I was personally having more fun when it was just about the 1% venting upgrades, but I suppose it did need some challenge.
Improvements:
Offline mode: This is pretty crucial for most idle games nowadays and would let us use those thousands of ticks without having the game open while we sleep.
A still better heating removal display: The exchangers still mess with the heat imperfectly.
Item balancing: T4&T5 reflectors are barely different, buff T5.
Tip of sort: You can also replace any item with any tier of the same item. This should only work one way imo, lower tier to higher.
I would also like to see a stats screen to see max heat/sec decreased so I can plan on which cells to use.
A quick sell everything (the entire reactor) button would also be nice for quick re-planning of the reactor.
Also Daniel's build is at the point of being silly, I doubt that's how the game was intended to be played (http://i.imgur.com/lyG1gru.png)

I really havent found a system that really works after Seaborgium. I have yet to figure out what the vents do(other then rise my heat level and not work with max level fans. A little help!

Best build possible at the moment? be carful!!! it needs the vent upgrades (you need to have 125 k vent cooling)

Eggility: 6 single cell nefastium cells: http://oi61.tinypic.com/2ev6ttt.jpg - It still doesn't seem to matter if things are touching the cells or not. Perhaps it's meant to be that way. Anyway I am making nearly 70M/s with that build. And it's stable for a long long time, however heat is very very slowly raising. But that doesn't matter. I've tenfold my investment by the time it says BOOM, and that's all that matters. The leakage of radiation and killing tens or hundreds of thousands of people around the reactor is not my concern. I just build my reactor in another country, and do the same, and repeat this process until I kill all humanity. Hue hue hue hue hue.

After the update> upgrading heatsinks doesnt seem to increase efficiency past 1% per heatsink. ie, i'm at diamond heatsinks, and each heatsink still only increases vent efficency by 1%

I grade easy, when I play a game for a few hours or beat it I generally give it 5, and so this one gets a 5. If I sounded harsh that was not the intent, I had already played for hours.

Really nice game, love the idea and overall execution. Heavily lacks the polish needed. Components don't quite how you'd expect them to and then you have insta-boom issues that should a raise due said above component issues. 3/5 for now, if things get polished up a bit and fixed easily 4/5

Optimized version of my previous build, still haven't found a better before the 2x single Nefastium build. http://i.imgur.com/lyG1gru.png

Awesome game! Reminds me almost of all of the nuclear fun of the IndustrialCraft mod for minecraft, without all the annoying resource gathering. Great job, devs!

got 5 upgrades on plating. Each gives 1% boost to heatsinks for each plating. For some reason instead of 5% boost for each plating, I still get only 1% :( Some issue with logic or description. Plus why do you need 5 upgrades then?

An option to sell everything would be nice, it is a massive pain to manually do it everytime I want to try a new setup

I wonder how hard it would be to model a basic fuel cell-reactor-heat exchanger-vent heat system using differentials. After all, heat is an equilibrium function using heat exchangers.

Seems to be a really serious bug with heat generation. I'll be managing heat just fine, with the heat only getting up to about 5% of my max heat, then I'll add one more fuel cell and suddenly I'll have a meltdown in one tick. Has happened to me about 5 times now and it is getting really aggravating to have to rebuild from scratch because of it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
you need to be able to configure the heat exchangers so i can tell them to not give the reactor heat or to only output into certain machines or to output everything into one machine

It is rather annoying that durability and heat is shown in the same way. I have in a few instances almost panicked because I thought I was experiencing a meltdown only to discover that it was just high durablity, and vica versa.
Personally I'd rather have temperature shown as the background colour of the tile, or something similar.

spamming plates is now more viable than ever now since it only counts the number of them for the bonus and not the tier making basic plates the best to raise the vent bonus.

This is meant to be a Idle game you relies that means don't sit in front of screen for basically the whole time you play because that is what u have to you their is no Automatic Process in this game at all spent 6 hours on it last night and today and still it makes you drag on i play idle games like 18hours a day on weekends as no work.
I would like a way to go Auto like a Auto collector for Money and way to make it so you can leave come back and have money. like it progresses while you have it closed like other games otherwise is not a IDLE game.

I'm not sure if the creator's math is off or what, but it is completely impossible to keep anything past the first delorium cell because you simply can not transfer heat fast enough with the ultimate heat exchanger even if you surround it in like a 3 by 3 block of them that feed into heat vents.

