Folks,
I'm looking at Reactors for the first time in a couple years. You may recall I was once fervently involved in ReactorCraft and initiated several discussion threads on the various mechanics. Now I'm out of date and looking to re-discover.
During some testing with standard fission reactors I couldn't help but notice that they seem more forgiving than before. I genuinely had a hard time getting a reactor to explode in testing with designs I'd used before (in particular, 16-core reactors made of 4 quads, surrounded by neutron reflectors)
I'm wondering:
- Was fission itself slowed down a bit in general?
- Were max-temperatures of fuel cores and/or boilers increased? (I see 1800 and 2000 for those respectively in the code, not sure what they used to be)?
- Was heat transference tweaked somehow?
If any of these are true, I think I appreciate the change.
