If a reactor with partially expended fuel rods inside is deconstructed, the rods are lost.ĭespite the Data Bank Entry saying that one should not replace the Reactor Rods without a Radiation Suit, there is no radiation risk associated with a Nuclear Reactor. Once removed these can be discarded, stored, or deleted from the game by placing them in a Nuclear Waste Disposal: they cannot be placed in a standard Trash Can. If possible, get both of these blueprints. The area immediately surrounding Lifepod 13 is the best place to look for them as they tend to be most easily found in this area. A total of 3 of each fragment is required to complete these blueprints. Once placed in the Reactor, they cannot be removed until they have been fully drained: at this point their icon will change, losing the blue glow around their midsection, and they will become 'Depleted' Reactor Rods. The Mushroom Forest biome is littered with Cyclops Hull Fragments and Cyclops Bridge Fragments.

Rods are not depleted unless power is being drawn from the reactor.Ī Nuclear Reactor can hold a maximum of four Reactor Rods.

Each Nuclear Reactor has 2500 energy storage. Each Reactor Rod has a capacity of 20,000 units of energy: this means that if power is constantly being drained, a Rod will last 80 minutes, meaning a full reactor will last over 5 real-life hours. The Nuclear Reactor generates energy at a rate of 250 power units per minute (4.166667 per second) regardless of how many Reactor Rods are installed. Rods are inserted or removed by interacting with the computer screen which denotes the front of the device. Do a discussion search, there is a thread of location. the bridge is over near the mushroom tree and kosh zones for some reason. Hull pieces to scan in the bloodgrass biomes, bridge pieces in the dunes biome to the west and engine parts on the valley floor of the underwater islands to the northwest. The Nuclear Reactor is constructed with the Habitat Builder, and can only be placed in the centers of a Multipurpose Room or Large Room. Cyclops parts are broken into three sections. The Nuclear Reactor processes Uraninite Crystal-based Reactor Rods into Energy for use by a Seabase.
