ENERGY REACTOR DESIGN TEAM

  Here at ERDT, we are focused on inventing new and innovative ways to generate energy, not only by nuclear fission, but by other means as well. Everyone is invited to join the RDT(Research & Design Team) of this company to create and submit prototypes, where at the end of each month, there will be a showcase of the best ones, including save files!

  Over the years, there has been multiple research teams focused on designing cities and reactors. After time, these channels were lost to time due to a lack of popularity. However, on 29th June 2024, a specific set of people with a set of skills created a channel to end them all. ERDT. The Energy Reactor Design Team rose from the lost remnants of previous channels to finally make premium reactor designs and breakthroughs available to the common sandboxian.

  Of course, here at ERDT, our mission is to make reactor prototyping fun and enjoyable! Our Motto: "Urani-Yum", encourages people to live life to the fullest, while embracing the little enjoyable things, such as radioactive isotopes. You can only have one life. MAKE IT COUNT! Join the ERDT now!

[rugged cobalt]

seems interesting

[main epoch]

(:

[rugged cobalt]

do u have a slot on ur team for the modders

[main epoch]

sure, why not?

[cobalt fog]

wonder why the smoke is a little bit different....

[main epoch]

YAY!!! pollution!

[cobalt fog]

bro you like pollution?

some ol' reactor i made

nvm its explode

[drowsy dove]

Reactor draft 0.1

[main epoch]

ooh

[drowsy dove]

I only detail things at the end, ok

Also, it's practically impossible to melt down

Citation:trying to make it meltdown safe

[main epoch]

(; just made this. Can you help me detail it?

[drowsy dove]

No, im bad at art

Ziky_LiveyLive should be able to help

(aesthetics team)

I made a radiation accumulator by accident...

A slow reactor

[main epoch]

ooh

[main epoch]

too bad he aint online rn

[main epoch]

thats pretty small though

[drowsy dove]

But slow to heat up

Needs improvement

[main epoch]

hehe

technically a reactor

heats up really fast

[drowsy dove]

But needs power input

[main epoch]

and explodes

[main epoch]

true

[drowsy dove]

I managed to shrink the core

Normal reactors are still smaller, though

With multiple cells, its denser to make a normal reactor

[main epoch]

i have electricity and heat. now what?

[drowsy dove]

More reactor blocks

Its possible to make a working(not good looking) reactor with only pipes and spouts

[main epoch]

still... if it works, it works

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

Reactor draft 0.2

This will take a long time...

I'll just cheat and shock the wires for testing

[main epoch]

hmmm

[drowsy dove]

Draft 0.1 (of a different reactor)

[main epoch]

@drowsy dove

uhh.. seems to use a little too much uranium.

if 1 m3 of U235 is 19,050kg, and Uranium is worth $85.70 per kg, 1 m3 of Uranium is $1,632,585.

Assuming a human is 1.8m in height, a pxl is 0.9 m in length. 0.9m cubed is 0.801 m3.

Therefore, 1 pxl of uranium is worth $1,307,700.59 or $1.3mil since 1,632,585 divided by 1000 times 801 = 1,307,700.585.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA SPEND THAT MUCH???

^ i spent 2 min calculating all this

[drowsy dove]

It lasts forever, though

or rather, many years

[main epoch]

oh really?

[drowsy dove]

It uses shockers, which i guess would take 60000 ticks to deplete into lead

[main epoch]

its only gonna last 1.4 billion years as U235 half life is 700mil years

Assuming it only started existing when the reactor started

[drowsy dove]

Its accelerated by the shockers

[main epoch]

i just realised yours and mine look vastly different.

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

Here's a core meltdown (which cant happen during normal operation anyway)

[main epoch]

you purposefully 'meltdown'-ed your reactor?

[drowsy dove]

TESTING

[main epoch]

(:

[drowsy dove]

Also, if it melts down, the funnel would have to be sealed with sand or smth

[main epoch]

yeah

[drowsy dove]

Since it pumps out the uranium slowly

[main epoch]

you dont want people randomly dying. not good for pr

(:<

[main epoch]

this one even has a temperature gauge and a emergency stop button

[drowsy dove]

I managed to make it safe if it melts down (through sabotage)

Good for PR

(The sand was added later)

[main epoch]

TEMPERATURE GAUGE:

1. You are going to need solids with melting points within the temperature detecting range you want to measure.
   2.Wire them up to sensors and LEDs.
   3.Done!

[drowsy dove]

I might set it up for the startup reactor

[main epoch]

(:

[drowsy dove]

Because its the only one that can meltdown without sabotage

[main epoch]

wha

[drowsy dove]

The small one on the bottom left

That supplies the shockers with energy

[main epoch]

oooooooohh

currently adding a section to monitor cooling systems

aww... mnem went offline...

[rugged cobalt]

not how half life works

if i have a substance with a half life of 1 second

after 1 second, 50 percent remains

after 2 seconds, 25 percent reamins

adter 3 seconds, 12.5 percent remains

[main epoch]

ohh...Thks

[rugged cobalt]

pixels seem to be closer to 0.825 meters in length based on human height

but i think for large/small builds, the builder could provide a scale reference

i mean jeez, just a singular pixel of gold is worth 800 million according to this scale...

