It's tough to say. Having to start a new game after an update isn't a new thing. You'll run into that even with some triple A games and big game companies with a team of developers. If you can't get tye old save to work with the update, probably have to start a new game. It might fix some of the bugs you've run into as well. On that note, the gages in the pump room seems like it's in percentage. As of why the different scales, it's probably more crucial for the control room to know the exact amount compared to the secondary control panel. That's my guess. Anyways, sorry that was so long. I'm happy to finally see a "let's play" style video of this game. I watched every video so far but this style can really highlight the game's mechanics.

Brilliant feedback with good info I didn't know... I think I'm just hoping that the old save will be compatible with upcoming updates etc in the near future possibly 🤔🤯✌️

With the amount ive played, i think i would enjoy the challenge... only if i know the save is in proper working order or at least somewhat close possibly...? 🤔🤓✌️

Thanks for the series, just bought so i'm binge watching.

Thanks heaps for the watch... Hopefully, the Chemicals update gets patched soon, so it will work as it should 🤔🤓👌

Really like your videos on this game, makes me want to get it myself. I think if you're save is busted you should start a new game but, you might want to go out with a bang for this season first. 🎆

Seems to be the popular opinion, to start again... Maybe doing a meltdown and just leaving in the train to start with more money/experience the 2nd time round? 🤔 Good idea of "going out with a bang" sounds fun, lol

I feel you should make a new save and modify rhe prestige so that you can immediately purchase your second loop. I wouldnt want to sit through episodes 1-3 again just to get to where we are now.

Modifying the funds or experience can do weird things to the game in the long run in terms of City demand in power requested etc.

Hey just bought the game, Think its best to start a new save. Im excited for the video's.

I love your Nucleares-Videos. I recommend your Videos to get started with nucleares - so did I. However - of course after 30 Minutes the Turbines blowed up - hahaha, but then it functions after a Maintenance-period. Until I changed the Generator RPM (I thought it would better to lowering the wear and tear) after about 5 Minutes the city cutted the lines. And now after 8 days I still can't get on the city grid with power (and the correct RPM LOL). Now maybe you might be able to give me an answer: Do I have to wait longer - untill the city excepts the power production request - or is it a bug and the savegame is stuck, so I need to start a new game to resolve the problem? 8 days with no power production makes me a lot of costs - LOL. Thanks for your explanations - you are a good Nucleares-Teacher. Greetigs from Germany

I'm pretty sure there is not a fail safe when then grid kicks you off due to fluctuations in power or not producing enough... not sure when they allow you back, if at all as that's something I haven't tried yet haha. Might be best to start again as repairs may have made you take out a loan that you now probably won't be able to pay back since your not able to output power to the grid...? 🤔✌️

Sounds more and more likely as I haven't noticed the reactivity gauge on the core panel, change much since the update and I think something bad is happening in the code/calculations with in the game...?

Any idea what the "external core coolant" tank 8:13 is used for? There is only 1 "External reservoir" gauge in control room and 1 in Chem room, both mentioning the waters edge. Nothing for the inside external tank. And the "internal reservoir" gauge (both control room and Chem) is referring to the leftmost tank 5:36 if I understand it correctly. Even if the gauge is broken, I can't figure out the use for that "external core coolant" tank since the internal reservoir (leftmost) fills directly from the water edge tank.

The 2 gauges on the left panel in the chemicals room are both broken... the external reservoir is a tank outside and there is also another external tank in your Core room, the names of things are a little messed up atm in the games coding and the Solo Dev is working hard on correcting these and others as we speak since another update will be released soon again haha 😇

The internal reservoir (located in your core room) is technically your "condensate storage tank" There is also another internal tank... aka "water tank" that is yellow and located on the 2nd floor of the chems room... also strange and messed up naming haha✌️ I have notified the Dev etc already on these 'bugs' and more 😇😎

Would it be possible to spin up the generator to nominal speed, on a lower voltage output in order to not overload the dummy load, for example by reducing the excitation? Yes, it's possible to adjust the excitation of the generator to control its voltage output during the synchronization process. By reducing the excitation, the generator can spin up to its nominal speed while producing a lower voltage output, thus preventing the overload of the dummy load. This method allows for careful control of the generator's output parameters before synchronizing it with the grid. Adjusting the excitation is a common technique used in power plant operations to manage the synchronization process safely and effectively.

When the generator is being started, presumably the output voltage and speed depends on the torque input and the resistance of the dummy load. So it is possible to spin up the generator faster and then applying lower and lower impedance to gradually increase output power?

@johandeclavillechristianse9374

5 ай бұрын

Yes, that's correct. During the start-up process of a generator, the output voltage and speed are indeed influenced by the torque input and the resistance of the dummy load. Gradually increasing the load impedance as the generator spins up allows for a controlled increase in output power. This approach helps in managing the synchronization process by avoiding sudden surges in power and ensuring that the generator reaches its nominal speed and voltage in a controlled manner. By adjusting the load impedance progressively, operators can fine-tune the start-up process to achieve optimal synchronization with the grid.

The Synchro in the game isn't as realistic as people think... the only thing needed to be done while it's coming up to match and sync is to open/close the turbine bypass to not blow your resistors up before actually synchronising and outputting to the grid, the excitation and rpm speed buttons aren't meant to be touched really 👌 But hey, as long as your having fun, that's the main thing 😎😂

@johandeclavillechristianse9374

So in conclusion: starting up the generator on a high resistance would much more rapidly increase its output voltage, to a point where it is possible to close the main breaker. In nucleares the resistors impedance is not modelled, it works on power instead. This means the resistors will be taking 100% of nominal plant power at the time when the circuit breaker is closing. This is unrealistic and the reason why they break so often during startup.

Might be a good idea to make a bug report through the Nucleares Discord as it seems like you know your stuff 🤔👌

I think there may be a bug in the time settings, i experimeted and am still confused, even sober. The first, milliseconds per minute, is essentially clock speed but the ramp-up speed of pumps is not affected. Change in temp or pressure seems to be, though. I have not tested throughly enough to determine if wear is affected but pump ramp up or down is absolutely not affected, turning it down makes the day go faster, turning it up makes the day go slower. The second "interval milliseconds". Pumps ramp up significantly faster, temps change at the same normal rate though. Not sure if this is a bug or what. Maybe i am just not setting things right. Also i have not yet started a new game save so maybe that has somthing to do with it.

The top 2 sliders for time settings... I'd suggest you don't touch those as that's the time for the games 'tick cycle' or how many calculations per 'minute' the games needs to do before continuing... The 2 bottom sliders are the only ones you want to change as they will have the actual effect your looking for... see my previous reply to see what my settings are and copy/modify to your PC's 'likings'

@ShArPy1o1Games im on steam deck. No matter where i set them does not seem to affect performance, as long as i have the quality profile set to balanced. But yeah its difficult to figure out exactly how each of the sliders affect the game. Yes the bottom i set to 8 and that makes my fastest setting faster, the first two are just not quite what i expect them to do.
