MA Plasma Reactor

Description
Give your ship a proper engineering deck with this expandable plasma power system.

WIP: Plasma thrusters are coming!

This contains a reactor which converts plasma fuel to energized gas, and generators which run directly off this.

This is preliminary release, there will probably be a lot of balancing tweaks as I try to iron things out. The purpose of this is to supplement our power options, the normal reactors will still have their place when it comes to high power density.

Do NOT run this with oxygen disabled in world settings!
This is a keen crash, it has been reported and until they fix this, not much I can do about it. Simple fix is make sure "Enable Oxygen" is checked in the advanced world settings. It is on by default. If you get crash when trying to place reactor then check this setting.

ALSO: There is existing Keen bug that exists with hydrogen tanks, throwing my mod in the mix just makes it happen more reliably. If it seems like conveyor isn't working right then try restructuring it so that the tank is not load bearing part of the conveyor network.

would love to see more usage for the plasma then just power generation

my modding has been on pause for the last year or so, i just got too much going on. i definitely don't have the bandwidth to make a smaller version, this was a very time consuming model with all the details. my thought at making it so big was specifically to buff large ships and reward having an engineering section, but not obsolete the vanilla power options for smaller ships.

leonis i hope so :D love this mod

Is this mod still being worked on?

A request. but could we get a smaller plasma reactor even if it has an efficiency loss (less plasma per tank or more energy to convert to plasma) the size of the thing is pretty difficult to work with. Maybe allow the big reactor to bottle the plasma as a crafting recipe and have a smaller unbottler. that would circumvent the difficulty of making a connector specifically for the plasma conduits.

I did my best to change it, but I've never modded anything before.

Thoughts?

I meant the 5x5x3 one.

Hmm. I might have set the whole block to airtight. The mountpoints are complicated enough and I don't want to bog down the airtight calculations. Just don't take a nap in there lol.
Danman1354 26 Nov, 2024 @ 5:43am 
I noticed that all side of the reactor are airtight. How are you supposed to pressurize it?
AutoMcDonough  [author] 22 Nov, 2024 @ 5:10pm 
uh. that's odd. Are you sure it's not just that you aren't using much energy at the moment?