[drowsy dove]

Im online again

Was eating lunch

[main epoch]

yeah

[drowsy dove]

Also, the equation is e=s*(1/2)^i

where e is end number of atoms, s is the start number of atoms, and i is the amount of half lives

[main epoch]

okay.

[drowsy dove]

Made a working neutron reactor

Now to expand it

[main epoch]

yay

gn y'all. Im gonna sleeeeeeeeppppppppppvdjrlishlfk............

[agile halo]

oh hi

I am og nukeman

Lost most my old designs heres my current one

I try to balance looks simplicty and fcntionaity

[main epoch]

Hello! what would you like to be?

[agile halo]

also made this some time ago

[agile halo]

uhh

[main epoch]

^

[agile halo]

im not really sure

[main epoch]

design perhaps?

[agile halo]

hmm

perhaps I could take up a more assisting role

im not too wel versed in the most technical of design asepcts

[main epoch]

okay.

[agile halo]

like i wouldnt be too able to make some hi tech stuff like this

but i could probably help people with designing and making and whatnot

[main epoch]

wanna be a team lead or co-admin then?

[agile halo]

yeah sure co admin sounds good

[main epoch]

cos i wont be on for certain times of the day

[agile halo]

its the summer and im quite free so sure

[main epoch]

your name is now on the board

[agile halo]

does electrified hydrogen expode now tf

[main epoch]

yes

like propane

[agile halo]

damn

fuck hydrogen explodes ok i may have to redesign the neutron emitter

revised

[main epoch]

noice

[drowsy dove]

Also, Amber(the element) seems like a good candidate for a self melting safety seal

(It turns into smoke at a convenient temperature)

[main epoch]

YES! THATS THE BREAKTHROUGH I WAS HOPING FOR! Thank you!!!!!

[drowsy dove]

You're welcome

[main epoch]

Lead too

[drowsy dove]

Amber melts slightly too late

I guess lead might work

Still in need of one that melts just slightly faster

Plastic seems like a good candidate for large reactors that have to be flooded with steam quickly

Safe core proto-prototype

(it floods it with steam, and then lets it out)

Less dangerous than a meltdown, but needs containment

[main epoch]

hmmm.. true

Hey @cobalt fog , can you help me deco this?

[humble raptor]

merw mrr? (What's this?)

[main epoch]

wait. Star's here?

noice!

[humble raptor]

prr...

[main epoch]

what do you wanna be?

[humble raptor]

mew. (idk)

[main epoch]

How about...a save reviewer! we don't have one of that!

[humble raptor]

nya.(K)

[main epoch]

(:

[cobalt fog]

I gotchu bro

brb

im making my residence rn

[main epoch]

k

[humble raptor]

(owO)

[main epoch]

(;

[drowsy dove]

It turns out that something that melts faster than plastic is needed

Even plastic isnt quite good enough

[main epoch]

solder?

its melt. point is 200

or tin

[drowsy dove]

May investigate because it allows for bigger reactors

[main epoch]

yeah. i used it in:

for automatic cooling systems

[drowsy dove]

Might be possible to do better with the compactness, though

Like merging the boiler with the reactor

[cobalt fog]

sorry if ya think kinda bad

@main epoch there is

[main epoch]

pretty nice!

can you send save file?

[main epoch]

thanks

[cobalt fog]

you're welcome.

ask me anything to decorate it

[humble raptor]

mrw? (who you?)

[cobalt fog]

Ziky LiveyLive. An Decorator of E.R.D.T (Energy Reactor Design Team).

Just call me Ziky or Livey.

[old blade]

https://tenor.com/view/maxwell-kocykvr-maxwellcat-max-maxwel-gif-17324006453246682051

[drowsy dove]

You should really just add a pipe around the reactor the next time

[old blade]

uh can i join the mod and design team?

[drowsy dove]

You'll have to wait for an admin to come online

@main epoch @agile halo Because this thread is getting kinda long, can you pin the first post?

[drowsy dove]

Why tf is this generating electricity

And then electrolysing

It seems to be from lightning

[drowsy dove]

Self flooding core

Which is just barely unstable

[main epoch]

sure!

[main epoch]

im on now

hello @agile halo

[humble raptor]

mrww...(yawn...)

[main epoch]

Star's on!

[cobalt fog]

(building, not a machine)
hydropower reactor

hahaha nuke go boooom

[drowsy dove]

Nah, I bet you can fit a working reactor in that

And then paint it

[main epoch]

yeah. I think i can

[cobalt fog]

acid

damn 333333333 stars

[agile halo]

Hi

Celebrating the fourth

[agile halo]

Pretty sure i made that one before pipes existed

[agile halo]

For containment I typically used sand because it fuses with molten uranium into rad glass, way less dangerous

I have an idea

Take a reactor core

Pipe at the bottom of all the uranium

Up to the sides so that the uranium cycles thru

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[drowsy dove]

I made a better version that basically encases the uranium in molten solder

[drowsy dove]

I made something like that, but with a very small chamber

[main epoch]

that is simply brilliant.

oh hi @drowsy dove !

[drowsy dove]

But I didn't know about the fusing

[main epoch]

wdym?

[drowsy dove]

(Sand is useless for emergency containment, because the steam bubbles through)

[main epoch]

yeah. pretty cool if you ask me

[drowsy dove]

That sand fuses with molten uranium

[humble raptor]

nya!

