I'll do that in no time just give me a fewMr. Tact wrote:A screenshot might be helpful, a game save would be better.

Ahhhh i'll try that thank you a alot!Mr. Tact wrote:I'm guessing from that screenshot that the heat pipes are too long. This is a "known issue" -- you need to keep them as short as possible.
I just want to slap me right now haha >.< i forgot that it just puts out 40MW. And about that pile well yea most of it happened at night at around 4-5 am my brain doesnt work that well when it's to late but i'll try that out!bobucles wrote:Good lord that pile of nuclear spaghetti! Gotta love it.
A solo nuclear reactor outputs 40MW, enough to support exactly 4 heat exchangers. You have 6 heat exchangers. Your reactor isn't getting any hotter because it's maxed out and the full 40MW are being drawn from it. It's time to scale up! But uh. This time leave a lot more free space to build it. Your nuclear reactor site will need dedicated water pumps and lines (don't build a death blob of pipes, the game hates that) for every 10-12 heat exchangers in action. The steam turbines will also take up a huge chunk of space so leave lots of room to experiment.
Nuclear reactors have a special (if not very well documented) property where if two reactors are perfectly adjacent, they multiply each other's energy output. A twin reactor (2x1) will output 80 + 100% => 160MW, and a square (2x2) reactor will output 160 +200% => 480MW worth of heat. You can make a reactor as long as you like- 2x4, 2x8, 2x30, and it'll work fine as long as you can pack in the water supply and keep the heat exchangers not too far from the reactor. Bigger reactors are obviously trickier to build of course.
It worked, thank you so much seriously and i moved everything now to a "better" place so thank you sooooooo muchbobucles wrote:Good lord that pile of nuclear spaghetti! Gotta love it.
