Rimatomics question

[Targeter]

I cannot get my reactor to start. I followed every step in the process. Console connected to reactor via loom, 2 radiators connected to turbine via coolant pipe. Turbine connected to reactor via hot and cool pipes. Everything connected to power. Got a storage pool with 2 100% rods. But when I acces the console and put 2 rods next to each other and start the flux etc nothing happens. I also get the message 'Cannot load fuel into reactor type A (core is still active)
Am I missing something?

[believor in Prawn]

its active

press scram (scram = turn off)

even if it has no rods in it and is at 0% power its still "active"

i hope this helps

But how do I put the rods in the reactor?

you select someone with 8 or more inteligence skill

right click the control console and do whatever the button wants

click some empty spaces in the reactor (should have a blue arrow going down) press scram

and have someone haul the rods in

Yeah. I tripped on the same point.
You setup the reactor at the control panel, but leave it scrammed.
*then* you have a brainiac load the reactor.
and only then do you initiate the reactor.

They won't load until you have allocated the reactor core slots.
But they also wont load in you have already initiated the reactor.

P.S.
You only need the pool for rods that have already done a stint in the reactor. "fresh" rods are safe

Thanks! That was it. But during testing my reactor exploded when my pawn pressed AZ-5. Another pawn said he'd seen worse but I think he's lying.
