Factorio Nuclear Reactor Blueprints

Tileable designs are built to be pasted side by side, often as long thin strips, and many gain output as copies join because neighbouring reactors share the bonus. For very large factories there are complete blocks of 16 to 192 reactors, such as a 5.6 GW tile on a 50 x 50 grid and plants of 9.9, 12.5, 19 and 30 GW.

A reactor burns each fuel cell for 200 seconds even when nobody uses the power, so designs that save fuel only insert a cell when the reactor has cooled or stored steam is low. In 2.0 a reactor can report its temperature and fuel directly, which is how many of these plants manage without steam tanks. Filter by fuel handling to choose robot delivery, belt feeding or plants that leave fuelling to you.

5 designs are made for Aquilo and send part of their heat to keep buildings warm, so they give less electricity than the same reactors elsewhere. 8 designs place uncommon, rare or legendary entities, which need the quality system of Space Age; their pages say how much they understate. Two designs, by their authors' notes, need mods (Bots Bots Bots and Bob's Inserters) and are marked on their pages.

The output on every card is computed by this site from the decoded blueprint, using normal-quality numbers: 40 MW of heat per reactor plus 40 MW for each fuelled neighbour, at most 10 MW per heat exchanger and 5.82 MW per turbine. A plant delivers the smallest of those three totals. Designers often round or name the peak from stored steam, so when the name and the computed figure differ, the design page explains why.

Every string was exported from a Factorio 2.0 version between 2.0.7 and 2.0.77; designs exported by the 2.1 experimental version were left out because they may not import into 2.0. Older 1.1 nuclear books were not used. This site decoded each string and counted its reactors, exchangers and turbines, but did not import them in the game.
