Hey all! Just built my first reactor (Type A), and my first weapon (Obelisk), and I just checked the rods to see how their lifespan is doing.

The center 9 rods are at around 90-91%, and the outer rods are at 99.9%. (This is with the reactor running steadily at 24%)

There is definitely an imbalance in the wear, since the inner rods are used more heavily due to adjacency and such. So I thought huh, soon I'm going to need to switch out the rods, and half of them are going to be damaged, but the other half will still have some good life left in them...

So, it would be nice to have some kind of task for sorting the rods while the reactor is shut down. Maybe a "Sort Rods" button if you have the Reactor selected, and when you click it it creates a job that a pawn with the Nuclear assignment can walk up and re-sort all the rods. It would be cool.

Otherwise... I suppose since it doesn't have to be done too often, it can be done manually once a year or something. Eject all the rods to the pool, and then have a pawn load the center first with the good rods, and then the outer ones next.


Side question, btw. Do each of my separate weapons grids need their own TCAS (radar)? Or do I need just 1 for the colony?
