XyFreak 36 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 It SHOULD work with T2/T2.5 (the installer needs lots of ram) components but as always I recommend you just go with T3 stuff to make sure everything runs smoothly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Minoslo 0 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Hi @XyFreak I installed your program recently and I think there is a bug or something on it. When I press the "On/Off" buttom to turn On/Off the reactor, it doesnt work. When I try to put it off it goes for max energy out-put (O% rod inserted). I dont know if this is normal or not because I dont simply understand how the new UI works. I dont know how Charge mode works to be hones and I cant find info about it. Thanks you so much, thanks for the controller, hope see future programs. Pd: Sorry about my english, it is not my native language. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi @Minoslo Can you give me some more info? How is your reactor built? Active/Passive? Did you connect some sort of energy storage to the computer via an adapter? What do you mean by when you tried to put if off? Did you try to turn off the reactor via the GUI? That should just.... turn it off (reactor controller block turning red). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Minoslo 0 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Thank you so much for that fast answer @XyFreak. I will give more info and try to show you with some screenshots what happen when I try to turn off my reactor via the GUI. It is a pasive reactor whose core is 9x9 square (13x13 with casing), 3 blocks tall. I have 2 Redstone Flux Port on it and both conected to two Induction Matrix from Mekanism, and those are conected to the computer through adapters. The computer is completely tier 3 with a 5x5 screen tier 3 too. When I ran the program for the first time (parameters by default), calibration mode started and everything went well. It finished and then, the reactor turned on, it started to produce RF until reach the optimal rate (0 wight at this moment, just charging Matrixes). In that moment I tried to turn it off and then ,I went to the reactor to check it, and what I saw, it was the reactor full working (100% Temperature, 0% rods insertion). I have tried to make it all in a new computer but the result have been the same unfortunaly. Those are some screenshots about it: (Read it top to bottom, left to right, middle picture is what happen when "ON/OFF" is red after have been active)https://gyazo.com/e56e390c379769e29ec3b91ea54f690c Thanks you so much.

XyFreak 36 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ah ok I see what you did. The ON/OFF switch you pressed is not doing what you think it does You turned off the GRID controller, which caused the reactor control to fall back to standalone mode. Since you're draining the reactors buffer into your induction matrix, the controller assumed that you are using more energy than you can produce and thus the reactor was running full throttle. If you want to turn off the reactor you need to go to the "Reactors" (or "Combined") Tab and disable the reactor from there (click on the reactors bar). CHARGE mode only does something if you have more than one reactor / turbine connected. Essentially it powers up every component and sets them to optimal levels to charge your energy storage.

Minoslo 0 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Man, thanks you so much for that fast info. Now everything got sense . I didnt even know I could see more GUI pressing bars. Again, hope to see future programs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Minoslo 0 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Hi again @XyFreak I hope to not be bothering you with my questions , this one is not long though. I was upgrading the same reactor that I show you, making it 12 blocks tall counting the casing (10 blocks tall just of fuel rods). I just want to know if the controller should keep the reactor at the optimal producing level, because it is actually not doing it. It is connected to the same Induction Matrix, there is just 320 RF/t average consumption, and the only thing that I changed was the coolant, what is now "Vapor of levity" rather than "Cryotheum", because technically it is 5ºC better than the "Cryotheum". As my last thing to say , there is a thing that standed me out, what it is the optimal producing level. Making the reactor so much taller than the other one, it is just 1KRF/t higher now, (it is just surprising me, I have no idea how The Controller makes the calculation of that internally though). Thank you so much, especially because you keep solving questions after years of the release of the program. Here some screenshots of that : Edited February 17, 2019 by Minoslo There was a useless screenshot, I have made another one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 If you extended your reactor you need to make sure BRGC recalibrates it or otherwise it won't know that the reactor is now different. There are multiple ways to do this: Break & replace reactor computer port (this causes the old config to still be present somewhere tho) Remove the config file ( rm /etc/br_control.cfg ) then reboot do a brgcctrl recalibrate <first three characters of reactor address here> I recommend (3) but (2) is propably easier than that and way cleaner than (1) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Minoslo 0 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi man, you are fast...holy... I tried (1) : I took my hard disk, threw it to the void and then made a new one. I come up it would not work so then I tried (3). I never tried (2). Could be possible that (1) messed up everything? I can unistall the mod and intall it again, or just delete some folder that you let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Nah that won't be necessary. If calibration fails that badly, that usually means your reactor has an efficiency curve where its most efficient point is VERY close to 100% rod