuel Rod (Basic) in the center of the multiblock and 1 Reactor Control Rod (Basic) directly above it on the top face.^[5]
4. Put a Reactor Solid Access Port (Basic) on the left wall and another on the right wall: one to feed fuel in, one to pull waste out.^[5]
5. Place the Reactor Active Forge Energy Power Tap (Basic) in the middle of the back wall, then right-click the Controller to open the interface and turn the reactor on.^[5]

Waste and Cyanite

When your reactor burns fuel, it produces waste in the form of Cyanite Ingot. For "Dealing with Waste" quest, set your second Solid Access Port to output and pipe the waste into storage. Cyanite unlocks the next tier, because it goes into Turbine parts and the Reprocessor. The Reprocessor alone takes a lot of it, so start stockpiling early.^[5][12]

Turbines

"Making Turbines" quest unlocks Turbines. They take vapor like Steam from an actively cooled reactor and turn it into lots of power. Basic Turbine parts cap out at 5x5x10, and anything bigger needs Reinforced Turbine parts. The in-game guide adds that a Basic Turbine can use up to 1,000 mB/t of vapor.^[5][41]

The frame is built from Turbine Housing, just like a reactor, and the walls can be Turbine Glass (Basic). You need two Turbine Active Forge Fluid Port (Basic), one for vapor in and one for exhaust out, plus a Turbine Active Forge Energy Power Tap (Basic). The rotor needs a Turbine Rotor Bearing (Basic), Turbine Rotor Shaft (Basic) and Turbine Rotor Blade (Basic). The pack changed the Bearing and Power Tap recipes.^[5][12]

The Reprocessor Collector goes in the center of the bottom face, and the Reprocessor Waste Injector goes in the center of the top face. The Reprocessor Controller, Reprocessor Power Port, Reprocessor Fluid Injector and Reprocessor Output Port can go on any vertical face, as long as they aren't on the frame.^[5]

The Fluidizer

The Fluidizer ("The Fluidizer" quest) is a customizable multiblock with a minimum size of 3x3x3. It converts solid fuels into fluids and mixes fuels together. Its mode depends on the injectors you build in. Exactly 1 Fluidizer Solid Injector turns a solid into a fluid, and exactly 2 Solid Injectors mix two solids. Exactly 2 Fluidizer Fluid Injector mix two fluids. It also needs an Output Port and a Power Port.^[5][58]

The pack changed the recipes for the Fluidizer Casing, Controller and Solid Injector.^[12]

Endgame: the Insanite chain

1. Burn Blutonium as reactor fuel. Its waste is Magentite.^[5]
2. In the Reprocessor, combine Blutonium with Cyanite to make Ludicrite Ingot.^[12]
3. Turn Magentite into a fluid in the Fluidizer, then send it to the Reprocessor with Ludicrite to make Ridiculite Ingot.^[5][12]
4. Use the Fluidizer to combine Blutonium with Yellorium into Verderium. Burn the Verderium in a reactor fitted with a Reactor Fuel Injection Port (Reinforced) to get Rossinite. You may need to empty your reactor or build a new one for this.^[5]
5. Reprocess Ridiculite with Rossinite to get Inanite Ingot, then use those to make an Inanite Block.^[5][10][12]
6. Mine Benitoite (BaTiSi3O9) in the Nether and reprocess it with Rossinite to get Insanite Ingot.^[5][10][12]
7. Craft the Insanite Block, one of the hardest materials in the mod and part of the ATM Star.^[5][10]

Extreme Reactors doesn't stay in its own corner in All the Mods 10. The pack adds or changes several recipes that tie reactor materials into other mods, especially Mystical Agriculture, Productive Bees and one of the pack's big endgame crafts.^[12]

Philosopher's Fuel

Your reactor progression feeds into Philosopher's Fuel, a recipe the pack added. It needs an Insanite Block alongside items from a whole bunch of other mods, including Create, Forbidden Arcanus, Generator Galore, Iron Furnaces, Just Dire Things, Modern Industrialization and Mystical Agriculture. If you're heading for this item, plan on pushing your reactor setup far enough to make Insanite.^[12]

Mystical Agriculture

You can farm reactor materials instead of burning fuel for them. The pack added infusion recipes for Graphite Seeds and Cyanite Seeds, which use a Graphite Block and a Cyanite Block.^[12]

Graphite SeedsAdded by the pack

Productive Bees

Bee lovers get two bee conversion recipes that use Anglesite Ore and Benitoite Ore. The pack changed both of them.^[12]

The cool part is that your Reprocessor multiblock also works as a bee machine. The pack changed the Reprocessor recipes for the Inanite, Insanite, Ludicrite and Ridiculite bees. They feed a configurable bee in along with reactor materials like Rossinite, Cyanite and Magentite. You unlock the Reprocessor through "Reprocessing our Waste" quest.^[5][12]

Power and pipes from other mods

Extreme Reactors uses Forge Energy, so it plays nicely with the cables and generators from other mods. You can attach pipes and cables to a reactor's Reactor Active Forge Energy Power Tap (Basic) to pull power out.^[5]

The Fluidizer's Power Port accepts any Forge Energy-compatible cable or generator, and its Output Port works with any kind of pipe to pull out the fluid fuel automatically.^[56][57]

