I made a fusion reactor in a creative single player world and then I started it the D-T stored in it vanished instantly and it quickly empties tanks piping into it. An ultimate gas tank feeding the reactor empties in about 25 seconds --> about 1000 units/tick. That is how much the reactor internally can store.

Changing the injection rate in the reactor does not make any noticeable changes in D-T fuel consumption nor in how fast the energy production rate is increasing.

After running the reactor for a few minutes it is now stabilizing at about 250MJ/t and 75GK

Injection rate determines how fast the reactor internally mixes deuterium and tritium to make d-t fuel. If you pipe in d-t fuel directly it will burn pretty much as fast as you can pipe it in. Don't do that.

Nope! You can use it to fill Hohlraums though. So you're probably set for any time you need to restart the reactor. xD

oh, ok.

I thought I should pump in D-T because I could make it outside the reactor (chemical infuser)
Have I any use of a tank with D-T for more then giving a reactor a little extra boost?
