Suggestion: Cooling blocks for nuclear reactor

  • Block name:
    I don't know. Maybe Small/Medium/Large Cooler.


    Description:
    Copper and Gold are good heat conductors. Use them for external reactor cooling, like water/air. Gives better cooling then water, not evaporate it, but is very expensive.
    Each block in 3x3x3 reactor's cooling space provides 1.25 - 1.75 external cooling.
    Reactor with 6 chambers and 20x air block cooling (0.25 each) = -18h/s
    Reactor with 6 chambers and 20x water block cooling (1.00 each) = -33h/s
    Reactor with 6 chambers and 20x small cooler (1.25 each) = -38h/s (720 copper ingots)
    Reactor with 6 chambers and 20x medium cooler (1.5 each) = -43h/s (360 copper ingots and 360 gold ingots)
    Reactor with 6 chambers and 20x large cooler (1.75 each) = -48h/s (720 gold ingots)


    Recipes:
    P = Carbon Plate (for durability)
    H = Integrated Heat Dispenser (for better heat transfer from reactor to outside)
    A = Advanced Alloy (for durability)
    C = Copper Block (block, not ingot, heat conductor)
    G = Gold Block (block, not ingot, better heat conductor)


    Small Cooler (2x Carbon Plate, 1x Integrated Heat Dispenser, 2x Advanced Alloy, 4x Copper Block):
    PCP
    CHC
    ACA
    Each block provides 1.25 external cooling.


    Mediuml Cooler (2x Carbon Plate, 1x Integrated Heat Dispenser, 2x Advanced Alloy, 2x Copper Block, 2x Gold Block):
    PCP
    GHG
    ACA
    Each block provides 1.5 external cooling.


    Large Cooler (2x Carbon Plate, 1x Integrated Heat Dispenser, 2x Advanced Alloy, 4x Gold Block):
    PGP
    GHG
    AGA
    Each block provides 1.75 external cooling.

  • I could also see this idea being expanded as a way to freeze standing water into ice, lol...

    Would anyone like to try a Slowpoke Tail?! Only 1 Million Yen!

    this isn't about arrogance or ego, I have a block that I put a lot of freaking work into


    Every Mod Author, in existence. And yet, you STILL say otherwise.

  • I think this is a good idea, however, they should only be able to be directly attached to a reaction chamber. Solves the balance issues and makes it look nice :)
