That shouldn't happen, unless you're using a version prior to 5.0.0-dev

I am running current git head of Minetest which is Detected Git version 5.0.0-dev-debug-5a00b118

Weirdly I just noticed if I play in creative and break a tank that has contents then I get the correct thing back however in survival I dont

I cannot reproduce this, sorry :/
By chance, are you using item_drop? I know for a fact that dropped item entities do not retain the appropriate metadata.

I really love this mod! but I dont get exactly how nuclear generators work :P ... can anyone explain me how to use steam turbine?

Various topics on Elepower Wiki have been updated and continue being updated, such as the Fission Reactor setup.

See the newly updated wiki article.

First alpha release of the year, Alpha 12 has been released on the ContentDB. It includes changes to fission reactors, new machine upgrades, bunch of fixes and more progress on the fusion reactor setup.

You should add a wind turbine generator to this mod, maybe build a structural of a big wind turbine with Rotor block spawning the blades in shape of entity?

My first nuclear reactor fission generator.

Ive finally got my answers from the last question about using fission, Im moving to how fusion reactor works for a bit, thanks to the Wiki!

Sweet! Currently there is no way to set up fusion because there's a few steps missing from the process. I'll announce when it's ready to use as always. You can however set up the torus and deuterium production already.

In Technic, you could use corium to generate uranium for power, does this mod have anything like that? And, can a nuclear reactor melt down?

Yes, Wiki says when the core heated in around 80 will cause it melt down, I never tried it

No, there is no corium (yet) and the meltdown is just the core node being removed. This will change.

did a singleplayer game with the mod running.
I laid out 10 solar panels in a row, connected them together, right clicked on one solar panel, toggled the button in the upper right, and i get this error.

Yes! I got the same problem too, this is a weird problem and wished to be fixed. I have to forcibly disable the elepower_solar in the mod configure and join the game and remove the unknown node to save world from keep crashing...

This mod is for Minetest 5.0. You're using Minetest 0.4.x, which doesn't support those features

Ok

How do I get 0.5.0?

If on Linux build from source, or try the daily ppa.
https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+ar ... ily-builds

On Windows or Mac you could build from source as well, not sure about builds for those platforms as I don't use either of them.

i only have a server running 4.17.1

An uncooled fission reactor core will now melt into Corium. Also, I think I finally managed to fix the pump.

Does damaging radiation exist in this modpack? Also, is the MP still dependent on fluid_lib?

No, not yet at least and yes, forever will be.

A simple wind turbine

maybe as of this, mods have to be signed also in subject text, what version they are for, or separate the mod threads ?
I am really confused about compatibly between 0.4.x and 5.0, but that is another thread worth

I don't understand what you're trying to say. The OP clearly states that this mod is for 5.0.0-dev.

What about adding battery nodes to hold a lot of juice, and steam turbines, for realistic, simple power generation?
