And what is the refined Fuel used for, i know you can insert it into the reactor, and you can control the Power Level, but is there anything else its used for when you insert it into the reactor?

the fans do cool the reactor, the generators heat it up (i think)

Yeah i get that now, but then that leads me to another question: What does the Generator System and the Fan Units do? I'm guessing the fans are another method of cooling.

The keypad on the emergency coolant only becomes active during a meltdown. That should give you an idea of what it does 😉
You can only use it once though

what do i do with the security code that the Announcement system is always saying, there's a key pad on the coolant machine, but it doesn't do anything.

Look at the charts in the manual PDFs given in the Media Section of the Map Description, And look on the screen in The room in the center of the column, the color on the screen corresponds to the colors on the charts. Remember that the switches aren't matched up perfectly with the A1-C3 codes.

Still, i'm confused

I spend 10 minutes trying to find out how the part with the switches work. (I watched your tutorial video)

Is there a solution for the switch?

if anyone wants to instantly melt down the core do
lua_run ents.FindByName("Temperature")[1]:Fire("Add", "5000")
For some reason the one posted initially uses weird quotes

this map gives me about 10 seconds per frame, and i am using 2 diffrent fps boosting mods

ah alright, ill try that. thanks for the help!

Was it started in single player? Sometimes that screws with some hooks used on the SWEP, so try opening it as a multiplayer server

i tried right clicking with the mining swep, but it wont drop the crystals

runs great with rtx 3050 👍

about to recreate the phillips disaster.

Is there any way to run this on more then 2fps

holy shit its laggy as fuck

Right click with the mining SWEP. It’s in the Q menu for weapons if you don’t already have it.

how do i drop the crystals?

uh i put rp_powerplant_v2 in my start up paramiters and it no work

Power cells allow you to increase the power level to those above 1, which will make the core temperature rise faster and hence requires cooling. In my server, which had a money system based on power output, it would give you more in game money for upgrades and such.

What are the power cells even used for?

You can mine uranium from the upside down using the mining laser SWEP. Those can then be dropped by right clicking with the SWEP and placing them onto the power cell console will install them. You can also refine them in the space station to make them last longer. You can also just spawn them from the Q menu under entities if you'd like.

How do you activate the power cells?

I hve like 2 FPS even tho i only have a few addons installed and i have a gamin laptop, it this normal?

Hey yall! I dont actively work on the map anymore, but I heard the manual was down. I added it to the description above along with an instructional video on the CAM and an ad-style video that was made for my server a while back. If I have time in the future I will update the map with the new live links.

im with the crystal analysis thing here, there's this.. thing with switches with like "A1, A2.." I Dont get what am i supposed to do here

manual leads to 404

i love the map, just too many errors

its spamming stuff in my console

it lags and say no bound shader

Yeah, it lags first thing on boot up

does anyone know how to not make it lag into oblivion?

You can reach out over discord, Fay#5177

how do i can contact you?

It used to be all hammer logic in the beginning but I slowly migrated it to lua to hook server and gamemode stuff into it

I have some vmfs laying around if you contact me privately

maaaaaaaan i really want to know how you made Reactor Temperature System in hammer, i want to make NPP with this system

very lag

Spawns me out the map keep killing me it told me to contact the owner

man. looks like a cool map. too bad it runs at a solid 1 fps.

sent a req - im the stackoverflow user

Sure, DM me on discord Fay#5177

Can I have the vmf so I can optimize the map? (For server, not on workshop)

I have no idea what to say then, it’s a bug that’s existed for such a long time, yet I never figured out how to reproduce it. The dedicated server I ran didn’t have issues

rip










sad to see I cant even run it properly on a dedicated server

I didn’t see that discussion, my bad. Regardless though, I don’t really support any of my gmod addons anymore, all I can really say is to make sure you’re not on a single player server, since that seems to break a few things.
