I have looked to see where there might a description of how to use batteries but have failed to find one. Could you please enlighten me?

basically, You buy one battery for 50 (virtually nothing) and place it on your map. Then you upgrade the battery level until it can hold a lot of power. In later maps, you will design things with several ground water pumps leading to a pipe leading to a heat source etx, it won’t always make a perfectly square pattern so you will end up with a few odd empty spaces here and there. Place batteries in there with a high level and you will be able to leave the map alone for entire hours before you need to check it and sell all the power you accumulated. The downside is that if you forget them or if you leave the computer running, you will reach the max and all the produced energy beyond that will be wasted.

I guess what was throwing me off was the description that the battery has, “Increases max power you can have” and “Increases reactor max power by X”

Also, batteries do not explode when exposed to a heat source. Offices do explode if exposed to heat.

At some point, you can upgrade your batteries to hold a week’s power and the upgrade still don’t worth too much, so you effectively can leave it overnight or even few nights without losing a buck. I think it is good enough at most cases. Also, at some point before this, office upgrade also gone way too expensive and become the limiting factor of your income, as soon as you notice that, it should be the good time to switch to batteries.

To all those saying not to do thermonuclear with region, I’m using this and it’s getting me a good amount of money so I don’t have to dump a ton of money into the new area. [http://s29.postimg.org/z1f14z9px/ri\_1.png](http://s29.postimg.org/z1f14z9px/ri_1.png)

holy shit, those builds Oo u use heat exchangers like they are tied to ur leg to slow u down…..

What is a thermonuclear layout for region?

Please help me to improve it is miserable Link for the setup: [file:///G:/Action!/Screenshots/Desktop%2023-02-2016%2022-11-33-155.png](file:///G:/Action!/Screenshots/Desktop%2023-02-2016%2022-11-33-155.png)

Anybody else having trouble with this game just losing focus and stops accumulating? On several occasions I have left it running for hours unattended only to comeback to it doing nothing.

It happened to me the first few days. Now I have a routine, I open the game, start it, open an entirely new window in firefox, and I check it during breaks.

> *Originally posted by **[jasmiami](/forums/17013/topics/562975?page=6#posts-10208436):*** > > Anybody else having trouble with this game just losing focus and stops accumulating? On several occasions I have left it running for hours unattended only to comeback to it doing nothing. I thought that was happening to me at one stage, but turns out I didn’t have any offices on the relevant map (or my offices weren’t keeping up with my power output), I was mainly using batteries to store power, but had not saved up enough money to keep rebuilding cells for hours on end (or overnight, in my case). That is, because I was not actually _selling_ any (or much) of the power being generated, my funds were gradually being eaten away with each cell rebuild. If the last thing I did before leaving it for the night was to spend as much as possible to have the best upgrade possible, I sometimes left myself with so little money left that it would all run out at some stage, and I’d come back in the morning to find the whole thing had stopped generating power. But the first couple of times, I thought the thing had frozen or something. Hit “Sell all power”, and it would start up again … duh … Anyway, just in case that’s what’s going on for you!

Am I doing everything right?    Upgraded generators’ heat capacity to have some room for experimenting, without destroying the whole thing) About 2mil per tile. There might be several unnecessary pumps, but I won’t remove them, since I don’t quite understand the pipe system’s capacity thing. Basically I am at the point, where the only thing I can do, is upgrading generators water capacity and cell’s heat production, right? Using a higher tier cell won’t improve much, cause there still will be approx 3 cells used by each gen: one cell for a gen itself and additional two for a pipe and a heat exchanger. Or should I upgrade cell’s heat output and try to break my brain inventing a layout, with two or three gens adjacent to each cell, thus reducing the amount of tiles per generator to less than three? Can I get a noticeable improvement this way? Some tips, maybe?) Seems kind of slow…

Seems kind of slow… Dude your layout is so much better then my old layout it only produced about 100 mil per tick Also, good job with that water pump at the end because water isn’t quite enough at that point so it kinda fixes that problem. I am working my way up with the upgrades.
