the water gate looks very gross, you don't even have the option to toggle it
-
And the core seems to have a safeguard that automatically stops it when it overheats too much, could also be some metal bits melting down
-
I think that the core is meant to run at 500, as getting it too high increases the chances for a thermal runaway to occur, but the core can mostly be recovered from the runaway if you shut off fuel and let it cool, as long as it didn't overheat too much from the runaway

Wow, TheNik, that is really long to read.

You can imagine an RTG as a battery, which it basically is. You fill it with a radioactive material, and it just sits there and slowly releases heat. A reactor is more like an engine, you fuel it with Uranium (or a different material) and it processes this fuel in a more complex manner to harvest more energy from it.
-
An RTG harvests the fission heat directly and turns it to electricity with thermocouples. However, many radioactive reactions can be triggered, if the particles released by fission are allowed to influence the isotope again. This often leads to chain reactions. A nuclear reactor causes such chain reactions in a controlled manner and thus harvests much more heat, which is typically used to run turbines.
-
It is a misconception that RTGs (Radioisotope Thermal Generators) are nuclear reactors. There is a fundamental difference between the two. All radioisotopes decay at a certain rate which is determined by their half life. This is called fission and it produces heat and particles, that depend on the decay type.

Because you are just putting up the same crap again and again and drowning the feed, so actual fresh content suffers.

Why do you give a shit about the reuploads?
