Operational mode 2 pages
The Fluidizer can process materials in the following three different modality, depending on the type and number of Injectors in the machine:
Solid mode : turn solid fuel sources (like ingots) into fluid fuel. To enable this modality you need one, and only one, Solid Injector in the machine.
Solid mode : turn solid fuel sources (like ingots) into fluid fuel. To enable this modality you need one, and only one, Solid Injector in the machine.
Solid Mixing mode : turn two solid fuel sources (like ingots) into fluid and mix them to make a new fuel type. To enable this modality you need two, and only two, Solid Injectors in the machine.Fluid Mixing mode : mix two fluid fuels into a new fuel type. To enable this modality you need two, and only two, Fluid Injectors in the machine.

The Coolants System 3 pages
An actively cooled Reactor / Turbine setup vaporizes a coolant using the heat of the Reactor to generate a vapor that can be used to drive the rotors of many Turbines and generate energy.
A coolant is a fluid that, if recognised, can be pumped into the Coolant Fluid Tank of the Reactor using a Fluid Port in input mode.

A vapor is a fluid that is the result of a coolant being vaporized inside a Reactor, and that can be pumped from a Reactor to a Turbine (using Fluid Port) to be used to drive the Turbine rotor and then be condensed back to the original coolant to let the cycle start again.
Only valid coolants and vapors can be used inside a Reactor or a Turbine.

Passive and Active Parts 2 pages
Some Reactor or Turbine parts that interact with external blocks are available in a passive or active form, or both.
A passive part does nothing by itself. It does not try to send out energy, fluids or items nor does it try to acquire them. The block connected to the part needs to take the initiative and start the transfer.

The coolant will be vaporized in the process and the resulting vapor can be extracted from the Reactor to drive the rotors of one or more Turbines.
To build an actively cooled Reactor you need to include at least two Fluid Ports in the multiblock, one configured to insert a coolant into the Reactor and one to extract the generated vapor from the Reactor.
The extracted vapor can then be piped into your Turbines to generate energy.

Inner workings 2 pages
How does a Reactor generate energy or vaporize coolants?
With heat.
Irradiated fuel heats up, moderators absorb part of the radiation and move heat away from the Fuel Rods and toward the Casing.
The Casing Heat is what, in the end, generates energy or vaporizes coolants.

Irradiated fuel heats up, moderators absorb part of the radiation and move heat away from the Fuel Rods and toward the Casing.
The Casing Heat is what, in the end, generates energy or vaporizes coolants.
Moving heat away from the Fuel Rods is a very important aspect of your Reactor design and moderators play a key role in it. It is also important to mention that radiation travels in every direction perpendicular to the Fuel Rods pile axis.
Please note that, while being close enough to let you create the best Reactors possible, this is an oversimplification of what's really going on inside your Reactor.

Moderators 3 pages
A radiation moderator is a block or fluid that can be placed inside the Reactor to absorb part of the radiation emitted by the fuel and move heat away from the Fuel Rods.
A particular moderator could convert radiation to heat more or less efficiently than another one, or could absorb more radiation than others. Or it could conduct heat way better than it's companions.
A particular moderator could convert radiation to heat more or less efficiently than another one, or could absorb more radiation than others. Or it could conduct heat way better than it's companions.
Or it could be dirty cheap but extremely inefficient all around. Like air for example: it works, but barely.
Usually a rare block/fluid, or one particularly expensive to craft, has better stats than a common, or cheap, one.
Extreme Reactors register, by default, a score of vanilla and modded blocks/fluids as moderators.
Other mods or mod packs can add their own moderators or modify/remove the default ones.

Reactants 4 pages
A reactant is a chemical substance that you can use inside your Reactor to sustain a nuclear reaction.
There are two types of reactants:Fuel: literally, the fuel that sustains the nuclear chain reaction inside the Fuel RodsWaste: the byproduct of the reaction once the fuel is consumed.

Extreme Reactors register, by default, four reactants: the fuels named Yellorium and Blutonium and their associated wastes, Cyanite and Magentite.
Every reactant has a list of items that can be used to produce that reactant by, for example, inserting then in a Solid Access Port.
Yellorium, for example, can be obtained from Yellorium Ingots. Cyanite, when ejected from the Reactor, turn into Cyanite Ingots.

