In the late game, you either have space for the coolers or the power storage. I suggest you should add an "expand field" option,which would expand your playing space in vertical and horizontal by 1, and due to the power of the space it should have an incredible high price, around 100 blillion for the first time, so you should afford it only when you turly need it.

atm best way to cool heat (from nefarium cells)seems to place 2-4 exchangers dumping heat into a single fan(with upgrades)(rinse and repeat) and isolating the fuel(surrounded with plating) to pump heat directly into the reactor.

I've got 63 ultimate heat exchangers and heat vents, 56 wondrous coolant cells and double seagorium cells and my reactor's heat level is like "meh".

The game in its current form has a very short life span. The progression arc in the game at the moment is flawed in the way that it does not attract players to continue forward once they understand how the game works. No real challenge is presented in this game and I would never even call it an idle game. I would call it an upgrade game and cut idle away from this all together. The results that the player gets from interacting with this game are too fast to consider idle. There is too few game mechanics here to make this a long lasting game, and very little discovery.
Again, I think you have a great opportunity here to make a very awesome game, you need to play through the game itself and ask yourself what grabs the player to continue wanting to play.

This is probably one of the few games i have played where the meta changes completely almost overnight.
Yesterday high level rods surrounded with cooling cells was the meta, now it's mid level rods with 2 cooling fans and a ton of reactor plating.
So just saying, expect major changes like Williamrmck said.

Part feature request, part almost-bug-report. I'd like to see other pieces of equipment be upgradeable as well, such as the heat exchangers and more importantly, the heat CAPACITY of items. I'm in the silly position of having heat vents that can dump almost 1M per second, but can only hold 500k heat because that doesn't upgrade. Similarly, I can't dump heat into them fast enough via exchangers, because I'm capped at ~250k for the best ones.

@detomaso you can, but it's a completely inefficient set-up. Just wait till you can get nefastium single cells and hook fans up to them.

I'm at the endgame now and thin there's one thing we really need: A way to upgrade the transportation of heat through the Exchanger. With all the upgrades for the Vents, my Vents can handle more then i ever can deliver to them, since there can only be 4 exchangers attached at the same time.
The game really makes a lot of fun and with a new or better system to transport heat i'm sure it would be awesome. Maybe directly upgradeable pipes? Any System you can deliver heat over a longer distance.

I like this in principle, but I feel like the ticks are so coarse as to give unrealistic results. What I always seem to see are wild oscillations in temperature. Writing down the heat generated per tick for a number of successive ticks while letting it run in a stable state, I got heat values of 127, -124, 94, 538, -724, -341, 288, 0, -130, -60, 1.014k, -619, 794, 374, -322, -29, -1, 97...
It's hard to believe this is actually realistic or intended.

I just lost count on how many times I melt it down, you could definitely add a variable to count it. If the cooling mechanics were a bit deeper it would be nice. Anyway damn fine game.

all my plant burns. i just bought some upgrades so I have only 3 dollars left. Can't buy a uranium cell. Reset the game :(

It seems there are some rounding issues, so i didn't really need that last Reactor Plating, making it 456M /Tick with a Capacitor instead, as @del1277104 poster earlier.
Anyway loved the new update, but as we got the Sell all option, can we get a multiple build option too? :) Something like; just hold left mouse button down and then build everywhere we point.

Once you start sustaining quad-dolorium, half the screen is just plating and capacitors. Needs another tier of capacitor and plating. Maybe 11x increase for 10x power, so you have to pay for the extra 9 spots it gives you for upgrading?

When you're dealing with numbers that change constantly, it's a lot more readable if you pick a mono-spaced font for displaying them, one where a '1' and a '9' take up the same number of pixels.

Why after 30 minutes of running smoothly, with no changes made to my setup, did my Ultimate Heating Vents start exploding?

That moment when you place capacitors from a more powerful element than you intended and destroy your entire reactor.

I think the vents may be a little bugged, although from the description it appears they vent 3x as much as they can store it is still possible to have heat enter it faster than it can vent it out and still have it store inside it.
This should not be possible even if it works based on anything that enters the vent in a tick will be vented on the next as the vent should only ever have 1 ticks worth of heat inside it. Yet it can still store and reach 3 ticks of heat in certain cases.

There are multiple tick upgrates and they will often make an over heat if one is testing. There should be a 1x 2x 3x 4x 5x ect. so that you can slow down your ticks per second and make it faster again at will.

Seems like this is the most i can output, as a stable idle build. 545M / Tick http://s1.postimg.org/9w2dhuq0t/545.png
But should this be possible? As the Heat Vent is actually Venting almost 3 times its Heat Capacity.
I think the Heat Exchangers should be upgradeable as well, so they can keep up with the Upgraded Heat Vents instead.

Quite a messy setup but here's my 62.499m p/tick setup: http://i62.tinypic.com/ddf3g0.png
I'll probably rework it once I have gotten some more upgrades to start a fully idle Nefastium-setup going (without the need to replace anything other than the Nefastium itself, which is quite a challenge I suppose).

Upgraded from 3 stars to 5 stars simply because the dev actually responds, listens, and learns from user comments. Definitely going to keep sinking time in to this.

Btw plz and sound/music and make it intense when your heat is high and have a ear breaking boom if you overheat. such love the game

Allow the cells to vent into the reactor (don't put any cooling elements directly on them) and then place a bank of exchangers connected to vents somewhere else in the reactor. The exchangers will pull the heat back out of the reactor and use the vents to cool it down. You could also place a cooling cell next to the power cell and then have exchangers pull heat from the cooling cell into fans to cool down the cooling cell.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
There has to be some kind of technique to cooling down quad-dolorium cells with vents. Like as soon as I put down heat exchangers they explode. Any tips?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Rauthtuar: There is help. Just click options help ingame abnd choose basic mechanics and managing heat. Those explain already all important facts for a good start.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I think it would be amazing if there was an explanation in the help regarding placing fuel cells, specifically how placement affects the heat and power production.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It's very good, however, there's no way to slow down time, and as such if something starts overheating, it instantly just explodes, you may wana add a faster or slower option, and make the time upgrades just increase the amount you can speed up or slow down by.

456M per tick
full idle
1 less plating causes vents to overheat
1 less capacitor cause energy to accumulate
variation maxing power gain but needs clicking to sell power