[drowsy dove]

Translate

[main epoch]

Star's on!

[humble raptor]

???

[main epoch]

i think its just an exclamation

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[drowsy dove]

Nvm

[drowsy dove]

Hello

[main epoch]

(:

[agile halo]

ok

am on

cycling core with salt added just for now

ill probably replace it with sand

im just tryna develop a workning fuel cycle

lead buildup is a bitch

[agile halo]

variable fuel cycle

you can do just urnaim

uranium_+sand

wahtever you please

also made a normal fuel cycle conversion

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

In fact, we'll use all 3 mechanisms

All of them can be made very safe

[agile halo]

first one has lead clogup problems

I have a naming scheme for reactors

First Sequence-Second Sequence

First Sequence:

Cooling + Fuel Cycle:
(Cooling is the thing directly touching the reactor, not the boiler)
EX: NCU = Nitrogen Cooled Uranium
EX: NCVFU = Nitrogen Cooled Variable Fuel Uranium

N = Nitrogen
C = Carbon
(More naming convention to be established later)

U = Uranium
VFU = Variable Fuel Uranium (Uranium + other stuff)

Second Sequence:

Letter+Multiple of 100
Letter is the Series (Basically like a new frame/chassis for a car) and number is Model (Basically like upgrades/iteration)

IM gonna use this, but @main epoch thoughts on adapting this officially

[drowsy dove]

I have another naming scheme (which also works for neutron reactors)

Cooling element codes

W:water

G:gallium

N:nitrogen

Reactor type

S:shocker

C:cycling (prefix)

N:neutron

Safety scheme

CW: core flood water

CS: core encase solder

CP: core encase plastic

CL: core encase lead

A : automatic (prefix)

Cooling loop type

O: open loop

C: closed loop

H: hybrid

merge as: [cooling element code][cooling loop type][Reactor type with prefix][safety scheme+prefix][incrementing number from 1-999][a code for each user, maybe the first letter in their original display name when joining, for now]

May be overcomplicated

E.g. WOCNACS001M

Slightly odd results (maybe add extra characteristics like containment type etc.).I guess its more typical of a random capacitor from digikey than a specific reactor core.

@main epoch either choose this #1256780860179353672 message or this #1256780860179353672 message as an official naming scheme

Or another one, if you want

Extension: forgot to add VFU, make it prefix V for the reactor type, always earlier than C (if applicable). NS should be used as the safety system field, if there are no safety systems.

E.g. NCVCNNS001O

[drowsy dove]

I think ill use it for archiving

Just because it's slightly more predictable and descriptive than nukeman's (which is still good), but isnt as concise

[agile halo]

Do we have an offical archive

If not I can make the google folder

[drowsy dove]

Im planning on making an archive

Mostly based on excel and zip files

Just defining the system now

[agile halo]

Ag

Ah

Isnt google stuff more acessible typically

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

I'll put it on google drive, maybe just the files and the defining PDFs, though

The spreadsheet is mostly for record keeping of incremental numbers

[agile halo]

id say

Google Folder

A google sheet with all the reactors (codes), person who made it

then a folder in the folder with all the stuff

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

I'll add a docs file

Ill keep the main record keeping (local to computer) on an excel sheet because i like it better

[agile halo]

should probably add a dash between the type and number

NCVCNNS-001O

signifcantly easier

also if its fine with yall i call dibs on N

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

[drowsy dove]

Specify

Im not sure what you mean

[agile halo]

the name

tag

[drowsy dove]

Ok

Here's a PDF detailing what i mean (the code system is slightly different from the posted version)

[agile halo]

ERDT NAMING CONVENTION - PROPOSAL

Adapted from @drowsy dove 's idea

Cooling element codes
W:water
G:gallium
N:nitrogen

FC: Coal Burning
FO: Oil Burning

[drowsy dove]

Thanks for the reformat

[agile halo]

wait this doesn't account for gas turbines

whatever

just have gast turbines be GT-numberusercode

[drowsy dove]

I might add non nuclear power plants to the spec

[agile halo]

well its ERDT

not NERDT

so

[drowsy dove]

All of them are

Technically

I guess

[agile halo]

Gas burning turbine

Vs seam turbine

[drowsy dove]

So basically running directly off the smoke

Ill add that

[agile halo]

Also add a code for if its modded

Id say at the front

V-rest of stuff and M- rest of stuff

[drowsy dove]

I think i'll make it a suffix at the end

After the number code

With a dash

something like

NCVCNNS-001N-NM

NM for unmodded, a specific set of letters for mods

e.g. CH for chem.js

or PU for pusher.js

To be chained together in alphabetical order

[agile halo]

k

[agile halo]

@drowsy dove can I change N for neutron to NU to neutron uranium

[drowsy dove]

Theyre designed to be one letter

[agile halo]

so n for neutron uranium

[drowsy dove]

Here's a redraft of the pdf (less cursed)

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

[agile halo]

K

[drowsy dove]

They're in the pdf i just posted

[agile halo]

nice

NCNACL-001N-NM

[drowsy dove]

Thanks

Will verify the name, and then save it as an archive

[agile halo]

damnit

now we need archival staff

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

For now, i can probably manage on my own, because its still rather small

And i guess its kinda part time, because their job is basically to create zip files (VCS is a pain, so i guess their scope will be limited to making the archive files)

