Rocket Overheat Problem
-
Hi, so I have a big problem with a new rocket engine I built. I'm using TTAN to stop NEUT leakage, but its melting point is a LOT lower than CRMC (which I use for the rest of the rocket), so I have to have lots of clones making LN2 to try and stop it from melting. However this makes it a lot bulkier. Any ideas to try and cool it welcome.

If you're just using the TTAN to block the neutrons, there are much better materials available. Try using QRTZ or SHLD.

Tried QRTZ, got blown apart by the pressure. Thinking of trying MERC.

Cover the entire engine with INSL, add a layer of TTAN and another layer of INSL.
INSL can only be destroyed by fire and lava, which your engine does not contain, making it an ideal material. TTAN is needed only to protect the rest of the save from the high pressure created by the engine.
After all, if you don't care enough about engine destructibility that you use a lot of PRTO and CLNE, why not just use DMND?Edited once by EnganK. Last: 1st June -
EganK: I'm trying to use as little indestructible things as possible, but obviously it's not working out... Anyway, I'll give your insulation idea a try later, thanks for the help! (If you have any suggestions on the destructability problem too...)

“As little indestructible things as possible” - literally 65% ??of your engine (only the main part) consists of indestructible elements. The only thing about it that can be considered destructible is the CRMC body.
If you still try not to use indestructible elements, then I recommend completely replacing HEAC with INSL, removing all CLNE(LN2) (they are still useless), and instead of a separate “fuel source” and a bunch of portals, use one CLNE (DEUT) and one CLNE (NEUT). It is entirely possible to build a deuterium engine without any indestructible elements at all (including clones), but this is a significantly more difficult task. -
get good at designing rockets before you launch them into space :troll:

Hm ok thanks! I'll try my best!
Lmao
UPDATE - I did it! Down to 4 unbreakables (could have less DEUT clones, but didnt look flashy enough...)
