and by the way im trying to find new experimental capacitor
where are they ? realy.
or are they under a difrent name ?

If I wanted to move heat to the reactor, there is a utility for that already, the inlet. I could also just have nothing next to the fuel cells, but either of those is suicidal. The outlet is the only saving grace, but I still need to check on whether that still works or not. Wait, no I don't. I won't need those, as there is no way to spread out the heat to prevent a meltdown without exchangers interacting with vents.
Exchangers now should be called extractors. They will take heat from any connected component with stored heat, but will only transfer heat to other exchangers until internal capacity is overloaded. Not very helpful, as they were already higher in price compared to the vent. Coolant cells are affected as well, as they will have no way of unloading their excess heat except to put that heat into the reactor, which defeats the purpose of the coolant cell entirely.

Ok, my elaborate protium power system just vaporised. After it cooled off, I did a little testing to see what went wrong.
1. Heat vents. Working fine. Vent heat as normal, any excess is stored until something... can... wait a minute...
2. Heat exchangers. COMPLETELY WORTHLESS. This can be observed by placing a uranium cell next to a heat exchanger of any kind. Even if a vent is placed next to the exchanger, the exchanger refuses to give up its heat, which means that it explodes. Heat exchangers were the main reason protium was allowable in my setup, so without those, the reactor overheated immediately.
3. Coolant cells. Can now be considered utterly useless. As exchangers will not work, coolant cells are now too expensive to constantly replace. Yes, exchangers do not direct heat towards coolant cells either.
4. Capacitors. Thank you for increasing the max heat capacity on these, I guess? At least exchangers do not send heat towards capacitors now.

The heat from the extreme capacitor needs to work like the heat from power cells otherwise it doesn't really do much.

i LOVE this game. One request: Could you move the prestige reset button to the prestige page? I just accidentally HARD reset for the second time. Otherwise, this game is utterly amazing, keep up the great work!

Buttons I would love: Sell All Components; Replace All Depleted Cells; Upgrade All Vents/Exchangers/Capacitors/etc...

Heat exchangers are broken. Even with no active power cells and plenty of vents, they never drain away to zero heat...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don't really get how to lower the heat of the Extreme Capacitor... That Inlet doesn't work, Coolant Cells don't work...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the heat capacitors seem to exchange heat primarily to each other. You're have a heat exchanger that can exchange, say, 20 per tick transfer 20 from his own 20 to another's, say, 2000, which will also exxhange 20 to the first. the levels will never move. The heat exchanger will simply not work next to a fan, it doesn't exchange to it properly, if at all.

And yeah, how do you use the extreme vents again, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to properly vent them.

@Cael, Thank you for fixing the bug where "Research Grant" and "Protium Research" could be purchased multiple times. For those of us that found, tested and reported this bug, could we get a reset on Exotic Particles?

Love the idea of more powerful capacitors. That would really help in not having my reactor be 99% capacitors late game, however, the capacitors don't seem to be usable. I mean, I can place them, but they explode almost instantly. I realize they create heat at an equal rate to the amount of power they automatically sell but at my current upgrade level that is roughly 36Qa heat and it holds it instead of venting it to the reactor. I have tried everything I can think of but no matter what I try it just explodes and may or may not take the rest of the reactor with it depending on how I vented it. Someone please correct me if I am doing it wrong or I'm missing something. I'd also like to add the game is fantastic. Great work and I love the updates. I fully anticipate burning many more evenings trying to make the perfect build.

suggestion: make a button to disable the automatic loss of heat, or maybe a toggle upgrade(so once you bought it you can turn it on or off) this makes building heat reactors much easier

having a visible number of ticks per second would be helpful so I could understand how fast my reactor is producing at

Just did the most thorough tests I could think of with heat exchangers. They will accept heat from any source (directly from fuel cells, from heat outlets and from heated components such as coolant cells and capacitors), but will only give that heat to heat inlets and other heat exchangers. They will NOT give heat to heat vents, coolant cells, or even capacitors (tested even though heating a capacitor is always a bad idea).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the extreme caps can't be cooled even when no power is being made they just overheat i have used every combo i can to cool it and it just overheats anyways so it may be a good idea to look into them and fix them if possible
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I just had an idea - it would be really great if we could re-spec our prestige upgrades, to try different sorts of reactors.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
hmm so strange that those heat exchanger won't transfer any heat to anywhere else
it just kept all the heat and got exploded
is that just my problem or like.. the build has changed?
just ask in case.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Yea something went wrong with this update. Heat exhangers not working right, infinite heat glitch, and the new experimental capacitor is completely useless since it overheats even when there is no power being generated and can't be cooled. At the upgrades that I have now they generate 6 times as much heat as the quad protium cells. My only saving grace was the fact that I had an older version still open.

I also don't seem to get my particles even though I calculated (1080000000000/1000000000000)^(log(1000000000000)/(log(1080000000000))=1.07976915828

I think it happens when you put an heat outlet down, surround it with heat vents and diagonally to one of the heat vents plave another heat outlet and then wait for a second.

I'd be able to exploit the game and get infinite power at 0% risk of overheating, so please ignore highscores of me :-)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I found a glitch. It happened twice when heat vents overfilled. The tick speed goes to ~20t/s and Things just keep losing durability, my heat goes into infinity and nothing happens. I get an infinite amount of power to collect, even when paused. When I break the vents everything overheats like normal.

Additional info to my comment. Keep in mind, that inlets increase reactor temperature level by taken amountr while taking heat and keep heat level at this level even if outlets are present. I exploded my reactor twice until noticing this :D

The experimental capacitors can not be used properly, because they produce way too much heat. But they can be used, when you upgrade prestige in my scheme (actually most important is, that capacity should have at least 2 levels less than hyperdynamic) AND the power sell upgrade should stay at level 1 (so its only useful at late game, otherwise it would be a pain to get from uranium to nefastium after prestige!). My first successful run with them.
