power generators VS nuclear reactors : still unpatched ?

[[DBH].Whismerhill.{SSgt}]

does power generators still produce more energy/s ?
(while nuclear reactors have the storage capacity advantage)
I thought this would have been patched ?

where do you see nuclear reactors having lower output

https://www.reddit.com/r/foshelter/comments/3a0p7v/room_efficiency_data_thread/
and many other threads talk about it
energy per second is very slightly higher on power generators at same width & upgrade levels

[Tetsuri]

so wdf am I supposed to be looking at.

Everything says that nuclear plants produce moar energy than power plants. You must have not understood the data and confused yourself.

For ever ago, nuclear plants have always produced moar power than power plants.

Perhaps instead of relying on 2yr old threads, build both and compare for yourself.

Nuclear - 85 power, 55 seconds
Power Plant - 66 power, 47 Seconds
Nuclear 85x8=680 55x8/60=7.333etc
Power Plant 66x10=660 47x10/60=7.83

This could still be wrong but it is just what I tested in my vault
The same dwellers in the 2 rooms got the above results for time and power output (all max stats)
you would need to get the Power Plant collecting 10 times to get close to the same output of collecting the Nuclear Reactor 8 times
Collecting the Power Plant 10 times to the Nuclear Reactors 8 takes more time

I would call it patched
Either way with 100 Dwellers even with Rad Scorpions it shouldn't be a problem using either one

unless I cheat a vault to do that, this is not an option yet for me in my current vault, hence why I'm gathering data & yes I'm well aware of the date of those .

BTW, it's not only about the production. Even if they were dead even on production, the reactor has way more storage so is hands down the better option.

haaaaa
exactly the data I wanted, not sure what are those calculations though ...
nuclear : 85 power / 55 seconds = 1,54 power per second
power : 66 power / 47 seconds = 1.40 power per second

so according to those numbers you produce more power per second in a nuclear plant

actually I have plenty of space in my vault, and already used empty power generator rooms just to increase storage. I could stay with 6 slotted power generator rooms & empty nuclear rooms just for storage .... :)

for example I used to have 12 dwellers working in two generator rooms & a total of 5 power generators 3 wide, upgraded to level 2 (cause level 3 incidents are a bit too annoying for my dwellers & me for now), which means 3 empty rooms

well, I did a search, and a post back in 2015 shows that nuclear reactors have always produced moar power than power plants, and no one had ever claimed otherwise.

[Der Hexer]

maybe it's confusing because of the greater storage space of the nuclears? guess there was a post about it's being suboptimal to have too much energy (and other) storage, because of the way the incidents are draining the resources.
i still prefer to have more resources in storage, even if the loss is greater this way and i don't even know if it's true

[Ryuu]

I think it's confusing because they take more time to produce portion of power especially without maxed out dwellers. So when players used power generators all was well for them, but with nuclear reactors power was constantly jumping from green and red and forth.

[Der Hexer]

i let my power generators running before building the nuclear generators so i can't really tell if there was a difference. at the end - even with a high dweller count - you can completely run your vault without any nuclear generators.
