☢ NUCLEAR CORE
HOW TO PLAY
Keep the reactor stable and match the city's power demand!
THE BASICS:
🔴 TOO HOT? → Raise ROD INSERTION & COOLANT FLOW
💨 TOO MUCH PRESSURE? → Open RELIEF VALVE
⚡ WRONG POWER? → Adjust TURBINES & STEAM VALVE
SAFE ZONES:
🌡 Temperature: 280–350°C (shown in green on gauge)
💨 Pressure: 12–17 MPa
⚡ Match power output to DEMAND TARGET
QUICK ACTIONS (right panel) can save you from events!
KEYBOARD: Press C for Emergency Cool, R for Safe Rods, S or Space to SCRAM.
DANGER: Temperature >390°C or Pressure >19 MPa = 💥 MELTDOWN Events give 10 seconds of warning — react quickly!
TUTORIAL
1) Start the reactor and watch the stability ring (center).
2) If an event warns you to raise rods or coolant, adjust the highlighted slider or press the keyboard shortcut.
3) Keep Power within ±200 MW of the DEMAND TARGET to score points.
4) Use QUICK ACTIONS sparingly — they have cooldowns but can save you.
5) Try Easy difficulty if you're learning (use the slider on the right).
