There are some rummors, that if you dont blow it, then you get penalty on willpower. Not sure if its true.

just wait till you hit chapter 4 and realise they haven't finished the game

I think im going to stop at the end of chapter 1 and just save it for later when more people have played.

I don't have time to do multiple playthroughs or reload saves hours ago to get the outcomes i actually wanted.

That's some serious choice paralysis, lol. Just pick whatever you'd do IRL.

I saved the reactor and now my rogue trader as a permanent effect. I'm not sure if there is a mechanical effect. The tooltip does not say -5 willpower for example.
I thought and hope it's only a story effect

A true believer would know what to do, your hesitancy is all the Archenemy needs, you should have been a commander, a leader of humanity, but you are like a sheep following the herd too afraid to make a desision because it could be wrong and your inability to act has doomed everyone.

There is no best answer here, it's the 41st millennium, all choices lead to death

ok fact so far
as long as you didn't just run or blow it up, you get a -5 will, seems permanent so far.
as long as you try to save some body, any one group out of the 3, you get +15 to iconclass

rumors
if you save the reactor it can turn in to some profit factor later down the road.
if you save both the rich and poor you denied the chaos god a portion of its sacrifice. thus making it weaker than it would have been.

honest not enough people at this point has finish the game and those that did is not talking about it.

You already know the right choice...you're already seen the warp influence planetside personally.
Chaos IS taking the planet and only one choice will prevent it and ensure the taint does not spread.

I loaded up my save, you get a -5WP permanent debuff.
Now I'm going to bed pissed. Especially given the the debuff description:
"The Ruinous Powers remember those who witnessed the death of Rykad Minoris. Woe be to any who draws the eye of the Archenemy"

My character was on his ship, sending troops to retrieve the fusion reactor. He did not witness any more than any of the other characters.

Now I have to hope that it was worth it.

The fusion reactor basically gives you wealth. Not sure about what saving the rest does besides story stuff. The debuff is temporary afaik, but you need to progress through the story a bit before it goes away..

He saw his actions resulted in the birth of a daemon world.