[drowsy dove]

The name doesnt have the safety system designator

[agile halo]

Acl

Automatic core lead

Lead just melts and covers it

[drowsy dove]

Ok

NVM, its completely correct

It just looks wrong

The first archive

You get all the credit for giving me the idea, though

[agile halo]

ah

thjs

[drowsy dove]

Now to see if ekle makes this official

[agile halo]

we should probably have a shorthand

maybe just number + tag

yeah sand core saffety is good

sure the eractor got ripped n half but theres no molten uranium and minimal fallout

@drowsy dove I think that for the numbering system

it should be like

for each user

the number reactor

so it doesnt amtter if the first sequence is diff

its just the number reactor you built for ease

well

technically its sand safety

thats the major mechanism

i think we should add a sand mechanism

[main epoch]

hi @agile halo

[agile halo]

hi

[agile halo]

mnem got us naming critea

hes archiving

[main epoch]

yeah

[main epoch]

These are a strict set of rules that should apply to all reactors created by any of the ERDT. Failure to comply will result in a reactor not being able to apply for the monthly competition.

This maybe?

tried incorporating his into it

[agile halo]

hm

imma wait for ihm to get on'

[main epoch]

wait. whos @karmic orchid

Do you wanna join?

[agile halo]

<reactor type>-<(main safety mechanism)>-<Cooling loop type><cooling element>-<Fuel>-<numeral(000)/nickname>

id say this

for simlicity

and for shorthand

[main epoch]

oh yeah. much simpler

[agile halo]

<numeral(000)/nickname>

we dont ned pixel counts thats uneceessary

[main epoch]

okay

[agile halo]

i hath invented an abomination

lord forgive me

would lowkey be a good boiler mechanism if adapted

[main epoch]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WzidN3tLqikdr09Rm73TbOOsISwTU6ruzbqx_LS8h6M/edit

[agile halo]

@main epoch also for archival purposes

Mnem is keeping the archive

change hybrid to H i dont like the star

[main epoch]

for example: this is unofficial name

this is official

[agile halo]

what does the example mean

@main epoch @drowsy dove is it fine if I make a folder and share it to you two as archivists

[main epoch]

sure

imma change pinned message

@carmine sparrow you're here?

[agile halo]

yeah i got him to take a look

[main epoch]

(:

[agile halo]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10TSyrS5dIqb9m_Hk1esOJ1Ihd9BB7jl5XWHxxW8Xy1w/edit

[agile halo]

FU-AECH/ASF-CGN-001EK

Shorthand 001EK

Actually nah, numerals should be in order, so if we say "reactor 300" we know what we are talking about

im gonna archive pcitures too for quick acess for non erdt membres

that way they can browse our catalouge

[carmine sparrow]

add [email protected]

[agile halo]

bet

[cobalt fog]

what a great day to starting decorate and build nuclear reactor.

[agile halo]

im only archiivng those 2 for now cus I gottwa wati for ekle and mnem

@carmine sparrow you got edit acess now

tho

idk what youd need it

[carmine sparrow]

just to observe 👁️

[agile halo]

tis public

open source

@carmine sparrow we are just gonna have a repository of reactors people can download and play around with

ERDT on top

[carmine sparrow]

have fun i am uninvolved bystander

[agile halo]

🫡

[cobalt fog]

Experiment-001.

[agile halo]

what perchance does this do

[main epoch]

NICE!

[agile halo]

shall we adopt this officially?

[agile halo]

<@&1086022797177913404>

join trussst 🙏

[young shadow]

This is now the third discreet stash

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

Also, good idea with the shorthand

Doesnt make sense for archiving, because its easier to do one archive per core for that, and it means it can be stored as a zip file as that name

But great for sharing entire reactors

(was sleeping in well, the night)

@agile halo Also, can you please also host the pdf for the long form

[drowsy dove]

Good idea

Also, just realised i can archive the boiler

The only changes i propose for the shorthand are to change the one for rad glass to just G and change P to CEP for consistency

Ill work on making the shorthand another pdf

When im actually on my laptop

[cobalt fog]

alright thanks for information

[drowsy dove]

Now working on pdf-ifying the shorthand spec

But should the nickname field use the name specifiers in the other spec?

[drowsy dove]

I kinda feel that will cause numerical collisions in the future

And it's going to be mostly managed by an excel file or an access db (the bookkeeping) anyway

[drowsy dove]

In fact, it's probably going to be very similar to the existing archive system

Also, im going to make very slight and superficial changes to make it slightly easier to document

Here's the finished PDF

(details all systems devised so far)

(revisions for clarification)

Also, almost 100KB

[main epoch]

WHY ARE THERE SUDDENLY SO MANY PEOPLE!!!!!

HELP

CAN'T hire all y'all. Sorry

[main epoch]

WHY

so... to you all who took the trouble to come here... wanna join?