Pick up more Yellorium ingots and right-click on the Solid Access Port. Set the Port to Inlet mode and place your ingots in the input slot.
The ingots will be quickly consumed by the Reactor and turned into fuel.
Open the Controller interface and turn your Reactor on!

As the Reactor heats up, energy is slowly being produced and the internal energy buffer filled.
To use the energy stored inside the Reactor you need to connect some sort of energy pipe or a machine to the Active Forge Power Tap.
The Power Tap will send out energy to the connected block (if it can accept it)

The Turbine (3)
Inner workings 2 pages
How does a Turbine generate energy?
By spinning its Rotor.
The fluid from the Turbine Vapor Fluid Tank is pumped in the Rotor chamber, at the rate you configured in the Controller graphical interface.
A small amount of the vapor it's captured by each Rotor Blade making the Rotor spin.
By spinning its Rotor.
The fluid from the Turbine Vapor Fluid Tank is pumped in the Rotor chamber, at the rate you configured in the Controller graphical interface.
A small amount of the vapor it's captured by each Rotor Blade making the Rotor spin.
When the Induction Coils are engaged, energy is generated depending on the Rotor speed and the average values of properties like efficiency and drag amount of all your your coil blocks.
Please note that, while being close enough to let you create the best Turbines possible, this is an oversimplification of what's really going on inside your Turbine.

Inductor Coils 3 pages
An Inductor Coil is a block, usually metallic, that can be placed around the Rotor shaft and that, while engaged, will extract energy from it while slowing it down.
A particular coil could be more efficient at extracting energy from the spinning Rotor than another one, or may extract energy more rapidly then others.
A particular coil could be more efficient at extracting energy from the spinning Rotor than another one, or may extract energy more rapidly then others.
Usually a rare block, or one particularly expensive to craft, has better stats than a common, or cheap, one.
Extreme Reactors register, by default, a score of vanilla and modded blocks as Inductor Coils.
Other mods or mod packs can add their own moderators or modify/remove the default ones.

Only valid coils can be placed inside the Turbine, around it's Rotor shaft. Invalid blocks will prevent the Turbine multiblock from forming.
Blocks that can be used as Inductor Coils are marked with a special tooltip that you can see if you want to spoiler yourself and you have enabled the Advanced Tooltips feature of Minecraft (F3 + H).

The Rotor 8 pages
The Rotor is the most important component of your Turbine as its design will have a direct impact on the energy production of the Turbine.
A Rotor is built using four types of blocks:a single Rotor Bearingsome Rotor Shaft blocksa number of Rotor Bladesa single Housing block.

Building the Rotor
The Rotor can be build following any of the three axis (X, Y, or Z) of the Turbine.
The first block of your Rotor mush be a Rotor Bearing placed on one face of the Turbine, usually in the middle.
Starting from the bearing, place down as many Rotor Shaft blocks as needed to reach the opposite face of the Turbine where it should meet a Housing there.

Starting from the bearing, place down as many Rotor Shaft blocks as needed to reach the opposite face of the Turbine where it should meet a Housing there.
After the shaft is complete, it's time to place some Rotor Blades down. They can be placed in any position that is perpendicular, and adjacent, to a Rotor Shaft or next to an already placed blade.
Your Rotor can have as many blades as you like, in any combination.
However, it's important to note that the number of blades, along with their vapor capacity, has a direct relation to the Rotor speed.

However, it's important to note that the number of blades, along with their vapor capacity, has a direct relation to the Rotor speed.
How many Blades?
Each Blade variant come with a maximum vapor capacity, the maximum amount of vapor they can capture and use to spin the Rotor.
Hover on a Blade in your inventory to see it's capacity.
Use this value to calculate how many Blades you need to handle the vapor flow rate you've set for your Turbine (in the Controller graphical interface).

Inductor Coils
To actually generate energy, you need to place al least some Inductor Coils at the end of your Rotor (near the closing Housing block.
And remember to engage them in the Controller graphical interface!
You can place up to three rings of coils, each ring consisting of up to eight coil blocks.

You can place up to three rings of coils, each ring consisting of up to eight coil blocks.
Mixing coil types is permitted and, if you do so, the Turbine will make the average of the values of their properties.
Doing so allows you to start with easily available, or cheap, coils and then replace them gradually instead of waiting to have the more rare or expensive coils on hand.
In the following page you can see the example Rotor shown previously with some Inductor Coils added.
