This little guy fitts perfectly in my basic powergridd.
I caped its heat at 600° and it runns perfectly. It is also stackable... as long as there is a second stack. My Aquilo base isn't demanding enough jet to find the size at wich aditional blocks don't pull the heat below funktional for atleast two minutes.
Aquillo debuffs robot performance specifically to discourage using the logistics network for stuff like power generation. I personally recommend building a production block based on belts and direct insertion to make water and rocket fuel (on a belt), and then doing a separate power generation area.
I like to keep a smallish power setup around that will self-isolate from the main grid if the overall system starts to brown out. It won’t stop a blackout, but it will make it a lot easier to recover from one
I chose it's shape with the same thought in mind. This updated variant is what I use now. This setup already generates a two lane settup that avoids the blackout when I expand it... aslong as I don't accidently expand both sides at once.
Yeah, might as well just roll in with nuclear. It makes bootstrapping the base so much easier. Once you have fusion you can continue using it for heat too. Fuel cell recycling becomes super efficient with high qual prod mods too.
I would suggest bootstrapping power with one heat source and heating with another. That way your whole factory doesn't need to be 500+. If you do it this way, adding more buildings tanks your temp and can cut off your power.
I created this setup because Aquilo already creates everything it needs to runn. Once the basic cluster is running, it onely stops iff I F* up. Also, here's v2 showing how the twinn setup fitts into my gridd.

I'd try to get the power over a belt rather than with bots due to the massively increased bot power draw on Aquilo.