[main epoch]

ahhh.. its so amazing!!! thanks! @drowsy dove

[drowsy dove]

You're welcome

@main epoch probably a good idea to update nurbs' name in the roles (first post sent) to prevent confusion

[drowsy dove]

Added more files to the archive

001M (yay, smallness)

[agile halo]

@drowsy dove SF for sand fusion safety mechanims

and

you forgot the emergency cooling designations

Main safety mechanism:
Emergency Cooling:
Liquid helium - ECH
Liquid Hydrogen - ECh
Liquid Nitrogen - ECN
Others - EC{element name}
Sand fusion - SF
Plastic cover - P
Self Destruct - SD
Core flood - FL

Core Encase Safety:
Solder - CES
Lead - CEL
Others - CE{element name}
Automatic - A (prefix)
Opening - O (suffix)
If you want to merge different types of safety mechanisms add a ‘/’ in between

and sand fuse which I use all the time

[old blade]

where are the nukes i came for uranium

[agile halo]

we make reactors

[old blade]

WELL WHERES THE URANIUM FOR THE REACTOR

[agile halo]

we are tryna make an archival system rn

ill get back to designing later

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18aAyYBsyNw_O987_9PmvTcwo5AI7JWMd0dGwme35ieI/edit?gid=0#gid=0

we have 2 in archive but the naming system is being udpated so i dont feel like putting more in

[old blade]

pick your pick

[main epoch]

(:

helloooo

[spiral prawn]

what’s this

[main epoch]

YESSS!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Nurbenheimer decided to free ping

that was my reaction

[humble raptor]

mrr?(wha?)

[main epoch]

@cobalt fog

Can ya help me deco this?

[cobalt fog]

I gotchu bro

[cobalt fog]

@main epoch I made it into underground reactor

[main epoch]

uh no i meant the inside

[main epoch]

^

[drowsy dove]

Ok, will fix when back on pc

[drowsy dove]

Good job

Also, I'll make a zip file of my copy (when bookkeeping systems are finished) in case I accidentally delete some

[drowsy dove]

Can you please send a save file?

For archival

[drowsy dove]

The only problem is that the humans erratically walking can cause meltdowns

[drowsy dove]

Thanks

May not be able to do it today, though

[cobalt fog]

ok

[main epoch]

uh no... no sensors for humans to operate it

[drowsy dove]

The older version did that

Or am i using it wrong?

Lightmap.js makes explosions look much better

@cobalt fog what mods did you use?

@agile halo Are you fine with core fusion sand to be lumped with core flood (e.g. CFS)

[drowsy dove]

Which one is the set of random pixels from?

I guess i should just use a designator just called Ziky's modset

[cobalt fog]

or here's a save with my mod
WARNING: MY SANDBOXELS KINDA BROKEN BECAUSE ALOT OF MODS. so yea enjoy

[drowsy dove]

Here (there are some minor changes to help with consistency etc.)

Here's a copy of all the archived cores so far

[cobalt fog]

imma take break from ERDT.

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[agile halo]

ye

[agile halo]

@drowsy dove we will adopt that as the official

time to start archigin

archignin

archiviing

[agile halo]

yeah no we are just gonna do

the order

\

[spiral prawn]

is this like a group that creates energy reactors

[agile halo]

yea

[spiral prawn]

cool

[agile halo]

If yall got reactors ill archive emm

4 reactors in archie

[drowsy dove]

Ive started

Not quite finished the bookkeeping systems (a bunch of python scripts, because i have a complexity addiction and python 3)

[drowsy dove]

I think there was a fifth one in the zip file i posted

[agile halo]

kk

[hallow lichen]

what is the control rod element

[cobalt fog]

what a great day to started decorate a reactor

[drowsy dove]

I can't be on my laptop today (travel reasons)

[main epoch]

Sure! You've done a lot of things!

[main epoch]

ok

[main epoch]

wdym

like graphite?

@agile halo can you help me archive?

wait. why does / end up as _ in here? ^

[drowsy dove]

I guess it cant handle a / charachter because of folders

[main epoch]

ok

[drowsy dove]

Maybe try switching with &?

Might help

[cobalt fog]

I'm back from taking break!

Time to work!

[main epoch]

but the naming conv says / to connect safety systems

[main epoch]

hi

[main epoch]

try making this meltdown

[cobalt fog]

Hello again!

[agile halo]

Will all be done when home

[cobalt fog]

Building a ERDT Storage room. Idk when finished

[drowsy dove]

Maybe change the spec slightly

To make it work

[main epoch]

maybe keep it as _?

[cobalt fog]

why all people from #⏳│sandboxels came here?

even ryan here

[carmine sparrow]

free ping

do u guys know about silver acting as a control rod now

[cobalt fog]

ok thanks for information

[agile halo]

im kinda busy tommorow very sorry

[agile halo]

ayo

what

fr?

[carmine sparrow]

yes recent update!

[old blade]

wait wut

[carmine sparrow]

silver absorbs neutrons

[hallow lichen]

coolio

[drowsy dove]

Yeah

[main epoch]

it does??!! That's sso cool!

[drowsy dove]

It did that for a while

Still, cool

[main epoch]

you're on!!!

i made another one! needs some refining

[drowsy dove]

How does this work?

And whys there blood at the bottom?

[cobalt fog]

that's a TNT not blood

[drowsy dove]

Ok

Doesnt sound very safe

Is it to make it explode if it gets too hot?

