About this build

Two reactors side by side, so each gets the neighbour bonus: four times the power of a single reactor for twice the fuel. It has 2 nuclear reactors, 16 heat exchangers and 30 steam turbines.

Maxiume built it for his nuclear power tutorial, which walks through placing it and fuelling it. The numbers behind reactor layouts are in the nuclear reactor ratio guide.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 48 × 49 tiles.
  • It works in the base game without Space Age.
  • It includes roboports, so it can extend your logistic network and let robots build the rest.
  • It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
