This new patch is .. very buggy. For example, while paused my reactor will "flash" red if it's overheating--going from 99.99% heat to 0% a dozen times a second.

I got really excited to see the new capacitors but after I placed one it burned up allmost instantly, so I put a few fans next to it and it didn't wan't to share the heat with the vents. Besides even if it did get rid of the heat how am I supposed to get rid of 13.600Qa heat per tick? The most I've gotten rid of with my vents is about 37T heat per tick. So maybe add new vents to counter that or maybe an upgrade to reduce the heat from the capacitors.

So after being forced to reload due to a chrome crash my reactor decided to release a burst of heat hotter than a billion Big Bang's. I think I can proudly say I am the father of a new universe. Unfortunately most of the Local Group had to be sacrificed in this achievement but hey gotta crack a few trillion stars to make a universe.

No offense but how can you not do even the most basic playtesting before launching a new patch? Exchangers not working is very blatantly broken

"There’s a downside in that the game will not be able to extend beyond Octillion-sized numbers, but I don’t think that’ll be TOO big of an issue."
I thought the point of an idle game was to make numbers so unreasonably big, that we have to make up the names to those numbers. I didn't mind a little lag, but what I do mind is a misleading list of instructions, and dysfunctional components. I have been experimenting, and a number of glitches have cropped up, including the heat exchangers' unwillingness to share their heat with heat vents, and one involving placing an inlet next to an outlet, placing a vent/coolant next to the outlet, and placing any fissile cell anywhere except beside the vent/coolant. These were definitely NOT present before, as when I reloaded my entire (very meticulously planned out) reactor, it sublimated instantly. (went from solid, to gas, skipping over liquid entirely.)
Please fix the exchangers, and the outlet/inlets.

What happened to the way my darned exchangers work! I don't understand the change since only the decimal system changed... im scared, my reactor dont wanna work anymore :(

Game completely bugged out; one of my Uranium Cells died and all of a sudden I had thousands of heat but nothing was blowing up or running out and I was receiving massive power. No matter what I put in they don't run out
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
i actually like that the new capacitors produce so much heat, if you just don't buy any autosell upgrades you can use them with 1-2 upgrades to produce massive heat for dissipation since prestige is based on both power produced and heat dissipated(whichever is lower) you could use protium to get heat as well but having to replace them every 3600 ticks (6 min) brings that usefulness down

A couple of things I'd like to say about the recent updates:
First - I'd like to see a prestige upgrade that increases the base heat capacity of the reactor, or something similar. At each prestige, i drop a uranium cell and the reactor immediately overloads because the heat generation of even a single cell is too much. An alternative might be a prestige upgrade that lowers the heat generation of Uranium only (since uranium generates so little power)
Secondly: The new mega capacitors. Might it be better if they only generated heat based on ACTUAL power sales, as opposed to potential sales? These things generate FAR too much heat to even risk testing them in my reactor even without a single power cell.
Just my thoughts...

bug(?) lately I've encounter a bug where I put a couple of outlets, and 1 of them connected to nothing, the tick speed increased to an uncomfortable level, reactors won't go out, vents won't explode, and auto sell power doesn't. BTW heat exchange seem to stop working when my build is stable: when no extra heat generated, ex. reactor goes off, heat trapped in heat exchange
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Found a bug - if you place a heat outlet by itself with no exchanger or vents, the cells run into negative durability and keep giving cash
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I played this game before the update, and now i have realized that le heat exchangers are broken and do not transfer heat and rather contain the heat inside themselves. So for the moment everyone, just do fans and cooling cells.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
found a VERY profitable glitch. place heat outlet in an empty area, and your power will fill like craze, but your heat exchangers will also heat up crazy fast. + to keep alive!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Lol, Basic Heat Inlet on top of a Basic Heat Outlet and below that is one Uranium cell, and then across from that are 2 basic heat vents.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
To be honest, I love this game but have NO idea how in the world to make a working heat system. I either have to get heat inlets or coolant cells. Plus, when ever I try to use heat exchangers they never seem to distribute heat to my vents. Am I doing something wrong? Please help meh.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
One thing that I just realized is that if you buy your normal upgrades just right you could use the new capacitor as an EP generator instead of just worrying about power With it you could generate more EP than using any fuel cell. It would work better if the heat exchangers worked but they don't so that's out.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Okay, double post because Kongregate was stupid.. You place the vent/coolant, then an inlet to the right right beside it, then another inlet under the first inlet. Then you place the power cell anywhere on the board, except beside the vent/coolant.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
okay, so.. Game Breaking glitch. All you need is a basic Vent, 2 Basic Inlets, and whatever cell you want to go nuts on power. Put the game on pause, then make this layout of machines:
C I
I P
C= Coolant Cell/Heat Vent
I = heat Inlet
P = Whatever power cell you place.
This works with any tier inlet, any tier vent/coolant cell, and with any power cell. Meaning you can use that layout for the vent and inlet with basic, and be farming Nafestium. I'm not sure how this works, but there is two problems. 1: Every time you do this, you need to sell the vent/coolant, which will activate a meltdown every time. 2: You cannot automate the power selling, by my experience. Placing capacitors does help with clicking though. I hope people figure more out about this glitch, because I found it on accident.

