Title: Fusion Reactor
Post by: RadicalOne on October 25, 2010, 12:10:01 PM
I noticed that SC4 scrapped SC3K's Tokamak fusion reactor, so I decided to remake it. How is it, and what do I need to fix?

Looks good!   &apls I believe you would need some cooling towers and possibly an electrical substation.  I like your open (visual) concept but would have practical concerns about reactor containment.  &Thk/(

This is great :thumbsup: Of course if i were you, i would rebuilt the original SC3000 reactor ;D

You are right, I do need a cooling unit. I already have a substation, that building at right.

You mean security, or safety? Fusion reactors, unlike fission ones, are completely safe to approach and be near, heat notwithstanding.
As for security, I do have a cage around it. I can - and probably will - put more fencing and that sort of thing.

Want to know the real reason for no containment building? Nightlight textures do not show through walls.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi257.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh240%2FRadicalOne%2FAnnunakiSmileys%2FVector_Wink_tonguefix2.png&hash=82d835c76e7c2a5b574ca518200869b810b82372)

PS
Does anyone know how to animate-rotate the nightlight map, so the brightest spot on the torus appears to be moving around its circumference?

And how do I cut out part of the ground, like the NDEX GLR-to-subway transition and the Maxis hydrogen plant?