[cobalt fog]

yep
even it's actived with shock

[main epoch]

fireworks

its for self destruct mechanism

the humans in the room are not hurt

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[drowsy dove]

Very rough draft for a simplified logo

@agile halo I guess we're having the problem of having two different naming systems for archiving, with two different scopes

[agile halo]

Im gonna fucking kill myself

Sigh

Ill deal with it when home

[drowsy dove]

Here's the re-revision of the pdf

Also, just passed 100KB

[young shadow]

Yo guys I just solved your issues and I made a flawless device that can generate power and can't explode

[main epoch]

looks a lot simpler and more refined that whatever this was

[main epoch]

woo hoo??

@drowsy dove can you help me archive?

thanks. im currently out

[verbal wharf]

do i actually have to know how to make a good generator

[agile halo]

oh hell no

made this on canva

perhaps this

[main epoch]

since 2024 indeed

[main epoch]

this would be pretty cool in white

[main epoch]

no

just join and have fun

[main epoch]

look here for roles

[main epoch]

my reactor....NOOO

did you manually nuke it or did it meltdown

[drowsy dove]

Might make a colourised version thats more similar

[drowsy dove]

Looks nice, but im probably not going to use canva (i hate it)

Mostly because the simplest, nicest looking things on it cost money

[cobalt fog]

ERDT Contest: Build your best Reactor Building!
Prize:

[drowsy dove]

Translation: one pixel uranium for gold, one pixel gold for silver, and one pixel wood for bronze

[cobalt fog]

Correct!

[drowsy dove]

And you basically collect them together in a save

[cobalt fog]

Yea ik (i know)

[drowsy dove]

The winning reactors will be decided by poll, or multiple types

[drowsy dove]

Remember that nobody else knows this yet

Because it was done in DM

[cobalt fog]

yup

and we discuss it last midnight about the plan of it

[drowsy dove]

It melted down, but i think i just misunderstood how it worked

[cobalt fog]

should i send ambulance or what

[drowsy dove]

The CIA (for a cover up) /s

[drowsy dove]

Also, use lightmap.js and betterfire.js

It makes explosions look much better

[main epoch]

ahhh

[main epoch]

LIGHT MAP IS SO COOL

EVEN LEDS????

AND RADIATION???

FIREWORKS ACTUALLY LOOK COOL

@agile halo What about this for a banner of sorts

[drowsy dove]

Noice

The only thing that i would change is the exact reactor image

[cobalt fog]

"uranium yum yum"💀

maybe its good tho

[main epoch]

that is the motto tho

"inspired" by R74n

[drowsy dove]

Or maybe urani-yum

[main epoch]

hmmm

seems nice enough

spinning a wheel whether to change it

CONGRATS!!! YOU JUST MADE ERDT HISTORY @drowsy dove 🥳

You are now an official co-admin!

[drowsy dove]

Also, were there any new reactors added to the archive?

(was away for a while)

[main epoch]

uhh... mine ig? i didn't rename it tho

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[agile halo]

Ive been a bit busy

Ill update it today just bother me

[drowsy dove]

Link, please?

(i forgot)

[agile halo]

Im on phone I got no idea

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[agile halo]

Here also I havent share id

Drop the email

[drowsy dove]

I think im only missing your newest reactor and ekle's

[drowsy dove]

@main epoch @agile halo Should we get maybe 5 more people in through free ping?

(At a specific time (UTC), free ping will be sent. The first 5 to say they're interested will be considered to get a position)

Maybe make the announcement as early as possible, but the actual joining starting at maybe 14:00 UTC (well aligned for many continents)

And only allow it to actually start the next day

[drowsy dove]

The reason to do this is that it's rather inactive and the active times of admins etc. are rather misaligned, making drafting changes and implementing potential improvements to reactors hard

[formal rose]

@drowsy dove heads

[drowsy dove]

(ignore the coin flip)

[main epoch]

sure

[drowsy dove]

Ok. Waiting for nurbenheimer to confirm

[main epoch]

he's not online i thinl

[drowsy dove]

Eventually

[main epoch]

*think

[drowsy dove]

If it takes more than maybe 2 days, we'll skip nurbenheimer's approval

[main epoch]

k

[agile halo]

Yea do itt

Im kinda on vacation trip rn

So i am very sorry for the inactivity

[drowsy dove]

Ok

I'll send it now, and maybe do the actual announcement at that time, on Sunday (in the UK, im not in the UK, but whatever)

Or the earliest time possible after that

Send a message here when done, too, to avoid duplicates

[spiral prawn]

i want to join

[drowsy dove]

@spiral prawn
Wait for two days, until official recruitment starts

Details in the sandboxels channel

[spiral prawn]

ok

[young shadow]

Wtf are you guys even doing

Like

[spiral prawn]

they design energy reactors

they are hiring people to join their team

[young shadow]

Man imagine not using aluminum and uranium

[drowsy dove]

Specifyifyifyifyify the stuff about aluminium

I never used aluminium in any of my reactors

[young shadow]

This

[main epoch]

@spiral prawn as?

[main epoch]

wdym

[spiral prawn]

design team

[main epoch]

Sure!

[spiral prawn]

yay 😄

[main epoch]

^

[main epoch]

yeah. that's technically considered a radiation decay reactor. Wanna join?

[young shadow]

Maybe

[main epoch]

as?

[quaint tartan]

sounds interesting

[main epoch]

so do you wanna join?

[main epoch]

look here for current job spaces

[quaint tartan]

maybe as a modder

[main epoch]

sure!

[drowsy dove]

Quick question, why is there a space for another admin?

