Efficient Automatic Reactor Controller in Barotrauma

In this guide we are going to look at a 5 component automatic reactor controller in Barotrauma, specifically on how to physically upgrade your submarine's reactor.

We will be covering some of the following:

Faster reactor controller | (00:00)

How to improve the reaction times of the nuclear reactor's fission rate, so that you can run the fabricator, deconstructor, medical fabricator and turrets all at the same time without issues to the overall power load across your submarine's electrical systems.

Efficient reactor controller | (01:51)

How to get the best fuel performance, which will mean your reactor consumes less uranium, Thorium, Fulgraium and Volatile fuel rods.

Automatic reactor shutdown | (03:00)

In this section we are going to look at how to add 1 component so that your reactor will shutdown when trolls or accidents happen meaning that your reactor might catch on fire. This will help to prevent a full nuclear meltdown and explosion on your submarine.

The top memory component requires its value to be set based on how many fuel rods you have in at the same time:

4 fuel rods = 75
3 fuel rods = 50
2 fuel rods = 25
1 fuel rod = 1 or remove the divide component all together.

*Also for those wondering about the multiply clamp values you can set them to 0 and 100. However the divide components already have the protection enabled meaning the multiply doesn't need to be set.

One simple trick is to wire the raector meltown alarm to the door, so when the alarm turns on the door of the reactor room will close and won't open

I used the old video on orca 2, my engineer friend kept freaking out every time the reactor made the meltdown noise and stopped. This new video should help me calm him down in our campaign.

Tried this, reactor instantly burst into flames which spread through the entire ship and burnt me to death. 10/10 would try again.

Thx this has helped a lot, I no longer have power outages and I can use less thorium (my reactor needs at least one thorium rod or else when it gets wet the whole thing dies)!

As a mechanic/security/assistant player, i’m sure this information is useful.

[drachenkeks]

safed my day, good tutorial. Also made me understand Wiring better <3

[thepinkpyjama]

Thanks, we all know I'll be revisiting it every few days after I forget how to build it :D
Think you could make a short with the instructions on how to build it real quick?

Wow new video after a month. Nice to see you back

1'st memory component value visual control: If reactor "load" pointer attempting to stay in the center of green zone - your current value is perfectly OK, hands off from this memory cell.
If you see pointer leaning sideways - it's time to play a doctor... oh, I mean, an engeneer...

Also, should be mentioned, that if you in one single moment pushed whole bucket of rods into reactor - you must help to the system with sliders to reach new equilibrium faster. (unless you like runing with fire extinguisher, ofc)

Did this today in our groups playthrough....worked like a charm.

I have this setup in a Humpback. I set the first Memory to 31, as the max output for the Humpback's reactor is 3100. However I messed around with the second Memory. I kept finding that that even with four rods, 75 was running the tractor just a little too cool. So I eventually set it to 80 and that seems to keep the reactor just at the bottom of, what I understand, as the ideal temperature marker.

Hey ironic and dead please make a tutorial on how to wire things like a silent mode, ballast flora mode, overcharge... It would be really helpful as i cant find guides of it anywhere

[InvaderFelix]

So to be clear, "75" on the Mem Component is just a magic number constant, since (normal) fuel rods output 80 each from the FUEL_OUT terminal.

[Wetbadmad]

dude i was wondering why it didnt work then I realized I had no fuel left, time to put a fuel meter! I'm a new player btw

[chaz_]

Hey man, I love your vids and tiktoks and watch them all the time. What are your thoughts on the new storage patch with them removing storage containers?

[BanditsHouse]

For the new update I had to divide by one thousand and it work perfectly.👍

[cardinaleshkere]

Thx u very much, ima engi main and this will be very useful for me❤

[spork]

Hey I noticed you didn’t show what values you used in the multiply component are they also just 100 and 0?

[v.nikers]

3:01 yes. i was the one who blew up your reactor 🗿
