The console command stops the polonium from melting. You can use the sign element to select it, then copy and enter it into the console. The turbine require heat and pressure to work. Click water coolant to fill up water and click neutron beam to start

    /r TakMashido Thanks for liking it! You just had a close call. You must call damage contol team asap!

    /r Iskra10 Thank you! I'll probably add warning signals soon

    /r magnetman33 Glad you enjoy it! I thought about adding autocontrol, but it seems difficult to make a good system that is not just a clock based system

    Ok just the startup I described doesn't work without modifications, but the running of it is fine at 1200. You just have to go a bit more slowly. Sorry for the comment spam, I just like nuclear reactors, and this seems like about as close as you can get to operating one without operating one

    *Note: None of that works when it's just with DEUT, the HEAC really helps. I know it isn't realistic, but it works

    Also for starting it up(after doing the little modifications I mentioned) I fill the boilers to the top, fire the neutron gun a few times(even just once is fine) then wait for the temp to reach 850. Then drop the control rods to 2/3 down. The temp will keep rising more slowly, wait till 1200 then move the rods down to 3/4. Then maintain 1200 by doing what I described last comment. Did I mention this is really good?

    It's really fun to watch the temp and manage the control rods; taking into account the time needed for the POLO to reach 'saturation' of neutrons, thermal inertia, and also fuel burnup(gray POLO). I find keeping about 1/4 of the POLO 'critical' at a time, slowly moving up the reactor until it's all gray. Then refule and do it again! The refuling mechanism is amazing by the way. I'm going to power my house with this it's so good.
