gollark: I don't want tiny compact-machine-fitting things (well, I kind of do, but separate to giant, awe-inspiring ones incorporating fusion plasma injectors of death, hopefully), I want giant ones requiring huge amounts of infrastructure to support it, with cool visual effects, massive (actually fitting, you know, a *fusion* reactor) power output (ideally via steam turbines), that sort of thing.
gollark: Also, I hope the new fusion reactors take inspiration from ReactorCraft.
gollark: The mekanism ones are a bit crazy. If you want oxygen, feeding the separator RF from its own hydrogen run through a gas-burning generator, *it works fine*.
gollark: Even when I had about 8 upgraded ones.
gollark: The nuclearcraft ones are just too slow.
