I'm a Nuclear Engineer who has never seen the inside of a real NPP apart from movies. I'd like to thank the developer for this amazing and unique game that gave me that chance.

9/10 - Bring back multiplayer one day so I can play with my work friends I discovered this game when Twitch streamer Tomato was playing it. The guy is brain rot funny. Anyways, I work in the nuclear field and this game gives me the opportunity to be an Operator for fun. Super detailed game with A LOT of potential. I want to surprise my co-workers with it the next time they visit. Enjoying my time so far learning and expanding my little nuke plant. Great job so far! Keep up the hard work!

I turned off hints and skipped the tutorial. In game one, I set the circulating pump to 25 and the control rods to 90, but nothing happened. I then adjusted the control rods to 70, then 50, and finally 20, still with no response. As I walked around the room, I attempted to insert the core but was denied. I then set the mode to nominal and inserted the core, which triggered an alarm. The panel indicated steam detection, which is necessary to turn the turbine, but then the room turned red, and I died. I opened the game manual to read a bit. In game two, I started in nominal mode, inserted the core, and turned on the pressurizer. I waited until the pressure reached 160 before turning it off. I set the circulating pump to 25 and the control rods to 90 and waited. Then, I activated the cooling tower, set it to 50, and adjusted the steam loop to 35. This generated steam, but an alarm indicated the reactor was too hot, so I set the control rods to 98. The steam turbine began to spin up, but another alarm sounded due to no resistors being connected, resulting in a blown resistor. In games three to eight, I repeatedly blew up the resistor when connecting to the grip. I made enough money to repair it. In the last game before this review, I got all 3 loop and upgraded all components to the maximum. I'm at level 52 with 38 million. I was hoping for an achievement for it. But it's okay Now I will learn what iodine, xenon, boric acid and sodium hydroxide do.
