Thanks for uploading! I look forward to your continued series! Would you be comfortable if we were to make guesses in the comments about the "secret" (5:37) as to what we think its function is?
As far as I'm aware (and please correct me, anyone, if im wrong)... But the Admit Valves are just the valves that allow steam access or a clear path to the electric turbines where the Bypass Valves make the Steam go around the turbine and straight to the condenser. Hope this helps and correct haha 😇✌️
@@ShArPy1o1Games sharpy if this is the case it just reduces the ammount of steam that is allowed to the turbines so the rest of the steam is keeped inside the primary loop increasing the pressure.
Nice you have loop 2 running. Next 10 episodes, getting a bigger resister bank and get loop 1 up and running? Also i noticed that over the past 10 episodes you needed to pull the rods more and more and was even forced to filter out some of the boric acid in order to keep the reactivity around 10. Does that mean that at a certain point you will get to the point that the rods are fully pulled out and all the boric acid is filtered out and still the reactivity won't hit 10 anymore?
Yeah that's when the fuel will be depleted and needing to be swapped with the spare you start your game with (should be after about 10-14 in game days...) I've also done what you say due to the fact that I have 2 loops running now BUT..... I have noticed that we started at 65% (Primary coolant circuit) on Loop 03 then balanced both loops to 20% at the end yet I'm using more fuel... I'm thinking there may be a bug somewhere with that as I noticed the reactivity goes up when dropping 1 loop while evening it out with the other 🤔🤯👌
@@ShArPy1o1Games Euh not sure if that's a bug in the game. It's what a real reactor would do. You see, the decay process of uranium will always try to heat until it can heat no more. The more heat you take away from this process the faster the uranium decays.
@@ShArPy1o1Games Well you said running 2 loops at 20% gives you less efficiency then running 1 loop at 60%. I said that's expected, you're taking away more heat with 2 loops at 20 then with 1 loop at 60. Thus less efficient.

Yeah of coarse... I just don't want to show it too much as it is still in development but had to share 👌😇✌️
@@ShArPy1o1Games My guess is a type of "breeder" reactor or some sort of "RTG" that makes use of your old "spent" fuel.
I'm keen to find out asap hahaha
Great Sharpy!!!! just please explain a little more how Admit valve works pls, i didnt get it

Yes I know how a PWR works and the decay of fuel lol... I don't think you understand where I said the potential bug may be 👌✌️
But that's ok

Thus less efficient.
How is 65% with 1 loop taking less heat away with 2 loops at 20% each? Doesn't make sense to me?
