Xenologist Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 So I'm playing around with a nuclear reactor, and I found out what happens when you cut the coolant. Next thing you know it's spewing radioactive comets and now fallout gas is everywhere. Sure it's a spectacle, but that makes me wonder, will we get nuclear stuff this year or next year?

Korbin Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think it is probably safe to assume that it will be early next year. Klei mentioned in another post that they will be taking the last 2 weeks of this month off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharraShimada Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 They told us recently, they have something for us to play with before the holidays. What? We´ll see. Maybe its an early version of the nuclear system. Maybe its a ice cream machine... who knows what the Devs are planing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babba Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I have dupes working for me ! Wish it would be possible to print money and stamp coins in the game, that`d be nice ! Would buy all the broken reactor designed fusion plants from other players, for maximum ice melting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually told us what: Quote [...] but now we're turning our attention back to the classic Sandstone Start and building out the inner cluster to support it. You can look forward to that in time for the holidays! [...] And just to let you know, as always Klei will be shut down for two weeks at the end of the month. We'll have hotfixes and the Sandstone Start coming before then, but otherwise: Enjoy the holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blash365 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I dont think they will release something as new as radioactivity before christmas. Most likely just a few more asteroids, some new buildings and rocket parts. Radioactivity will be one of the main topics of the DLC so i'd expect it to have a high attention update release after the holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea from what i`ve seen in the game codex there is a lot of interconnected buildings that use the radioactive stuff. Seems like they can`t just add one thing as it all needs other buildings to work. Everything is in the codex but i spoilered it anyway. Spoiler Like the nuclear reactor needs enriched uranium and you need a separate building to produce that. Then another building connected to it is supposed to produce high energy particles that power a number of different buildings including a science station. I assume the HEPs are the little blue thingys floating around in the dlc teaser gif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure yet what its place would be on the side of automation wires, but that's what was said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but the station in the gif is a research station and it requires the HEPs to work so it would all fit together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. But let's hope there would be a bit more usages for that new mechanic than just the research station. And for HEP i cant think of much but researching tbh.;) Maybe enriching minerals?

From what i`ve seen the interplanetary laucher has a "HEP port". There is also a new cooking station mentioned in one of the new food recipies. It might use those as well. What else? Maybe a new rocket engine could be powered by those. A mineral transmutation station. Maybe an X-ray lamp for disinfection or a super advanced medical station. There is a lot of stuff that can use those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it can legit go to, like, 1 million degrees. Flash-boil abyssalite to tungsten gas, obliterating the entire asteroid down to the neutronium.

ZanthraSW Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Probably high energy particle or highly energetic particle or something to that effect. I just hope we can use molten salt as coolant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Soviet reactors used to use liquid lead as coolant, and that too is also in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this way I can have my dream in the game One day, when save games are stable in a few years...Then I can dupe build my final SSN20 rocket silo with some decor mods. That`l be great !
