Hey guys, thanks a lot for the input. I will try to tweak the core first and then go to the heat pipe layout again. I wasn't aware you can use empty reactors as heat pipe... that's an interesting solution.
Further comments appreciated, I will keep you informed on my progress!

Hi, I need help with a heat pipe / heatexchanger / turbine layout, pls! I made this very compact ~10GW nuclear reactor core, but due to the small size and the restrictions in heat pipe length, I haven't found a working layout for heat pipes, water, heat exchangers and turbines yet. I have been tinke...

Alternative idea which may require less implementation: As a user, you can save the current state of the game. The server holds an optional buffer of previous commands. Upon connection, if you have the save file and it is within the buffer period, then load the save and fast forward to the current ...

Me and a friend have been working on a factory for quite some time now. We only play on this map together, so we always have the same savegame. It is kind of exhausting to have to download the map every single time (and meanwhile it takes quite a bit). So here is my idea: Synchronized savegames: - b...

Maximum throughput rocket silo. Includes production for low density structure and rocket control units. Rocket fuel is provided external. Satellites build on site. known bottlenecks: copper plates! there are 5 blue belts of Cu plates input. You can't loose more than half a belt without slowing the s...

long story short... I tweaked the original design I posted in November with a few pumps and a few additional pipes here and there.
Result: constant energy output of 1.9something GW in a 2.05 Design. Fine enough for me.

here is the tweaked print

Hey guys, thanks a lot for the feedback... It may take a while until I come up with a design that includes your suggestions. I'll update this as soon as I can find the time to tinker around with the steam issue.

First post here! OK, my reactor is desigend to produce 2.05 GW, but he only brings 1.7 to 1.8 GW. Where is the problem?
