If anybody has ever used Direwolf20's reactor program that he has made, I'm wondering if there is a way to change his code a bit so i can use it for 4 reactors instead of 1? Such as if the power usage was higher then what 1 reactor could make then i would want it to kick on a 2nd reactor to cover the loss. I'd want it to work so if i was using a quarry that took tones of power it could control how many reactors get turned on to help cover the power need.

Could we see Direwolf20's code? a like the the Pastebin?

Let me get it real fast
http://pastebin.com/4qNyaPavI don't know much about code, so to me it looks impossible without rewriting it.

his code monitored an energy storage cell and and used rednet to get the reactor states and send turn on/off signals
you could easily use an array and for loop to change the state of each reactor, however the displaying of information will require a rewrite
he posted a video at some point explaining how it worked
edit: found it

also, what are you running that could need two reactors?
Probably 4 MFSUs or every IC2 block using UU-Matter…

hahaha a ender quarry with fortune 3 and speed 3. im not using a super huger reactor tho, just a 7 by 7 reactor because ive heard those are the most efficient when it comes to usage of yellorium.
Im using HV solars to make UU lol

Why not run them all in parallel all the time? Surely you'd get better cooling efficiency that way.

Yea i could do that, just thought id try something out with cc code
I would love to learn code and i use minecraft as my tool to help me learn

There are plenty of tutorials for CC, google is also a good friend.
As for your reactor problem, If you must have 2 , have 1 on all the time which makes a bit too little RF and have the second regulated with DW20s program.

I figured out how to connect all 4 reactors to the program, now im wondering where in the code do i need to change it to where i have the rf gen say for all 4 instead of just 1?

you may need to rewrite most of the program for that
later in the video he explains line by line:
https://www.youtube....h?v=l7ZwSFVYITUto add more reactors to the code, you will need to store them in a table, when the program interacts with a reactor you will need to make it loop through the table

I added more reactors to the code with no problem lol and yea i watched that video guess i should just watch it again.

So you got it working with the 4 reactors?

Not individual control but yes i got all 4 to turn on at once and off at once

I tried doing a partial rewrite of this code to control multiple turbines but my skills were not up to the task. It seems to hone in on the production values of the primary(#1) reactor or turbine, so if you can figure that out you may be able to make the next step. Good luck!
