The Reactor Planner can be used to test Reactor designs without building them in-world, allowing a user to find out if their reactor will run smoothly or evaporate their base.More efficient designs often include a large power unit near the refineries, with multiple engines powering conductive pipe, usually gold, because of less power loss. As its internal temperature updates more frequently than that of a standard Reactor (once per tick rather than once per second), greater care must be taken to manage its heat. These Chambers can also be interacted with for inserting and removing components, Water, and Steam.Īs with the conventional Nuclear Reactor, as the Steam Reactor heats, it can start to have negative effects on the world around it (setting things on fire, giving nearby entities radiation poisoning), and if it reaches a critical temperature, it will explode violently. For each Steam Reactor Chamber adjacent to the Steam Reactor, one additional column is added, to a maximum space of 9圆. The Steam Reactor contains a 3圆 inventory space for holding components. Water is converted into Steam a rate of 1mb Water : 160mB Steam. The Steam Reactor has two 8000mB fluid tanks, one for Water, one for Steam. If no valid adjacent components are available, the Heat will be dumped into the Reactor itself. This heat is dumped into adjacent Heat Vents or similar. A single Uranium Cell produces 4 Heat/tick two adjacent cells or one Double Uranium Cell produce 12 Heat/tick (4 for each, +4 for being adjacent). However, for every 2 adjacent Uranium Cells, an additional pulse is generated, increasing the amount of Heat (and energy) they produce. A single Uranium Cell in a Reactor will not produce Heat very quickly. Uranium Cells in reactors produce a "pulse" of heat every tick. The Steam Reactor uses similar internal mechanics to the Nuclear Reactor. The energy output of a Steam Reactor is not constant it updates every tick, and increases linearly with the heat dissipated by the Steam Vents it contains. That Heat must be either dissipated (and lost), or converted into Steam via Steam Vents. The Steam Reactor is a device used to transform Uranium Cells into large amounts of Heat.
