Fresnel Mirror Cell Fusion Engine shutdown

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 7 comments

Hello,

I've been experimenting with the Fresnel Mirror Cell Fusion Engine. I was able to get the built-in reactor started, however the temperature of the loop would heat up to 1600K (as expected), and then the engine immediately shuts down because it has overheated. This seems to be an issue that only happens with the Fresnel engine.

See attached for my test vessel.

It's a known issue and will be dealt with in the next version.

I see. Would a temp fix like the PR help make it work meanwhile? Call me impatient... but I want to play with it!

I've already changed it locally.
Your fix would somewhat fix it, but note that it's the shutdown temperature that needs to be changed, not the outlet. With your PR, you now have a mix of systems outputting 1400 and 1600K, they should be consistent at 1600K

Ah, I see! The reactor should output at 1600K and have a higher shutdown temperature. Should I fix this, or close the PR as you've already implemented it? Cheers. Edit: I didn't see the PR being closed. My bad!

May I know the new shutdown temperature by the way? I assume a quick fix like upping it to 1800K would work for now

1800 is the new goal.
