The reactor will operate as long as it is supplied the minimum number of rods shown below. Rods will only be loaded into the reactor when the power level is positiveamount of fuel shown below. Once the reactor is full, consumption will return to the normal rate (as seen in the recipe overview). When a fuel rod is depleted it will be replaced with a new one and spent fuel or any other corresponding product will be returned.
By dragging the orange slider to the right, you define the desired power level maintained in the reactor. This affects the amount of steam the reactor generates and how fast it burns through the fuel. All the heat generated needs to be used. Any extra heat can slowly build up, eventually leading to a reactor overheating. Basic reactors don’t have automated power regulation which makes their heat output fixed. Advanced reactors can utilize computing to regulate their power level in an automated fashion, reducing fuel and water consumption.
WARNING: Nuclear reactor was critically overheated and is shutting down. Depending on severity, this may cause loss of loaded fuel, damage to the building (loss of maintenance), and leak of radioactivityation.
Emergency cCooling is deployed in case the reactor starts to overheat, and that typically happens when water is not supplied fast enough to be converted into steam. Emergency cooling is not mandatory but is highly advised (or steam output gets stuck). Cooling is not mandatory if you are not using automatic power regulation. However, it is highly recommended to have it as it provides extra protection and helps to avoid any potential overheating.
MThermal reactor that maintains nuclear chain reaction from enriched uranium rods. The reaction releases a large amount of energy utilized for steam generation. This plant can be set up to effectively provide up to {0} MW of electricity when running on full power. Beware that spent fuel is radioactive and can harm the population if not stored in a specialized facility.

Datacenter is used to host server racks that you add to it. Each added server rack provides computing as a resource that can be used on your island. Computing is used in advanced machines such as robotic assemblers or microchip makersIt is highly scalable and makes computing more affordable. Each added server rack provides computing. It is worth noting that each server rack has its power, cooling, and maintenance demands. However, some people say that all it does is to persist and search in a vast collection of pictures of cats and memes - we were not able to debunk this.
