To those in need of a sell all button: you can shift right click on a component to delete all of that component from the board.

O.k. for the sake of posterity, I'm going to leave it as is, and say that my prestige is showing -1 prestige on the prestige bar, but other than that. The game works absolutely flawlessly. which is super nice. Keep at it man, I know it seems hairy, but you've been super great about this, and the game is now officially my favorite on kong, hands down. Thanks ^_^

The nutron reflector dont work for the protium cell. I dont get the sense of the extrem capacitor. 50% of the selling to heat? I dont know if i would build it if it only puts out 10%. Some other components looks senseless to me too. But maybe i havent played far enough right now. I like the game, good idea. Some improvements and its great :)

I would really love a 'sell all' button, so I can clear my grid out when I want to try a new scheme but I don't want to prestige yet...it's kind of a pain having to carefully right click on each thing, since I use a trackpad.

@tyler45 yeah you're right. It was working for me because I was barely pass my reactor threshold. but once I go beyond that my heat vents instantly melt down, even though it was well below the heat capacity of the vent.
@nookknock at the temps tyler45 is talking about, it should take a full minute to cool down to 1k (at about -5% total heat per tick).

Since both of you aren't nearly as far in the game as I am, please stop trying to explain the game to me. I am suggesting the upgrade because it makes sense. Someone who has enough experience to prestige is going to know what to expect during the setup of his next reactor. Knowing heat is going to be his first concern, why wouldn't they search for better funding that "Scrounge for $10".
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@TylerL45 if you continue the game after your reactor has, for example, 15000/100 heat, then the reactor will quickly decrease its own heat quickly. Since you said that you got 100 energy from it, you'll still be making a profit from the 10 spent on the uranium cell. Rinse and repeat, after your reactor cools back down to 100.

@johnrudy9: If I pause after 1 tick, I will have 100 energy, 16,384 heat, and an empty reactor. That ONE tick is 15,384 heat more than my reactor can hold.

Love the new capacitor! I can finally play for more than an hour or two without having to cash in EP before I run out of capacity for power.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@tyler45 the excessive heat doesn't have to be a problem. You can pause after 1 tick, sell your power and place the 1st heat vent. The heat vent won't break if you've kept up you cooling ability, and the reactor will slowly vent into it.

I noticed that the coolant cells aren't listed as recieving the upgrade from the prestige Fractal Piping, nor do they have a prestige upgrade for themselves. Will there be an upgrade added for them, or could they be added to Fractal Piping, so that they remain useful even after countless ascensions?

Feb 27 Suggestion: *1* Update the Instructions to the game. Beginners will continue to rate the game with a low score because they are unaware of things like "Shift click to sell all". *2* Reset the Exotic Particle Upgrades. Many of us found and reported bugs that cost EP, and we have not been compensated for it. We deserve to get those lost EP back, since they get harder and harder to earn. *3* Create an Exotic Upgrade that starts you with a small amount of money (enough to start with a vent +10 minimum) or an Exotic Upgrade that increases the base heat your reactor can hold. I can't place a single Uranium without putting 100k heat into my reactor every time I prestige.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
When you Pause, I don't think that you should be able to Manually Dissipate heat, as that seems unfair. It should allow you to make a strategic approach, then approach it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
well.. we need a way to reclaim exotic particles from the upgrades because accumulation of them are very slow.... and to access the new upgrades i cant accumulate enough EP within a reasonable time frame
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i think i've found a bug. The exotics particles made my uranium cell make 8 power per pulse, but when i bought the potent uranium first upgrade, it became 10 power per pulse and not 16 (is 100% increase from the original power, not the exotic particle upgraded power).
Sorry my bad english.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Was the prestige formula changed? Seems to be accumulated incredible slow compared to before and I am using the same setup as always

I know I might not speak for everyone but everytime you add an updateit breaks my reactor. I'm not saying i hate the updates, because I love that you are working so hard on this game to make it the best you can, and that you want us to be happy. Everytime you update the game either the upgrades reset or it changes one of the heat vent/outlet upgrades and it breaks my reactor setup, which destroys everything and I have to restart it from practically scratch. Don't get me wrong, updates are awesome, but the whole upgrades changing, or the amount of change they make changing just destroys everything I work hard on.

