Note that LCR's, like many other multiblocks, can share walls with other LCR's. You can also lock output hatches to specific fluids using a screwdriver. To lock it to the currently held fluid (or the next to enter in case of an empty hatch), use shift rightclick. |

*One must also consider the ease of upgrading a multiblock vs upgrading a single block. Upgrading a multiblock usually involves a simple swap of the energy hatch with a new higher tier energy hatch, whereas upgrading a single block means having to build a whole new single block. |

*A single-block chemical reactor will smartly halt its operations if its liquid or item output is full. On the other hand, the LCR will continue to work as long as there is enough input liquids. This means that, by default, an LCR will void output (if its output hatches/buses are full) and will continue to do so as long as there is enough input liquids/items to perform a recipe. Note that one can fix this behavior by redstone-controlling their LCR using |
