i recently went to use it and each time i placed or removed a block i would lag. its the only mod in the void world

3TW power output wile not necessary is nice for a planet power station. i made it for large projects so you dont have to keep building reactors.

@ NigthOps yup for my Air Conditioner and fridge fill with beer. :P

3TW power output, would it really ever be necessary to have that much?

i love partecle acelerator so the
n generate a lot of fuel perfec for my super rocket project

pending if you wish to do some twinkering or not a other solution could be to create a unique type of fuel by combining 2-3 element into 1 as to reduce the pure uranium base need for it

exemple for 2 element: Uranium / Magnesium, Uranium / iron...
exemple for 3 element: Uranium / coblat / silver....

but making a fuel cell to compansated the high uranium consumtion could also make it more multiplayer friendly.

I think that a good effeciancy ratio (to make it viable for- well, Any survival server) would be the consumption of 5 uranium per second at full power

Absolutely no server will allow you to refine a Million uranium units that would make this thing currently viable. At best you might get 15-50K uranium after mining Several deposits in space (which are very hard to find)

This isn't a gas powered generator (or hydrogen), its a Fusion / Particle accelerator (seeming as though it uses enriched uranium) so it should be pretty effeciant.

@Stotin you are correct it was balanced around normal reactors. I have no idea if the normal reactors are correct in real world but its the numbers the game used so i did basic math. I to think it uses fuel to fast but at this point its not worth it for me to change the numbers as i dont know what would be good balance.

@Era, it is acutally balanced around normal reactors as to generate the same amount of power from vanilla nuclear reactors it would take 833 uranium per second. So it is actually a little bit better in efficiency.

Looking over a fact sheet on fission reactors... 27,000 kg of Uranium will power a 1GW facility for 1 year.... so this thing is using a bit too much Uranium frankly (edited for accuracy, had 2700 kg before)

You guys can modify the settings. I might modify it so it either runs on less fuel or just requires a power buffer to start it and once started it would be self sustaining. Might lower the power output though.

Is there a version of this that doesn't require anywhere near that amount of fuel? that sounds pretty messed up

Yeah, this mod is great and all, but it's basically creative only. Sure, it's survival ready, but to run it at full power, you need to be processing 800+ uranium ingots PER SECOND. This requires 600k unmodded refineries working around the clock, and lets not even mention the amount of ore that needs to be fed into that mess.

If the ship is big enough, could i build it in the interior or would it cause Performance Problems?

is* No clue how I hit "of"

Thought so. But uhhh... The entire bottom texture of off diagonally by a block.

it is intended to use on a planet outdoors

Oh good. Not like I need airtightness when the absolute only place this is fitting is on a planet, and the only planet I like playing on is Earth. And besides it looks more like an outdoors thing for the a e s t h e t i c s of a base.

bottom has 9 squares dont align properly but they still work.

Where does this thing align conveyors to? The bottom has 9 squares surrounded by a bigger golden square, but they don't snap nor align to any conveyor.

lol im gona leave and never return



self destruction 100

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

opps mom not om

i was scroling through the coments ye i agree with blood dragon95 war angel is being a a hole for no reson

war angel if youre going to wine about somthing get youre om to change youre dipper first

ye my spelling isnt great so :/

@tugspacehall Don't let the trolls get you down dude. Personally, i like the idea of a particle accelerator producing energy, this really is a cool mod and i hope to see it further developed, i would agree that you should change the size to 51x51 or 49x49 though, would make it easier to align.

@war-angel Really dude, just really? you're gonna sit there and type up an argument only to embarrass yourself and drop the "UhMm AcTuAlLy" bomb on some one like that, It's called Sci-Fi dude, creativeness, something you probably don't have. Here's another fact, a particle accelerator actually does produce a degree of energy, we just don't know how to harness it. How do you think a Nuclear Bomb works. That collision forces the atoms to split and release energy in the form of heat. So if the whole point of a particle accelerator is to smash atoms together then yes it would produce some energy and you just contradicted yourself. SIT DOWN SON AND SHUT UP, Let the guy create.

