Nuclear Reactors now have code for Meltdowns (Reactor Death Explosion)

[Lt Derp]

*Edit If a reactor dies, everything within a 35 cell radius is hit by the explosion, build your reactors away from the generators

Not sure if this has been noticed by others yet, starting at line 11141 of entities.lua:

meltdown_action =
{
type = "direct",
action_delivery =
{
type = "instant",
target_effects =
{
{
repeat_count = 100,
type = "create-trivial-smoke",
smoke_name = "nuclear-smoke",
offset_deviation = {{-1, -1}, {1, 1}},
slow_down_factor = 1,
starting_frame = 3,
starting_frame_deviation = 5,
starting_frame_speed = 0,
starting_frame_speed_deviation = 5,
speed_from_center = 0.5,
speed_deviation = 0.2
},
{
type = "create-entity",
entity_name = "explosion"
},
{
type = "damage",
damage = {amount = 400, type = "explosion"}
},
{
type = "create-entity",
entity_name = "small-scorchmark",
check_buildability = true
},
{
type = "nested-result",
action =
{
type = "area",
target_entities = false,
repeat_count = 2000,
radius = 35,
action_delivery =
{
type = "projectile",
projectile = "atomic-bomb-wave",
starting_speed = 0.5
}
}
}
}
}
},

A nuclear meltdown does not result in a nuclear explosion. There is this idea that an atomic bomb will go off when a nuclear plant melts down. It's just not true.

Not so sure it was "scrapped" for 0.16 per se, I think it's rather that 0.16 was pushed out as a Christmas gift for us even though it wasn't complete yet, so we could get to play with the new stuff (HD textures, artillery etc.) over the holidays.
May be implemented in a patch or in 0.17 still.

Who says? If it's built right, there's not shortage of fuel.

It may be a reference to the higher UPS usage of Nuclear versus Solar. (Solar is preferred for megabases).

Eh, I'm unconventional then in my attempts to upscale. But I can see your point, as I've seen how Solar extravagent you are in your videos.

Even if they don't put in the operational meltdown, they could have it fail due to physical damage from biters and cause all kinds of long term problems in the meltdown radius.

Just saying.

a good way to implement nuclear meltdown is to make it so that when a nuclear power plant overheats it catches fire and after a while it creates a small explosion. This explosion releases insane ammounts of pollution.

I think a cool approach would be to let the heat raise and if not cooled off suffichently (water converted to steam) it could melt down nicely or go into an hydrogen explotion causing insane amonth of polution due to the resulting radioactive cloud that wont make the biters that happy. Perhaps add a bump to the evolution while at it, alot of evolution have happened due to radiation after all (even background radiation...)

If you are going to take it that far, then we ought to also have the bugs undergo a nuclear mutation and become super-bugs that glow with radiation.

Well this is somewhat terrifying.
