Realistic Reactors


Add realistic nuclear reactors including a breeder reactor type and cooling tower. The reactors must be controlled through integrated circuit interface signals. The thermal energy output is dynamic and depends on reactor core temperature. The reactors require sophisticated designs of their cooling system and heat-pipe network. If the operational conditions aren't met then a reactor core meltdown with dangerous consequences occurs

i Rotating the reactor?

5 years ago

Is this possible? If so, please do it.

No, it's too complicated...

Possible is rotating the ECCS (meaning that the 4 pipe connections would be rotatable), but its ugly and doesn't work perfectly.
If you want to test this you need to remove the "not-rotatable" flag from the ECCS entity (in line 376 in the entities.lua). Then you can mouse over the eccs (bottom left and right on the reactor) and press R to rotate.
Make a separate save before you do that ;)

Ok. I didn't really need it anyways, just thought if it would be possible because it could make some more compact 4-reactor-each-with-4-pumps setup. :D
