    Yea. Ive been playing since like second or third grade, and i got my BS in Mech&Nuclear Engineering in 2024 spring. It is really cool I think, that the "pressurizer" which sounds like it would be some complex system that carefully manages pressure is actually just a steam bubble that does it automatically.

    Neat. (I think nuclear reactors are very interesting and I know some of the real-life basics, but never knew exactly how the pressurizer works until now.) +1

    I mean generally the pressurizer is like 20-30 cubic meters. Made it as large as possible in TPT so that there was enough 4x4 grids for a better pressure effect.

    i recommend building them big as it is unstable and hard to maintain this steam balance with small reactors