The Energizer's FE Power Ports connect to any Forge Energy-compatible cable or machine. Its FE Charging Port can charge items that run on Forge Energy.^[62][63][64]

Extreme Reactors has its own quest chapter in All the Mods 10, and it walks you from your first Graphite all the way to Insanite Blocks. Two other chapters also touch the mod: Building Tips and Chapter 3: The ATM Star. Here's the route, in order.^[5][10][65]

Extreme Reactors chapter: your first reactor

1. "Graphite for Casings" quest is your first quest. It asks for a Graphite Bar, which you get by smelting Coal or Charcoal.^[5]
2. "Reactor Building Components" quest asks for Reactor Casing (Basic) and Reactor Glass (Basic). It also warns that Basic parts only work with other Basic parts, and only for smaller reactors.^[5]
3. Three quests branch off from there. "Interacting with the Reactor" quest asks for the Power Tap and Solid Access Port. a quest in "Extreme Reactors" asks for the Reactor Controller (Basic). "Reactor Control Rods" quest asks for Control Rods and Fuel Rods.^[5]
4. "Our First Reactor" quest has you build the smallest passive reactor, a 3x3x3. The quest asks for exactly the parts you need to build one.^[5]

Waste, expansion and turbines

After your first reactor, three quests open up. "Dealing with Waste" quest asks for Cyanite Ingot, your reactor's waste. "Expanding Our Reactors" quest explains sizing: Basic parts cap out at 5x5x5, and Reinforced parts go up to 32x32x48. "The Fluidizer" quest asks for the Fluidizer Controller.^[5]

Once you have Cyanite, "Making Turbines" quest asks for Turbine Housing (Basic) and a Turbine Controller (Basic). Basic Turbines max out at 5x5x10. The follow-ups are "Turbine Construction" quest, "Turbine Ports" quest and "Creating The Turbine Shaft" quest. "Building An Actively Cooled Reactor" quest needs both Making Turbines and Dealing with Waste done. It asks for Reactor Casing (Reinforced) and a Reactor Active Forge Fluid Port (Reinforced) so your reactor can make Steam.^[5]

Reprocessor and Fluidizer

"Reprocessing our Waste" quest starts the Reprocessor line. It needs a lot of Cyanite. After that, a quest in "Extreme Reactors" asks for the Controller for this 3x3x7 multiblock. It unlocks "Building The Frame" quest, "Importing Waste" quest and a quest in "Extreme Reactors", which ask for the remaining Reprocessor parts.^[5]

On the Fluidizer side, "Fluidizer Construction" quest, "Operational Modes" quest and "Required Ports" quest ask for its casing, glass, injectors and ports. The Operational Modes quest explains the 3 modes, which depend on the injectors you use.^[5]

The endgame materials

1. Finishing Building The Frame unlocks "Blutonium" quest, which asks for Blutonium Ingot. That leads to "Ludicrite \& Ridiculite" quest, which asks for Ludicrite Ingot and Ridiculite Ingot.^[5]
2. Finishing all three Fluidizer quests unlocks "Rossinite" quest. It asks for a Reactor Fuel Injection Port (Reinforced), because Rossinite comes out as the reactant when you burn Verderium as fuel.^[5]
3. "Insanite" quest follows Rossinite and asks for Insanite Ingot. It notes that Benitoite Ore is found in the Nether. "Inanite" quest needs both Rossinite and Ludicrite & Ridiculite, and asks for Inanite Ingot.^[5]
4. "Insanite Block" quest wraps up the chapter. It asks for an Insanite Block, which is also used for the ATM Star.^[5]

Other chapters

In Chapter 3: The ATM Star, "Insanite Blocks" quest asks for an Insanite Block. It comes after a quest called Extreme Reactors in that chapter. In Building Tips, a quest in "Building Tips" accepts any of several glass blocks, including Reactor Glass (Basic), Turbine Glass (Reinforced) and Reprocessor Glass.^[10][65]

All the Mods 10 8.1 ships Extreme Reactors version 1.21.1-2.4.28. The mod has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier, so it's been around for a big chunk of the pack's life.^[1]

Since then, the pack has updated the mod several times, and each update was a small patch-level bump rather than a major version change. Here's the update trail from the pack changelogs, oldest first:^{[66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]}

• All the Mods 10 2.30: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.19 to 1.21.1-2.4.20.^[73]
• All the Mods 10 2.33: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.20 to 1.21.1-2.4.21.^[72]
• All the Mods 10 2.47: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.21 to 1.21.1-2.4.22.^[71]
• All the Mods 10 4.0: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.22 to 1.21.1-2.4.23.^[70]
• All the Mods 10 4.5: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.23 to 1.21.1-2.4.24.^[69]
• All the Mods 10 4.12: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.24 to 1.21.1-2.4.25.^[68]
• All the Mods 10 4.13: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.25 to 1.21.1-2.4.26.^[67]
• All the Mods 10 5.5: updated from 1.21.1-2.4.26 to 1.21.1-2.4.28, which is the version still shipped in 8.1.^[1][66]

Unverified The pack changelogs only record the version bumps. They don't say what actually changed in Extreme Reactors with each update, such as bug fixes, balance tweaks or new features. The mod's own changelogs for these versions aren't available here, so the specific changes are unverified.