insertion (in your case that'd be ~97%). Sorry but i don't think you can get brgc to work properly with your design. I just checked and when ran at peak efficiency, the 9x9 core is indeed a tad more efficient than 4 individual 3x3 cores ( https://br.sidoh.org/#reactor-design?length=11&width=11&height=10&activelyCooled=false&controlRodInsertion=91&layout=24C3XC3X4C3XC3X4C3XC3X15C3XC3X4C3XC3X4C3XC3X24C ) (I usually go for a 3x3 grid of 3x3 cores like that). If you are a bit savvy then can you try editing /usr/lib/brgc/reactor_base.lua ? There is a line that looks like this (right near the top): local reactorCalibrationMaxOutput = {0.01,0.02,0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2,0.25,0.3,0.35,0.4,0.5,0.6,0.7,0.75,0.8,0.9,1} Can you add 0.03 and 0.04 between 0.02 and 0.05 ? And 0.075 between 0.05 and 0.1? Maybe that already hels in your case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Minoslo 0 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Okey, I am trying that solution for now but I think you are right about my desing. It is bad, just it, so I will change it. Would you recomend some big desing to work perfect with the controller? I'm sorry, I dont know If I should ask that kind of question to you, if not just let me know. Anyway I will try to solve it first to give you info. Thank you so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Well the design i posted is a drop-in replacement for your current design with no changes to the exterior required so you can go for that if you want to - it's up to you in the end As i mentiond in my last post: 3x3 cores or rings work very well as long as there's one layer of coolant between them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CygnusiaX1 0 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi there, I have a quick (and hopefully not stupidly overlooked) question. Is the screen display supposed to update regularly? I actually have to click the screen to get any sort of update. Also, it won't suspend/shutdown/resume until I force-update with a click. Thank you for the help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 @CygnusiaX1 the screen "updates" every second (it only redraws stuff that needs to be redrawn tho) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CygnusiaX1 0 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 @XyFreak Hmmm... I don't know what's going on, then. The screen will remain as a static image until I interact with it, then it will update to current information. When I first calibrated, I let it sit for a good minute or so, then clicked on the screen and my progress bars would jump to latest readings from the reactor/turbine. Another click a minute alter and the screen updates again. But there's no progress changes between those clicks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrisingrAerowing 12 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 @XyFreakDid you see my suggestion for RFTools Power compat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 @CygnusiaX1 Can you check if its related to some mod you are using ( *hint* optifine *hint* ) - the shell cursor should be blinking if you just leave the pc on after booting @BrisingrAerowing I did but I forgot about it. `rftools_powercell` is already part of the whitelist. If your mod changes that then please add it to `/usr/lib/brgc/energy_storage_component.lua` and let me know if it works - i'll add it if it does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(shutdown, disabled Optifine, restart) I do have a blinking cursor, but I still have to click to manually refresh the screen. I am using a modified version of FTB Revelations, with all mods updated to their latest versions (except Extreme Reactors... their prepping/flattening for 13 fubar'd my Yellorite gen in my world, so I rolled back to the version before.) EDIT: If I reboot the computer, I have the blinking cursor. If I run the GUI and exit, no more blinky... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrisingrAerowing 12 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 @XyFreak Not the powercell, This Mod. It has a multiblock power storage system that uses 64 bit integers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axstarz 0 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi @XyFreak It's my first post in this topic And sorry for my bad english (hello from France) I have the same issue of @CygnusiaX1. The screen has a static image. There is a solution and it is just me ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I do not have a solution for this issue - the gui is using a timer to redraw stuff - if it suddenly stops drawning then i don't think there's anything wrong with the program. In order for me to test things out I need you to tell me the version of OC, ER and propably your forge version as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Okay.I have create an another modpack to see if is my modpack and,on the other modpack i have the problem.I using the last version of ER(0.4.5.65) and for OC i also use the last version(1.7.4.153) for Forge, i have the 14.23.5.5.2815. Thank for your program PS: I see that when i press "enter" continuous, the screen is actualising i that can help you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XyFreak 36 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hey guys, I've been able to confirm this issue after updating OpenOS - unless I can say for sure it's not an issue on my end I'm not gonna bisect the OpenOS version it starts happening on tho... tbc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Axstarz 0 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Okay thank you very much :) this is an important problem because, I see that the program don't work because All the program is not actualising. To see that, I launch your program with a passive reactor I consume energy and when I "update the screen" the heat at 1000° and go down because the program stop it (I can't screen sorry:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
