I'm fairly new to IC2. This whole mod is callenging, yet interesting, but recently I discovered the whole new game of nuclear engineering. Ever since I ran into reactor planner, I even almost stopped playing Minecraft itself, but still, my designs lack any true, in-depth understanding of how the components work. I've read Albaka's guides, but they only gave me the general idea of what's supposed to happen. So please, explain like i'm 5:
- The difference between core (heat) and hull (heat)?
- The copper and diamond heatswitch physics? I have no idea what the copper one is for, and I assume that the diamond one takes up to 24 heat from sides and 8 from core, divides the sum by 5 (4 sides+core) and sends the resulting heat back; The excess heat goes into it's own durability.
- Heat vents, especially the golden one? I assume that it takes x heat from up to 4 sides + up to 36 from the hull and then substracts 20; The excess heat goes into it's own durability.
- How in the world is this different from this ? Why does simply copying it without using another reactor doesn't work either?
Thank you in advance!