Doesnt really make sense because of co admins

But maybe just as a kind of final say sort of thing it would make sense

[main epoch]

oh well

idk

[old blade]

dibs

[main epoch]

on?

[old blade]

admin

:p

[main epoch]

oh really

Prove why I should choose you over promoting mnem.

[old blade]

exhibit a:

exhibit b: modding experience

exhibit c: memes

[main epoch]

exhibit a overruled

exhibit b maybe you could be a Modder

exhibit c: what...

[main epoch]

conclusion: Modder maybe

[old blade]

ok but that is literally over complicated, from a consumer viewpoint, it's inefficient

[main epoch]

safe tho

I managed to easily meltdown yours

[old blade]

did you use it correctly

[main epoch]

shocking the cloners? Yes

[old blade]

how long did you shock them

[main epoch]

until water started boiling

mine you can hold it down but it won't explode

[old blade]

nouser reviewed it and couldnt get it to meltdown

[main epoch]

hmm

[old blade]

i could never get it over 200c

*by normal operation

[main epoch]

I'm on a phone BTW

[main epoch]

ok

[old blade]

with neutron influx

[main epoch]

Then idk why mine exploded

Maybe you could be a co-adm or dt.

[old blade]

not flexing or anything buuuuuuuuut

[main epoch]

Wait

How

Why

When

Where

[young shadow]

Mods

[main epoch]

Which

[young shadow]

Also why have you never harnessed the sun

[main epoch]

Wdym

[young shadow]

Something like saves.js or smth like that

[main epoch]

Noice

Imma go get it

[young shadow]

I don't remember the name so

[old blade]

extrasaveslots.js

[young shadow]

It probably isn't that

[main epoch]

¿??

[young shadow]

Ty jayd

[main epoch]

@old blade ?

[old blade]

it isnt good to keep cooling water inside a reactor

it's better to release it because of how heat works in sandboxels

[main epoch]

For emergency

[main epoch]

Good idea

[old blade]

evaporating water will cause it to take most of the heat and rise into smth like a void skybox

repeat with cloners until the reactor is stable

[main epoch]

I got a few others

[old blade]

liquid helium isnt a good idea

[main epoch]

Check the archive

[main epoch]

this

not updated yet though

[old blade]

introducing the consumer friendly mini reactor

[main epoch]

where does the hydrogen go

[old blade]

i noticed that and i forgot about it

anyways

wrong image

pfft who even needs this section

[agile halo]

I can give you edit

Dm gmails

Ill be in china for a while

[drowsy dove]

Micro-mini reactor. That fallout totally doesnt exist

(only my laptop has the naming system download)

[drowsy dove]

Also, i should really update the archives

I didnt have a chance for a long time

[drowsy dove]

Save files, please (for archiving)

And now problems with having barely any signal

[main epoch]

hi! im back!

[spiral prawn]

hi

[main epoch]

hi

[drowsy dove]

Hi

[main epoch]

hi

[drowsy dove]

Can anyone please send a copy of all the recent save files?

Discord cdn not working for me

DM to get Gmail

[fresh ingot]

uhhhh where the hell is the naming system again?

[fresh ingot]

sandboxels lite reactor

[drowsy dove]

#1256780860179353672 message Here's a probably up to date version

[main epoch]

wanna join?

[main epoch]

@agile halo what do ya think? in progress ofc

[fresh ingot]

sure why not

[main epoch]

what do you wanna join as?

[main epoch]

^

[maiden raven]

what do you guys think about my reactor?

idk what i can improve or how can i make it look better

here's the file btw

[drowsy dove]

Nice

[fresh ingot]

design team

[main epoch]

Youre in!

[main epoch]

nice! 😄

[main epoch]

@drowsy dove help me archive pls

[drowsy dove]

I'll dm you my email (discord download not working for me, at all)

[main epoch]

k

[drowsy dove]

Im now actually managing to add new archives again

[drowsy dove]

Improved simplified logo

Slightly modified naming spec (no real breaking changes, just a few new elements and CE added)

[main epoch]

BRAND NEW TECHNOLOGY:
Automatic-Foam-Release

poooooffffffffff.......

Used in 004EK

[drowsy dove]

Here's a downloadable video in a zip file (exact same thing in every other way)

[fresh ingot]

i had a stupid fucking idea

sodium reactor

[drowsy dove]

Specify

[fresh ingot]

water+sodium

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[main epoch]

not too bad... seems like a self heating pot...

(:

Sorry. just hangry

[main epoch]

Well? @drowsy dove ? does it seem like a good idea?

[drowsy dove]

Seems like a good idea

But wont the radioactive steam just bubble through?

Or is it just to minimise damage

By filling up the other cores

[main epoch]

yeah. just to soften the impact

and could be used to release -273 degree foam by decreasing temp

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[agile halo]

When I get home in august i can archive this

[carmine sparrow]

archive archive archive!!!!!

[old blade]

smh imagine needing safety measures

problem with them is that explosions are the biggest threat with no real way to stop them

best way is to avoid them in the first place

a low heat reactor directly in contact with water is the best design for saftey

[drowsy dove]

Hopefully not this thread, though

[drowsy dove]

Some designs just make that unworkable

Also, even that can fail

I.e. loss of coolant

[drowsy dove]

Also, larger reactors are easier to manage and more efficient in space

[main epoch]

@drowsy dove @old blade @spiral prawn @fresh ingot

This message is to notify you of a new upcoming reactor design competition. The theme of the reactors you need to design is: "Small". The pixel limit is <500. Dm me or star(starcayt) for submissions. Due: 1 week exactly from now. Thanks

(:

[drowsy dove]

Ok

[main epoch]

bye. goin off for a while.

