Hi this is a reactor program that has no sleep in it just events and timer. Also it uses ccSensors to control temperature and refill with cooling cells when needed. It also controls power lines and displays reactor content.

Wow, all these mods combined in a truly amazing way!

One thing, how do you produce the ice? Do you have to input anything?

[mrrg]

No, you put a ic2 pump next to a compressor to make snow, and then you compress the snow to make ice.

The ic2 pump pumps directly into the compressor if it is right next to it, also make an infinite water source below the pump and you are set.

Thanks for your answer! So is this system completely closed?
And how do you power the machines? Do you use the reactor?

Yes it is with, one exception the system that makes coolant cells, needs tin.

The system supplies a constant stream of ice..and refills also with collant cells but leaving a slot left for ice blocks.

You could feed more ice to make it a much more efficient reactor, but I did not want to have a gigantic ice machinery.

And how do you power the machines? Do you use the reactor?

Quote

Yes. With temperature control the reactor can run without ice blocks and coolant cells..
However with them it makes the on period longer.

looks cool
great to see the sensors put to good use />

I've updated the lua API in build 014pre-rel - you can add to your control room mfsu monitoring as well />

let me know if there is any feature you thought could be useful or make things easier...

Hey, I feel like a COMPLETE moron here, but.. how do I set this up? eh heh heh.. it keeps telling me can not get readings from reactor core, Here are a couple of screenshots, mind if i ask what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: doesn't matter if i put it in creative or normal mode, and it is using frequency 1 red, I crafted the stuff legitimately.

[mrrg]

First read: http://www.computerc...addonccsensors/

Then there was an issue with the order you added sensorcontrollers and sensors.. try Ctrl+R to rebbot the computer.

Also the name of the sensor need to match the program, I see you figured that one out />

Nice! I like it ;D +1 for you buddy

[Wired2coffee]

That is the best program I've seen for reactor controlling ever! Nice work!

Thank you!
It is my first LUA program though so there might be things in there that are bad.

[monzyer]

Just wanted to start off and say this is a great program. If you would help a fellow computer guy out, could you make a video of your reactor so i can see the wiring.

thanks,

Hi,

how do you get it to work?

Hey. I'm looking to create the same sort of thing. Would it be possible to upload the map /> I'm not going to copy your work I just want to use it on my SSP world

HI
Please help i have the same problem as
kikotte

[Wayno]

Hello, love the look of this.

but i have a issue, i been trying to work out why this isnt working.

so i read over code found that

targets = sensors.getAvailableTargets(side,sensor)
for i=1,#targets do
target=targets[i]
local status = sensors.setTarget(side,sensor,targets)
print(" Found "..targets.." sensor target/targets.")

isnt working anyone help plz?

[cgctech]

Same issue as kikotte, has anyone found a solution

@yoskaz01 hey. i'm a bit of a noob here />. I'm very new to Computercraft. I was looking online to learn how to make that menu that you had in that image and I can't find anything on it. I've also seen an image with the exact same layout as that, in the tekkit wiki (i believe it was in the ccsensor part.). Could you possibly help me out? or post the code?
