When in active cooling mode the reactor is consuming orders of magnitude more water than it should be for the amount of steam it is outputting. Your reactor seems to be consuming nearly a 1:1 ratio of water to steam, when in reality (i.e. Real Life) the ratio is closer to 1:1600 for water to steam. And since minecraft isn't realistic, let's take a look at the equivalent mod Railcraft. Railcraft boilers have a conversion ratio of 1:160 for water to steam. At the very least the reactor should be equivalent to it's peer mods.

@octarine-noise Steam isn't the issue at all, it's the water:steam ratio that's messed up.

@ReaperCast I had the water from the turbine plus four eIO resevoirs (think TE aqueous accumulator). It wasn't even close to enough water because the GT steam turbine was outputting RC levels of water (1:160) instead of BR levels of water.

@Timeslice42 Again not what I'm actually saying you are using the GT turbine...I'm talking about the BR turbines. The only other mods involved in what I'm talking about would be Thermal Expansion's Tesseract, Creative Tank, and maybe Mekanism's Mechanical Pipes to replace the tesseract...Build a reactor and a turbine from BR, Fill the reactor with water (which is why I said the creative tank since its faster when testing), then connect the reactor to the turbine with either tesseracts or Mechanical pipes, with steam going from the reactor into the turbine and water comming from the turbine into the reactor. Before connecting the water pipes from the turbine to the reactor turn both on so the turbine fills with water and steam. Then connect them the rest of the way, break the creative tank, and run them at the desired speed, so long as you have the turbine set to Vent only excess the water will keep circulating and you won't need to input more water. Depending you might have to have a small amount of water pumping into he reactor while the turbine is getting up to speed but after that you shouldn't need to. I've tested this myself multiple times, having 6 turbines running off 1 reactor, 5 of them were 5x5x9, with two enderiumcoils and 20 blades, and another was something like 9x9x15 that was was changing stuff on, but the 5 that stayed connected were pumping water back into the reactor and i had no other water input for them, so long as that system was on i never needed to pump water into it. So with all that...what I'm saying is that there is no loss of water from the BR system so long as you have the means to move the proper amount of water and steam.

That still has nothing to do with this ticket.

Hmm. That's actually a valid point; sorry for marking this a dupe, I get a lot of "you're producing too much steam" bugs. Let me think on this.

No problem. I'm just glad you kept reading after you closed it :)

lol there is also the fact like what I just did..I only pump water into a reactor until I get the turbines to speed...then as long as the water from the turbine gets pumped back into the reactor I never have to add water again

Try the PressurePipes mod if the steam throughput is a problem for you. It can move arbitrary amounts of fluid and handles BigReactors fluid ports no problem.

thats not what i meant lol..i can use Tesseracts for fluid movement. It's how my current configurations work. what i meant was once i get the turbines up to sppeed, you pump the water from the turbines back into the reactor and you never have to add water again unless you stop the system.