Well, this new update makes the game so much more fun! I really enjoy now, even more than I did before. I feel more calm now, like this is not a click or lose a bunch of money game, but a real idle game with an abstract idea.

There's no reason for quad nefastium to be an option, it's not possible to utilize it. Theoretical maximums for heat venting max out at around 30m if you use all 304 tiles perfectly, less than a third of the heat venting necessary for quad nefasium. Storage also isn't a possibility, as even unupgraded nefasium generates a total of ~9 trillion heat. You'd need to connect it to 50 coolant cells somehow to store that and that isn't possible with current heat exchanger limits.

Life was great. My reactor was hanging around 10% and was fine. I placed one item and suddenly the reactor exploded in one tick. I'm not sure what happened.

the heatsinks upgrade is broken and does nothing currently, the plating always provides a bonus to the vants and the bonus does not increase through the upgrade

Honestly... the game could use a save function and also the ability to sell the fuel. If you put some achievements or something on there, you could allow them to be allowed later on as I understand it part of the challenge of the game... also, maybe with a sandbox where you could have those options. I mean, to me... I just would be a lot further along, and I did almost quit a couple times.

A problem with replacing the fuel cells is that you can't, for instance, replace uranium with plutonium, it only works within the same tier. That means I have to remove and replace every single one when I improve them, which gets tiring fast.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I do think we need some more information on the screen. While you could calcuate how much heat you will create, it is way to annoying to count the amount you can take care of. So it happend that three tier 2 cells didn't increase my overall heat and with four of them everything instantly exploded.

And this game is now busted. Looks like heat exchangers will only send a full "load" of heat to a heat vent, so if they receive a smaller amount of heat from the reactor, they'll just send it back next tick. That's why reactor heat is fluctuating for no reason, because heat exchangers are taking heat from it and then sending it back next tick instead of to heat vents...

great game I know about the science behind this however its a lil bit long and tedious for me so its not going to be the greatest rating

If im Right the highest cooling idle system is a double dolorium cell ? i can plant around 10 single dolorium cells in the space i can plant 1 double - at the moment i see 12*231,48k as the highest ossible cooling option?

People really need to stop saying the same things over and over. Yes, we want an easier way to refuel, yes it needs more balancing. And no there is nothing wrong with the numbers, if you suddenly had a meltdown you earned it and most likely didn't read the notes/help(or even the dev's updates) in options or simply didn't understand it. And no your don't get negative power, your Capacitors just sell more pr/tick than your cells generate and the negative number is how much more.

2 requests:
1) An upgrade (maybe replace the last duration one?) that lets you place perpetually refilling cells of that type.
2) Change the 'armor improves venting' upgrade so the extent of the effect changes with different tiers of plating. Maybe a tier 2 plate counts as 2, tier 3 as 3 etc? but of course that would mean weakening the per tier effect.

I don't understand why you would want coolant cells. What's the point? Seems like all you should focus on is vents and heat sinks.

Ever since the new update, heat per tick fluctuates wildly while the reactor is in use, so I'm slightly terrified of running new fuels since I've no clue if they'll overload my setup. Any chance that we can get a static number for the maximum heat a reactor will vent at a time?

14 mill build which doesn't require much effert to get or even maintain. No risk of a meltdown and very cost efficient. If any have a good / better build, share with the rest of us :) Mine looks like this, can't go higher than Double Seaborgium Cells with the current stats on things and my current upgrades. Hope you like it, enjoy :)
*EDIT Sorry for spam, forgot to mention that you can swap out both Plating and Capacitors to some degree and get an even higher power/tick, but at the cost of being at a higher risk and having to manually sell power. I just use this to slack and watch series on the side :D

I really like the game and the idea behind it. I just played after the upgrade but I think the game has a lot of ptential! ALso the chain reaction idea is very good: combining reactors gives a better money/invest output, but much more heat, till you cant control it anymore (like in a real fusion reactor).
My reactor delivers at the moment about 6M$/tick with Quad thorium cells. But I'm curious about upgrading it, because ONE Quad Dolorium cell will need 56 Vents for recooling. For the last cells, there is a urgent balance needed. For cooling ONE Quad Nefastium Cell there a 1400 vents needed, and there 304 tiles in the reactor...
So, a good game, but really needs balancing!