I'm dumb... If anyone is as dumb as i, you need to hit the button "Scrounge for cash" to get you $10 to get your first cell. XD

Hi dev, just wanted to say I played your game when it first came about and the improvements you've implemented are a fantastic addition to the game. The game is much less buggy, better balanced and I see there's a prestige mode been added. All of these are great but I feel a bit disappointed. It's all just a logical progression now, just like the thousands of idle games to be brought out this year. Sadly, although I love your commitment to the players and constant updating which is rare and precious, I think I prefer the not quite release version where a slight miscalculation meant a mini Chernobyl and much rage at any stage in the game. I hope to see, and will be looking out for, future releases and my hat of to ya for your commitment to the game, honestly top notch.
P.S. Heat ex-changers don't work now either =S either fix or remove, they aren't really as necessary as before

last comment for now, I don't know what you did to the heat exchangers or the vents, but my old build able to handle 3 quad nefastium cells with no overheat wont disapate enough heat to handle 3 dual Dolorium cells
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So i can only assume that the new capacitor literally always generates its selling capacity in heat, if so, its only good as a very late game item, only useful when you are able to use the quad Protium cell =/

prity sure this means this is a new upgrade gone wrong .... im glad there are upgrades (even if sometimes not good in this case) ... im also prity sure im posting too much. keep up the work (good wrong .... change = good :-)

and after 100 clicking / instand overheating ... prity sure they got me less than 0t power (wich means less than 0t heat) .... ????? elaborate pls

I think I discovered a probably game breaking glitch...
When I place a quad seaborgium cell right beside my ultimate neuron reflecter, the game goes absolutely crazy. The ticks per second goes up to around 50, and makes my fan have an insanely amount of heat inside it, causing the sell price to go really low, reaching the negative numbers. As of posting this, I have a fan that I can sell for -900b cash.

I don't know exactly what caused it or when it first started, but I recently noticed that my exchangers will not lose heat, only accumulate it. Even surrounding an exchanger with a lot of heat in it with 4 vents, the heat in the exchanger remains completely unchanged. They do seem to be moving heat to vents, as when I stripped off some plating, a few vents blew up. Strangely though, it was only a few. I removed one plating, and out of 72 vents, most of which were connected to exchangers with more than 50% heat in them, one vent instantly blew up, and then nothing else changed. Maybe I'm missing something, but, I don't think the heat in an exchanger should be completely static over the course of all the changes I tried to make. Only putting fuel cells next to it will cause the number to change, and of course that only makes it increase. The result is that my exchangers are acting like coolant cells which will not give up any of their heat.

So I'm not sure what happened, but my game glitched and basically I have -163.038 Qa. I don't think I'm going to be able to pay off my debts anytime soon.... Time to prestige I guess
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
At least until you have finished changing things, could you make a reset button for the prestige upgrades that undoes all purchases and returns the exotic particles spent? Alternatively, how about giving us the option to reset the prestige upgrades when we prestige?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
you should add insurance for when your starting the game and your reactor blows up and you pretty much start over cause when I first started I blew up my reactor like 8 times

i have found the new capacitors ........ and im SURE i looked in the right place ......... prestige has the new capacitors :) :) love u

also random blowing up of stuff is really annoying ... 200 heat p tick with 8k max heat and it randomly blew up 2 times

also j33us is talking of extreme capacitor ......... wtf ? sry my french where are the extreme capacitor
i can find
1) basic capasitor
2) avanced cap.
3) suoer cap.
4) wondrous cap.
5) ultimate cap.
im missing extreme capacitor
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The new capacitor is completly broken, utterly and totally useless. Even if it did dump directly into the reactor like people ask, it will still likely blow up any setup that is end game, and any other part of the game. Even if it doesn't, the amount of heat it generates makes it so the extra autosell is useless and you make actually less power than before. This needs some massive balancing.

sound and making the pause button be (P) also and making multipal factories plus a way to divide the factories Ex surrounding the cells makes it so if the cells explode from heat every thing else is fine ... also making so walls don't go away unless sold
