The issue still persists.
You can place Plutonium Power Mox Reactors directly touching each other, and their adjacency bonuses work just fine.
Likewise, you can have Realistic Reactors touching each other and profiting from adjacency bonus.
But when you either place 248k reactors next to each other, or connect 2 already placed 248k reactors with a heat pipe, you get a lua crash:
The mod Realistic Reactors (3.1.5) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.
