each * each = each

TL;DR Allow arithmetic combinators to have Each as both operands. What ? If both operands for an arithmetic combinators are set to Each, the output should be the result of the operand being applied to each input signal with itself. i.e. If the input is { 5 plastic, 3 stone } and the operand is *, t...

Re: Loading nuclear reactors

reactor-control.jpg I built something a little different than others I've looked at, although it's not the most compact or scalable. I have a belt running around my reactors with splitters to pull off a single fuel cell for each reactor. The splitters make sure there's always a fuel cell ready unde...

Re: Friday Facts #176 - Belts optimization for 0.15

Hm, so if I gather this correctly, if I have two parallel lines moving stuff around and I use a single splitter as a "poor man belt balancer", it'll cause relatively big slowdown compared to not having that splitter? Or will it not really be any more expensive than just a regular belt sec...

Re: Friday Facts #173 - Nuclear stuff is almost done

The best large scale configuration may be to have two long rows of reactors, offset to provide overlap between the rows. This would give most of the reactors 5x production while still making access for fuel and heat convenient. That was my conclusion, although offset would be ugly so I'm hoping you...

Re: Friday Facts #173 - Nuclear stuff is almost done

Where can you pull the heat out of the reactor, the images imply 8 boilers per reactor physical 'building', or when you have 2 reactor hooked up can you pull 16 boilers worth of heat out of just one building? What is the through-put of the heat pipes, just 8 boilers worth or can you connect, say, 6...

Re: Friday Facts #173 - Nuclear stuff is almost done

Good updates, looking forward to it. Few hopefully simple questions on reactor setups. If I have 9 reactors, 3 x 3 grid with 1 stuck in the middle. Is that valid or does each reactor require to have heat pipes attached? Is there a max distance on heat pipes? Can one heat pipe connect to multiple re...

Re: Friday Facts #173 - Nuclear stuff is almost done

a couple questions: 1) How is "adjacent" defined for the reactor bonus? Does diagonal count? Do you only need to be touching along one tile? 2) What happens with the extra U238? Is it consumed in the refinement process, or do you have to dispose of it? What if there was a "breeder&quo...
