Compact Nuclear Reactor (Update)
Back, by popular request, the ever-loving compact nuclear reactor! My original, beloved, compact reactor did good in the old days but since then there have been many advances (mostly in my brain) that have come into existence to not only remake the design of the reactor core but also improve the output of the reactor. For those who used my old compact nuclear reactor, which can be found here;

You will be happy to know that this new reactor design is the same width, same height, but only 4 blocks longer. What do you get for that minor increase in length? Over DOUBLE the power output, as well as a stable reactor core that doesn't fluctuate or require any manual trim. This reactor core is completely "plug and play". So what other improvements have been made?
Well, the system now functions at the most economical steam flow of 60 l/s. In addition, the single generator design has been swapped out for a quad-output system that uses a clutch-based controller to get the most bang for your buck out of each generator. The single turbine has been swapped out for a double-turbine design, and the reactor has been slimmed down quite a bit. The reactor's power system has also been completely separated from it's generator output, preventing your builds from draining the power the reactor needs to operate. I have also installed a "boost" port. This port isn't to boost other vehicles, it's to power the systems of the nuclear reactor just in the event something drains the core battery to a point where it can't heat up.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Paste the reactor into your build with the selection tool.
2. Use the "medium" battery as the power output to your build.
3. DO NOT connect your build to the "small" batteries.
4. Enjoy over 2790 sWatts of power generation!
