Nuclear newb has an emergency

    The water around my reactor has started to evaporate, I've deactivated the reactor and removed the Uranium, but the water won't stop evaporating. Help me!!

    Put some freaking cooling in. If there's no heat vents there will never be any cooling.


    You may be using an old guide too, as of something or other before I started playing water outside the reactor doesn't cool it down.

    coolant cells only absorb heat, they don't vent it.


    I really suggest starting with Alkabla's guide, and the uranium cell page on the wiki (has information on calculating heat).

    Does the reactor have to be running for the Reactor Heat Vent to work? Does it have to have uranium in it?


    Also, does having water around the reactor not cool it anymore?

    I am fairly certain it will cool while off but have never built anything that wasn't a Mark I or a hole in the ground.


    And no, external water does not provide cooling any more.

    450 EU/t?! Mind linking me (or showing me on the reactor planner)? I haven't seen a Mk 1 go that high...


    Edit: Because I haven't been looking at ones that cost horrifying amounts of copper for quads... Sheesh.
