How to use it

Nuclear Reactor + up to 6 chambers (each +1 column, +1000 hull). It runs only with a redstone signal — no signal = emergency stop (cooling continues).

One reactor tick per second. While the reactor window is open, the bar above your hotbar shows hull heat, EU/t and columns. Locked slots (barrier icon) need a chamber.

A lone Uranium Cell: 5 EU/t, 4 heat/s. Neighbouring cells and reflectors add pulses: more power, but heat grows quadratically.

Heat goes to adjacent vents, exchangers and coolant cells, otherwise into the hull.
