[AddOn v1.15] Reactor heater

Sounds great I haven't built a breeder reactor yet when i do i will def try this out.
Nice job buddy

After Thought what if it used energy from the reactor to keep running?

WHOHOO! Equal and negative breeders ftw!
thank you for this I may return to breeding because of this

THANK YOU! Makes my breeding sequence easier

Did a quick sprite for myself I thought I would share in-case creator or anyone else wants it. Everyone feel free to use it however you want. Looks a lot like my space heater cept more square instead of rectangle heh.

There was 2 sprites in the original (in index mode) one colored one not so I think the creator is/may still be working on the charged/uncharged sprite rendering code, I also added the off sprite just for compliance

Thanks again for the mod!

Just rename to item_1.png and add to the IC2 jar file (@ location ic2/sprites inside the IC2 jar file)

Yeah I had two sprites in it because I wanted to have an off one for when the heater didn't heat. Haven't figured out how to do that yet. Last thing I tried it changed the sprite for every heater item in the game :

I am only a real novice coder at best but umm, unless ya havent already I would want to check the Re-Battery code as it has 5 different sprites it changes between. I would think some if conditions and connect those to the power state of the nuclear reactor that way it only glows when actually in the reactor, and then gets it glow brightness determined by the energy level contained by the heater (while in the reactor powered on). You could also go the way of how much the heater is outputting.

Also you sprite looks perfect. Exactly what it needed. So would you be ok with it if I used yours in the addon? (Off course you'll get all the credit for it )

Sure thing, although now that I slept I think it's got a little too much glow. I will try and redo it to make it a little better for ya. Also if you get the animation worked out I can add additional sprite glow levels, as many as u need.

As for the mod, still loving it , I designed one that ate up the heater energy fast, then I designed one that ate the cooling components fast. Still trying to find the correct balance for optimal breeding. I am also still on 0 chamber so lots and lots of data to process. I was only about 3 or 4 hours into breeding when I found the mod soooo, maybe me trying to be cheap and leave in the heater to maintain max heat the entire breeding process is a bad idea. I notice other designs that use lava buckets only heat to a certain point then stop.

isn't the whole point of doing a reactor to make energy as eu and keep the temperature down else the reactor will explode. i see no point to this because uranium itself will create 1 heat per tick and that is enuf to get u to 50 eu/t if u make a mark 2 reactor.

I think the idea is to be able to easily maintain a Duke Nukem over Nine Thousand reactor for epic breeding capabilities.

Is this compatible with 1.23, or should I hold of on updating?

Please update this. I'd love you forever and ever :<

This is a very good add-on and I would love to see it updated as well, especially with l3lueD4izon's sprite. We need our insane breeding reactor arrays! This is something that should be added to the complex world of IC2 nuclear reacting. (Along with the thermometer add-on)
Please! If anyone can continue this with the better sprite please do!
