How good is the nuclear reactor in Subnautica?

How good is the nuclear reactor in Subnautica?

The Nuclear Reactor generates energy at a rate of 250 power units per minute (4.166667 per second) regardless of how many Reactor Rods are installed. Each Reactor Rod has a capacity of 20,000 units of energy: this means that if power is constantly being drained, a Rod will last 80 minutes.

How long does a nuclear reactor last Subnautica?

Assuming constant maximum energy drain, a single Reactor Rod will last 80 minutes, but the Rods are only drained if power from the Reactor is being used. When power is being consumed at the base, the Nuclear Reactor’s capacity will not drain until all other energy sources are depleted.

What is the best power source in Subnautica?

We go over the best power sources in Subnautica: Below Zero and how to craft them….Bioreactor – Transform Useless Items Into Valuable Power

  1. 3 Titanium.
  2. 1 Wiring Kit.
  3. 1 Lubricant. Bioreactors are one of the best power sources if you have a system set up for farming resources or fish.

Will the fuel rods last forever?

Your 12-foot-long fuel rod full of those uranium pellet, lasts about six years in a reactor, until the fission process uses that uranium fuel up. First of all, water just physically cools down the fuel rods. But the water also provides some shielding for their radioactivity.

What is the best source of power in Subnautica?

Bioreactors are one of the best power sources if you have a system set up for farming resources or fish.

  • Bases where local flora and fauna are plentiful.
  • Bases where Solar or Thermal energy is not possible.
  • Working with indoor Growbeds and Alien Containment Units for farmed fruits, plants, and fish.

How far can power transmitter Subnautica?

Maximum distance between two Power Transmitters is about 100 meters, connects even through ground. Maximum distance between Power Transmitters and energy generator/seabase is only about 25 meters, connects only if an unobstructed line of maximum 25 meters can be established.

Does the Cyclops have a thermal reactor?

The Cyclops Thermal Reactor Module allows the Cyclops to generate energy from heat, as its name implies. Energy will only be generated if the Cyclops is in an area with temperatures greater than 35°C at the engines.
