The "tall" and the "wide" designs are really just standard dwarven reactors thrown all-up-ons a four stage repeater perfected elsewhere.

The "two-step twink" design pattern is a significantly more optomized and compact two stage repeater design, and planned with walkability during and after construction in mind.

This could be arranged much more compactly in the y- coordinate if one didn't mind the control gear in the reactor being submerged, but that would also require redesigning the gear layer of the repeater so that gears are only on top of the dark green pump areas. Unfortunately, the two pumps in the reactor still can't be unified in any design where you have an axle going down, and it's also quite difficult to have the reactor under the repeater because one can't get past the pressure plate layer. I didn't bother placing all access paths necessary for construction on this plan, obviously.

(the grate shown is to circumvent the walkability issue that this would otherwise produce.) it's completely possible to fill the reactor chamber to the brim after it's been started; this may make it slightly easier to insure it never goes dry.

You can probably tell I have a wide-screen monitor.
