Thank you very much, I will fire it up today, cross my fingers!

Edited to add:  Looking good so far!

Hello,

I am running Draconic Evolution 1.10.2-2.0.10.199 on a Feed The Beast Beyond (1.6.1) multiplayer server (the server has 8gb RAM dedicated to the .   I have a draconic reactor set up, pretty much stock, with basic I/O crystals on either end (draconic energy relay crystals in the middle) back to a T8 energy core with close to 300B RF stored in it. I'm using OpenComputers 1.6.2.7 and have a T3 computer, 2x2 T3 screens, max T3 RAM, T3 proc, etc and the 3 adapters set up on the drainback, output and reactor (the stabilizer with the output flux gate)...and I'm running the latest version of Draconic Control (1.42).  dc_gui works fine and shows status of everything properly, so I know all the addresses are correct. 

I warm up the reactor and power is dumped into it very quickly and the containment field jumps up to 50% right off the bat and the core temp gets up to 2000 fast.  I've been running several tests and right now my saturation is up to around 60% or so...it slowly loses power while it's off.  Here's where my problem begins.

If I activate the reactor, the shield makes a really big jump up to around 55% and the output starts dumping power out at like 300k rf/t.  I understand it's trying to reach the target saturation of 50% so it makes sense, however, if I look at the Reactor GUI, it tells me that the target shield rate is, let's say 30k rf/t and I look down at the drainback flux gate, it's only inputting around 27k and jumping back to the reactor GUI, my containment field keeps dropping and the energy saturation keeps dumping out at around 300k/t.  Meanwhile, the core temp climbs VERY slowly.  I've not let the energy saturation levels reach 50% because by the time I've dumped that much power, the containment field has dropped into the low 30%.  I keep checking the drainback flux gate and it's consistently lower than what the draconic reactor GUI is saying it needs to maintain, so my containment field keeps going down.  

So I stomp on the shutdown button, which causes the energy saturation to climb and the computer keeps lowering the input to the core, but always lower than what the reactor GUI says it needs. 

I am using the stock configuration (copied it from the website and put it in /etc/draconic_control.cfg) have all parts of my setup chunkloaded (reactor and T8 energy core, all cables, computer, etc..) however, I've never left the chunk it's running in cause this thing scares the crap out of me

Shouldn't the computer keep the containment field at least 50% constantly, except in shutdown?  I've not just 'let it go' to see what happens, not looking for anymore holes in my game. 

What would REALLY be awesome would be if someone would put up a Youtube video of the startup sequence so reactor newbies could see what happens/expected behaviors.  

Thank you for reading this far down and I look forward to any comments/suggestions that anyone might have. 

Thanks!
