Minecraft: Big Reactors Mod - build turbine - how it works

With the turbine, the Big Reactors mod complements Minecraft with an extremely efficient energy supplier. You can find out how to build the machine and put it into operation in this game tip.

Minecraft: Big Reactors Mod - build turbine - how it works

• The turbine is a "multible block structure", an element that is not crafted in the workbench as usual. Instead, a wide variety of blocks have to be built in the correct arrangement to get a working machine.
• Before you start construction, you should collect all the necessary parts. These are: 1 Turbine Controller, 1 Turbine Power Tap, 1 Turbine Fluid Port, 1 Turbine Rotor Bearing, some Turbine Shafts, several Rotor Blades, several Metal Blocks and many Turbine Housing and Turbine Glass Blocks, which form the basis ( Number of variable, depending on the turbine size).
• Start by creating the basic structure with the dimensions 5x5x4 blocks. Use only turbine housing blocks here (see picture on the right).
• Now attach the Turbine Controller, the Turbine Power Tap and the Turbine Fluid Port to the construction. The exact placement doesn't matter. These 3 elements are used for control after completion. More on this in the second paragraph.
• The next step is the turbine-rotor bearing block. This is the fulcrum of the rotor and has to be built in the middle of a wall (also goes below).
• Now build the turbine shafts up to the opposite wall and attach the rotor blades to it. There is no minimum requirement for rotor blades. You can place as many as you want. Of course, this affects energy performance.
• The energy is collected by metal blocks, for example gold or iron blocks, which you should build around the last peripheral turbine shaft.
• Complete the whole thing by filling the empty walls with Turbine Glass or Turbine Housing. If you have done everything correctly, the game recognizes the device and converts it into a controllable system. You can recognize this by the fact that the texture changes.

Minecraft Big Reactors: operate the turbine

• The turbine rotors are driven by steam. Accordingly, you need to build a steam line from a big reactor to the turbine. Connect the line to the fluid port.
• Also run a power line from the power tap block to a storage or consumer device.
• Now you can start the good piece. To do this, open the Turbine Controller and click on "Engange Coils".
• In the Turbine Controller you can also see the power that is being delivered. At the top left is the speed, below the output value and again below the load.
• You can control the rotor speed using the two light blue arrows at the bottom right.

Big Reactors is also part of Gronk's After Humans Modpack. If you want to play the other Minecraft modifications from its Let's Plays, you should have a look here.