[drowsy dove]

Also, quick question, is the pixel limit operating or just the reactor itself?

[fresh ingot]

hey uhhh what would a sodium reactor be

[drowsy dove]

None of them

Needs addition

Actually, it would be B

[fresh ingot]

i mean it doesn't burn it

[drowsy dove]

Ill change it to uses

Just mentally substitute that until i make the edit

Also, any ideas for improving [this](#1256780860179353672 message) logo

(other than adding colour, its meant to be two colour)

[fresh ingot]

i had an idea

[drowsy dove]

Other than adding colour, i said...

[fresh ingot]

i hate oversimplification

[drowsy dove]

It's basically something to put next to the title of documents

It shouldnt be too complex, because that's just distracting

[rugged cobalt]

tried adding a cloud thing and rounding the ends of the lines although im not too sure about it

[drowsy dove]

Nice

Doesnt really fit in with the rest of the logo , though

[main epoch]

reactor itself(not running)

[old blade]

smh imagine using coolants

[old blade]

you wont need coolant if your reactor never gets that hot anyways

[main epoch]

ok

[agile halo]

It is I lord nurbenheikwe

I can technically use my laptop

If I have time later when im at a hotel

I will archive

Send me files and names. Godspeed

[main epoch]

all hail lord "nurbenheikwe"?

[drowsy dove]

Problem: steam is needed to make energy

[drowsy dove]

Here's a copy of everything i have (most are ekle's, because i cant download, and he emailed them)

You may find the zip files have a different naming system, though

Here's a gdrive link to a copy of the entire thing

[main epoch]

what happened to releasing the heat through steam?

[humble raptor]

mrr? (me?)

[drowsy dove]

Yes

[humble raptor]

mew!(ok!)

[old blade]

Solution: make your reactor just hot enough to boil water but not to explode

[old blade]

that design is too large

[drowsy dove]

Space inefficient

Also, it runs out faster

[old blade]

fym space inefficient

[old blade]

also cloners:

[drowsy dove]

It still fills up with molten lead

[old blade]

no

mine isnt hot enough to melt lead

[drowsy dove]

Besides, its just fun to blow up reactors in the name of science

[old blade]

but like

why

[drowsy dove]

Idk

[main epoch]

huh

[main epoch]

and to see if the safety measures are enough

[old blade]

(they arent, trust me, explosions do not care)

[drowsy dove]

They are

[old blade]

explosions do not care about sand

only radiation does

the explosion is far more deadly

[main epoch]

but the explosion is to mainly damage the reactor and release radioactive stuff.

[main epoch]

^

[drowsy dove]

Looks dangerous, but isnt

[main epoch]

nice.

[main epoch]

@old blade 1st
@drowsy dove 2nd

Pls update your medal saves

[drowsy dove]

Ok

I did make some changes afterward, but it wouldn't have changed anything anyway

[agile halo]

Oh my god I keep forgetting

Archives tonight if I dont start kick me out

[drowsy dove]

Here's a zip

Also, can anyone with cores to archive please dm for gmail (discord downloads not working)

[agile halo]

@drowsy dove whos z and whos M

also please name the reactor file the code of the reactor it makes my job easier

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18aAyYBsyNw_O987_9PmvTcwo5AI7JWMd0dGwme35ieI/edit?gid=0#gid=0

🫡

it has been done

i just dont know who Z is supposed to be

[drowsy dove]

ok, thanks, also, the naming system is different, in case you didn't notice

[drowsy dove]

Here's the docs

[agile halo]

oh no I had to go redo the whole archive

lmao

[drowsy dove]

(in this case, it's ziky)

[agile halo]

i saw the namng

tis been done I shall rest the archives are stocked

[drowsy dove]

Also, take new screenshots of the ones that show only the core, if you want to do that

(some show only the core and nothing else, except safety)

[drowsy dove]

Inexplicably, im now able to download things, but only on mobile data

[main epoch]

thanks so much

[drowsy dove]

2 days until im finally able to update the archive correctly...

[main epoch]

15 days till my bd! (:

[restive iron]

woah

what exactly is this again

[zealous cipher]

Enter

[main epoch]

@zealous cipher what do ya wanna join as?

[zealous cipher]

Yep

[main epoch]

^

[zealous cipher]

Ok read it

[main epoch]

uh no. the roles are there for you to choose

[zealous cipher]

Ok!

Asthetics

[main epoch]

(:

[zealous cipher]

Cuz theres less slots which means less people agree on my decorations :D

[main epoch]

hmm

bye!!!

[zealous cipher]

Cya

[zealous cipher]

Wrong link oops

#1271400756406386782 message

[drowsy dove]

If the poll gets 15 votes in total, im ending it early

Otherwise, i guess you have to wait for a week...

[drowsy dove]

Also, hope you all won't mind, but i'll have to end the poll 5 days early (because of school opening in 10 days, and it'll take a while until everything is set up)

Non members are also allowed to vote
