It's sad when we release an update and the first comment is "does anyone have the blueprint string for the nuclear reactors"

Oh yeah, that's me. I've literally never build a nuclear reactor from scratch, and I'm pretty sure if I were forced to build one on my own, it would explode.

So you should still build one. Worst case if it explodes you can load the autosave. We were thinking of adding a section about "happy accidents" and how it's ok when players have to fail miserably sometime if they can laugh about it.

Nuclear should be easier for the average player to discover and work out with in-game info only.

That's a valid concern we are trying to improve with the new tooltips.

I was just speaking hypothetically. At that point(using them for the first time) he didn't know if they can explode or not. But even if they did, that's no reason to not try.
