[0.15.11] Problem with Heat pipes

Post by MrRoan »

Seems the changes to Heat Pipes is causing problems with bigger reactor setups.
I can on longer get the heat from my 4 reactors to all 48 heat exchangers. It cools down to under 500C after about halfway.
Not sure if its intended or a bug. But it has been running for about an hour without significant increase.
The max power with full load on this setup is now 290MW from 4x4 reactors.

Thanks for the report,

The mechanics have been changed, so naturally some setups will not work any longer

I now have 7 desings that do not work perfect anymore. I dont see how a build with more than 8 reactors is possible now when it is very hard to get a good 8 reactor setup. It shouldnt be THAT hard.
