    Actually this is pretty accurate. Granted whilst water vapor is not the most energetic monopropellant it can be harvested en masse from asteroids, moons, and other celestial bodies. So this is probably the kind of engine that a space miner vessel would use in the near future. However, most designs would utilize 1 reactor and simply pipe monopropellant around it several times.

    It's not as simple. Stirling engines are great, but not always. According to Wikipedia, Stirling engines achieve efficiencies of up to 50%, compared to 40% for regular turbines. But they tend to be larger and more expensive, and are not possible to replicate in TPT.

    @kubolo,It's not. i am saying that if it would have used sterling engine it would raise it's efficiency to ~90%,but now its just a nuclear steam engine.

    Really damn reliable, I accidentally left the game open for several hours after having already gutted some of the electronics and broke the wall separating them but it still ran perfectly.
