Modular Reactor Modes
Modes
There are 3 possible modes for the Reactor to operate in. In all modes there is a spin up time starting the reactor and changing the reactor clock setting
Overclocking the Reactor above 100% (or 150% with coolant) will result in the reactor gaining heat , reaching the max temperature will cause the reactor to trigger an emergency shutdown Underclocking the reactor will cause it to loose heat.
|
You can see the current Reactor Heat in the Reactor Foundation screen, you can see the heat per cycle in the IO Modules screen |
Stats
These stats are with shielding MK. 3 rings and Reactor Cooling rings with coolant
Power only
In power only mode the reactor will only output power to the power grid

Steam only
In Steam Mode the Reactor using its internal heat to convert water into Compressed Steam to use in the Super HV Turbine

These are very close values taken at the around start of the cycle, and will vary due to being heat dependant and the fluctuations in the reactors internal heat. |
