Re: 0.15 Reactor Ratio

That said even if I would be able to control the input... I wouldn't know how to use Storage Tanks to my advantage because of the huge delay it takes for the heat to propagate down the heat pipes. So I might use it to shut the reactors down but when tunring back on it takes forever to heat up again...

Re: 0.15 Reactor Ratio

I was considering storing the output from my first reactor in tanks, but not as a buffer. I think it would be cool to do power production on-site in my various bases, all powered by visits from the "steam train". Dumb idea? sure, but playing a challenge game where you don't run any long d...

Re: [Help] Display the whole value of items.

Hello. Is there a way to not shorten the numbers in the game, but display the full value, ect. 23499 Light oil, and not 23.5K Maybe a mod? I've searched, but found nothing. Thanks in advice. Usually, if i really want to see the full value of something, i just split that into several values each wit...

Re: 0.15 Reactor Ratio

These numbers get really interesting when you calculate Resources/MW. Basically what we want by doing all that math is getting most bang for our buck right? I didn't see the need to calculate resources/MW for myself since numbers like 0.00006666 vs 0.00005714 U-238/MW per second (4 vs 8 centrifuges...

Re: 0.15 Reactor Ratio

So i've been playing with stability in a 100% loaded system. This is where i'm at. 157MW Stable. 27 Turbines, 16 heat, 2 reactors. Comments? You are missing ~3 MW (i believe it's 2.91 MW) by using 1 less turbine than your reactors can support. Using water tanks as a buffer for Nuclear production is...

Re: Nuclear Power at Priority 1

Why is everyone talking about wasting power generated by nuclear reactor? I just don't get it. Just store steam generated from 1 cycle of your reactors in storage tanks, turbines will not waste any energy, they will generate exact amount by demand. And start every cycle of your reactors once you are...

Re: 0.15 Reactor Ratio

This also raises the point that you would not want Nuclear as a backup power system. If you use SR Latches to control Emergency Power systems you would have your priority as Nuclear > Solar > Accumulators > Boilers. I disagree. I think nuclear power is the best power system in the game right now to...
