Had the game blackscreen in the website, so I refreshed. doing so with a heat value seems to cause everything on the board to expload as if you overheated.
IE, have a max reactor heat of 3K and a current heat around 1000, refresh and everything will be wiped.
My first blackscreen occured when I was playing with heat transfer between pipes, outlets and fan's with just a few rods and a reactor temperature over 6000 of 10500, one of my heat outlets maxed out and it just black screened within 10 seconds of seeing that (The component did not break, the bar simply filled), during which I was adding more pipes to the mix.
Bottom left of reactor had (I was adding components then it occured):
Black screened again, seems related to heat transfer with heat outlets
Upon a black screen, you lose all upgrades, grid items etc, keeping only money, money in buffer, and heat value (Note the negative value, heat outlets like to make the heat negative a lot).
I was adding more load on the reactor with heat consistently transferring all of it via heat outlet's into the grid, each heat outlet had 4 fan's. the second I upgraded my bottom left most heat outlet to the third tier (with all the top ones under load at 2nd tier) and increased the tier of the fuel rods, the game black screened
Note: the order these gained heat (the outlet's) was top down, and right left. Once they all had a little bit of a bar (around 30%) and I had reached the final pump that had an empty bar, I upgraded that pump and then the fuel rods, that was when the black screen occured. Hence why I think its heat transfer related.
I tried all i can to cause a crash by placing object wildly next to each other and/or let them overheat but i can't make it crash. Can you by any chance describe what happend or what you were doing when the crash happend?
I got it too. I can't repeat exactly. But I noticed strange behavior(blinks visual and even don't build) when fast right and then left clicking to replace building.
like where its going, i do get a black screen so i cant really progress that much. and at some point you will be making so much money that the 2k money limit makes it so you lose money, and i cant see a way to increase that
Oh wow, didn't expect anyone to play or comment. There are "capacitors" in the 2nd menu or "heat menu" at the bottom. They increase the cap. Thank you for playing.
Good start, but I feel lost regarding many things. In the SS tab, what is the difference between the second and third rows from the bottom? They have exactly the same hover infos. What is the difference between the items in the last row of the first tab?
I think it would help to have names and short descriptions of the items and tabs.
Also I'm not sure how to auto-sell properly as I would have to spam half the building area with the auto sellers (or whatever the last line in the SS tab is called). Also does the auto seller speed benefit from that buildings' upgrades (which only state "storage")?
p.s. I get a black screen quite often. This happens when some building's heat capacity is exceeded. It seems there is no way to get out of the blackscreen except reloading the game (and losing all progress).
When an item is destroyed due to overheating, the item was still "stuck" in the grid. Thought i fixed it? I'll triple check to make sure no more crashs happen.
I was looking into saving progress yesterday. Will try to implement that today.

really interesting game

Bottom left of reactor had (I was adding components then it occured):
Black space = B
Heat outlet = H
Pipe = P
Fan = F
was modifying from (To experiment):
BFFF
HPPP
BFFF
To:
FFFFFF
HPHPHP
FFFFFF

i got way futher, but i stil seem too get a black screen at some points
I tried all i can to cause a crash by placing object wildly next to each other and/or let them overheat but i can't make it crash. Can you by any chance describe what happend or what you were doing when the crash happend?

May be it can help you...

It's hard to draw "heat" but i guess SS tab works. Maybe should recolor it or sumfin.
The first thing is the heatshield to increase maximum heatcapacity for the reactor.
Below that there are fans that cool themself. They get heat from the Heatoutlet or directly from the fuel rods.
After that are Coolant Cells. ATM they work like heat-storing-batteys.
The + shaped thing is "pipes" and distributes heat it recieved between adjecent items.
The Heatoutlet comes next, activly removing heat from the reactor to adjecent item (pipes, heat battery or to fans i.e.)
Last, the Capacitor. Automaticly sells 1% of the maximum moneystorage and increases max moneystorage.
I still need to work on the descritions. Will be clearer next shortly today or tomorrow.
Thank you for playing!
Makes sense. Thank you.