Neat idea though I feel like should be fueled by hydrogen.

particle accelerators should use hydrogen not uranium uranium atoms are to heavy

man i don't care about whether it's realistic, what is up with having the file size be 174 MB? that's huge, you could bring that down to like 30 tops

and you want see how a black hole can make power watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulCdoCfw-bY

actually yeah it does mean we can't there's no way to harness the radiation safely so that mean Humanity will most likely use a Dyson Sphere or a black hole to generate power be for they will ever look it a particle accelerator for power

war-angel i understand where u r comming from however i never said it follows real life it could be that in the future we could have one that dose produce power. I know that right now we dont but that dosent mean we cant.

A particle accelerator does not make power. it use power to propel particles really fast

I swear modders don't think at all when they make mod i mean they don't do research on what the thing the want do or how it can be added in to space engineers that make sense

A particle accelerator is a machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to very high speeds and energies, and to contain them in well-defined beams. Large accelerators are used for basic research in particle physics.

where in that line dose it say it's make power

just spent the last 5 hours mining uranium

and power as f**k too :-P

change the Block ID proboly not scince it is assigned by steam

This is a great Mod! Is it possible to change the Block ID? So it would be compatible with the Antimatter Mod(pack). If the Antimatter Modpack priority is higher than this mod, that Particle Accelerator doesn't appears in the building menue. But if the priority of this mod is higher than the Antimatter Modpack, the Experimental Particle Accelerator for creating antimatter dissapears. This reactor (Particle Accelerator) would be great, to produce Engergy for the Antimatter-Particle Accelerator. (You could even use more Antimatter-Particle Accelerators for creating antimatter, than with the Modpack Experimental Unoctquadium reactor, what would cause a faster Antimatter generation.)

If it is still that difficult, is there no way to make it easier? Maybe a smaller version with 29x29 and 3 high? Because at the moment, if i can not deplay the mod on simply way its useless for me :( have no interest to try in hours to find maybe... the right position...

it can be placed from the top down but still not eassy

i trtied to deploy it now, but i dont get it, its all the time red... have no idea where to stay for deploying :(

looks nice

it convays at the bottom ports 4 per

Agree to Vegas, size should be 49x49 or 51x51. prefer symmetrical builds too.... and this thing is so big, i have no clue where the conveyerconnector is...

PCUs are about server lag. One giant reactor is less stress on the server than 50 small ones, so no, the PCUs should not be higher.

Particle Accelerator has dimensions 50x50x5 blocks, PERSONALLY MY OPINION, the size should be 49x49x5 or 51x51x5. With an odd value, it is easier to determine the symmetry, the junction points of conveyors / pipes / containers / sorters and other things will not be shifted to the side and should have an aesthetic appearance, for example, when the ship is docked.

Perhaps it makes sense to make this mod modular, so that a large block would work when docking the composite small parts.
option:
1) 5 pieces - a circle in a circle
2) 4 pieces - sliced pizza into 4 pieces
3) 5 large round parts that are assembled from smaller ones. And each of these 5 large parts had its own purpose, for example, the first inner circle was only a storage for uranium ingots, the second circle in the collection would be a conveyor / connector with the third circle that would accumulate energy (battery), then another fourth circle as a conveyor / connector with the fifth last lap, which already began to process uranium ingots from the inner circle, and supply energy to the third circle (battery).

It would be very cool if each part of the Particle Accelerator can be built separately and used as a decor.
This is my personal opinion on how to improve your creation. You decide to pay attention to my offer or not)
Thank you for the work done during the creation of Particle Accelerator, I really liked it, I will certainly find how to use your mod in my game to increase the interest of the game process)

Particle Accelerator's physical structure is determined by its size, the character faces an invisible wall which is limited by the size of the whole block. Where there is no visible Particle Accelerator texture, there is an invisible obstacle.

when the block lies in round forms to the top, then the places where there are no circles but there is a square platform of this block, do not allow the character to stand on this square part, the character goes “by air” to the edge of the Particle Accelerator.

Vegas what do you mean by remove the invisible floor / wall which is determined by the dimensions of the whole block?
