Reactor Heat Exchanger wierdness

    I'm having a bit of trouble with the reactor heat exchangers. It seems like what would appear to be identical components are getting more than their fair share of heat and melting. I was trying to build this http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…92rkpz3abp9xu7jz3swjs95z9


    As you can see, one of the heat exchangers melts for no reason, the other is fine. if I place 2 sets of cells and 2 exchangers it works ok

    Screwing around some more I got this, which makes absolutely no sense.

    How can these components melt themselves in a reactor with no heat source at all? They're supposed to share heat equally with the hull. Once they melt themselves, the other components sit there fine. Replacing them with air/plating lets yields the same result of no components melted


    I dont think it's the same as the bug/feature mentioned in this thread Uneven heating: bug or feature? because replacing the melting components with empty space results in no components melting. The lower components should be seeing the exact same reactor conditions as the uppers would have, since no component alters the reactor state before they're updated

    I have no idea why this happens. But have you tried it with an ingame reactor? It might simply be a bug of the web tool.

    reactors process components one by one in left to right, top to bottom order it does that for every component once per second ( reactor tick) so components higher and further to the left process first. you need to design reactors with that in mind ( thus why people put uranium at the topleft in designs usually)

    Omicron Not yet, I was hoping there'd be an obvious answer


    Tomcat Yes, I know, thats why I underlined that bit in my post and also stated that I suspected it has nothing to do with the bug/feature you just mentioned, which I linked
