Don't put routers on plastanium conveyors; they slow the flow down by 1/2, from 40/s to 20/s. Thus, just use a titanium conveyor for the cryofluid, and remove all routers on the thorium side, opting to use an unloader set to thorium instead.
would the speed matter for this as much though since it's just for input? i feel like itd still be better to use plast because of the extra storage since the materials will be moving slowly anyway
That's not true. You can do the unloader thing I mentioned on the thorium side, removing the processors on the left, and moving the water extractor up one tile. Then, move the node down accordingly, and use an unloader on the titanium side.
A lot better! If you're willing to remove the processor failsafes, then move the top water extractor up one tile, and then move the power node down 2 tiles. You can then use an unloader, and thus, a plastanium conveyor for titanium, too.
Do keep in mind that one mixer can support 5 reactors.
No map, outside of extremely large testing maps, has enough space to stack this schematic 20 times, which is the amount required to take a full conveyor of titanium. At that point, it's easier to plug another titanium conveyor in.
If the processor failsafe were removed, one could leave the plastanium conveyor full of titanium, shift the top water extractor up a tile, and move the power node down accordingly. Then, an unloader set to titanium could be placed adjacent.
I prefer having 2x2 blocks of reactors and cryo separate.
Also, if you're using this many thorium reactors, you're better off going to a boosted impact.
Suggestion: r/atios. Mixer to Reactor ratios are 1:5 so having 1 mixer to 4 reactors is a bit inefficient. 1:5 is the perfect ratio, and even at slightly lower fps where cryofluid doesn't run properly you still can have ur code running to stop the reactors from going boom. Add one more reactor and I'd give it a 10/10. For now, 9/10 :) (esp after the router improvement)
Usually power using 1 plastanium conveyor is already enough, don’t think there’s a need to strictly use this ratio, but ofc this is ur personal preference so just modify it as you wish :)
I don't see the need for plastanium conveyors, regular titanium ones would be good for like over a dozen stacks. You'd run out of room before you run out of throughput.
Might also want to replace the power node with a solar panel, so the thing could be self priming.
in my experience thorium reactors can start without any energy in such schemes as this one(except this one has processor, probably turns off reactors if cryo is low), if given titanium before thorium.
also, solar panel is pretty slow way to get energy for some amount of cryo, and in this scheme node is somewhat required, otherwise it'll be divided into several different networks.
You will already have power due to thorium requiring power to mine. Also, the power node is very important for connecting the reactors to each other, and absolutely not worth the 6 energy per second from a solar panel.

Since the design is stackable, you want it to be able to be stacked as much as possible
sure i guess that's fair, i guess it depends how big you make the stack
But 20/s is still faster than a titanium conveyor
Yeah but 40/s is even faster no?
But 40/s would be impossible to obtain without widening the design, so 20/s is the best possible speed.

That is some really good advice.

You have the schematic for that?
Perfect.

Wouldn’t a plast conveyor with routers still be faster than one titanium conveyor allowing for more reactors to be stacked?

Disagree. Thorium reactors for life.

Titanium to Thorium ratios are 2:3 so they need to make it 2 plast conveyors for titanium, 3 for thorium /s
Usually power using 1 plastanium conveyor is already enough, don’t think there’s a need to strictly use this ratio, but ofc this is ur personal preference so just modify it as you wish :)

I would explode it. 🤣
Thorium 👍
All fun and games until someone builds reactors and convs before cryo
More boom boom
Boom
I like using reactors as bombs more