If you're extremely careful, and conservative with fuel rods, you can get away with putting four Extreme Capacitors around a T6 Heat Inlet as long as you have a bunch of T6 Heat Outlets surrounded by T6 Heat Vents. Enough of these, and instead of filling the holes with Capacitors, I fill them with Plating.

Extreme capacitors are useless at this point. They store heat until they explode and are not colled down by heat vents.

Hotkeys i found:
Shift+Right click: Remove all of an object from the field (Useful for rebuilding)
Shift+Left click Replace all of an object with another.
+1 to keep this alive!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Just a question, for extreme capacitors, are they supposed to not work with heat vents, and only heat exchangers? Because that's what I'm experiencing (they only increase their own heat be default, so it has to be removed with an exchanger).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Why the fuk would you put the Restart Game RIGHT UNDER the Prestige?
Had 1000 freaking points to prestige, simply lost my whole game save...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
As long as heat outlets and and exchanger can't be calibrated to not feed too much heat to their adjacent counterparts, they are useless.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Just out of curiosity, does "adjacent" count the diagonal corners around a tile, or does it only count the direct up, down, left right? Just wondering, cause it would make a difference in heat management :)

So... No exotic upgrade reset for those of us that found bugs that permanently cost us Exotic Particles? This is the fourth, possibly fifth time I have posted asking for a reset as many of us found and reported the ability to purchase Research Grant and Protium Research multiple times (even though it had no effect).

damn, can't use heat inlets on old capacitors anymore (to "turn on" the extra power from having heat) and i'm not ready to prestige again. however, i can get similar result via 1 or 2 heat exchangers between an outlet and inlet. not sure i want to do that as i'd need to place enough panelings that the exchangers can hold a third of thier exchange rate...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I've had some luck swapping between ex. caps and the normal highest tier cap, just make sure that you're not dumping more heat then you can cool off.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
still, nearly impossible to vent heat from mega capacitor. the ONLY time i can make it go down is when running no power. currently have two mega capcitors surrounded by 8 heat exchangers (43t heat per tick) each, total of 16, feeding 32 highly upgraded (12t heat per tick) vents. ONE quad nefastium cell, creating 16t power, and the mega's are slowly creeping up.
i currently have the capacity to clear probably 10x the heat/power that this one quad nefastium cell is producing, and still the mega capacitors are going up. dont know what exactly is wrong, but something definitely is. i was excited about them, but theyre useless currently

First i enjoy the game, its quite nice, but there's a few things that i feel are killing the enjoyment.
1. the new extreme coolant cells are basically useless atm, storage capacity is stupidly low compared to the extreme capacitors, which generate so much heat, making it hard to keep them cool when you in the Qa region of power gen.
i propose the coolent cells not only get a significant upgrade to the amount of heat they can store, but also get a new perk, since they can't have outside cooling, why not allow them to reduce their own heat, based on the coolent cells max heat storage (so lets say it loses 10% heat each second based on maximum, if the max is 100T, then it cools it self by 10T per sec or something like that), giving the coolent cells actual use, especially next to high heat producing stuff, especially due to the fact it can't have outside help cooling it self.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
As others have suggested, an Extreme Cap ought to be last priority to collect power, seems to be first over Ulti Caps.
Either way I find them unusable - effectively any Exteme Cap is just a click earning of 2x its capacity as it is impossible to cool it.
Also the extreme cell is worthless - even with its suicidal self heating an Extreme Cap is currently about 30-40x the heat soak.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
extreme capacitors produce about 100x more heat then my entire reactor..... but only for 1 second before they go poof
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It's a nice game. Really. And it makes alot of fun. But after spending 500k exotiv partcicles it get way boring. All you can do is to wait ... and wait.. and wait. Please give us another Capacitor upgrade so we can build really big money machines.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
it would be nice to have a way so that you could upgrade specific items to also away to have a gui with in the components so you can set the direction of a pipe of what the heat storage/coolant cells should empty into.
and if when the update is made for upgrading the amount of space; we could make a design lets say storage/coolant cells surrounded by fans and walls would make the reactor its self like Fans: X Coolant cells:B XXXX
XBBX

There should be an upgrade to increase the efficiency of protium cells, like an upgrade for the radiation-efficiency thingy. Also, as domo222 said there should also be duration and maybe an auto-replace upgrade. :) I know a lot is planned to be added, but just a reminder!
