First time reactor. Rate it please

    Hey all this is dragonherald and I constructed a reactor meant to run all the cells down with little to no maintenance tell me how i did. http://test.vendaria.net/index…PHCUCHPHCUUCHPHPPHPHCHHCH


    EDIT: I'm not adept at using the simulator program. I would like some feedback on how to properly use that tool

    That's a rather cool idea, but a lone tree is suspicious, better plant some more. So really... forget about solar-flowers, solar-trees are the next generation :P

    It's a Mark IV barely. You had the cooling cell that was pretty much surrounded by the sets of 3 U Cells get destroyed, but that was it. Besides that, it was a Mark II-1C.


    Personally I don't like reactors unless they get near a Mark II-10X, so I can't rate it too high on my personal ideology. You could have possibly replaced a lot of the reactor plates with Cooling Cells instead though to help with the cooling measures. But that's just nitpicking. For a first reactor design, it's not terrible.

    thanks for the feedback. Are the reactor plates not worth it because it really doesn't cool that well or because it cant distribute heat well?

    Because HDs in most cases can do a plates job, only better. The goal is to maximize coolants, and minimize everything else :)

    So close yet so far. so very very far.

    Generally you shouldn't use any reactor platings in a non-breeder reactor, cos the goal is to maximize the cooling.


    Example:

    It will need like an hour CD between runs though

    what about the cost-efficiency ratio? Whats your oppinion on that?
