A realistic nuclear submarine simulator will allow you to take command of your crew and battle your fiercest enemies. Arm yourself with missiles, dive into the ocean and fight for your country
[h1][b]Hello Captains! ⚓[/b][/h1]
Today, we're excited to share details about one of the most critical mechanics that defines our game - [b]reactor management[/b]. This system accompanies you throughout the entire gameplay, influencing every aspect of controlling your submarine. You'll soon realize that the reactor is not just a power source, but also a key element of strategy and survival in the depths.
[h3][b]🛠️ Reactor - How It Works?[/b][/h3]
The reactor is the central element of the gameplay, powering all systems of your submarine. From speed to sonar and torpedo systems, even controlling noise emissions - everything depends on the reactor's power.
[b]Main reactor parameters:[/b]
[list][b]Reactor Power[/b]: 0% to 100%
[b]Core Temperature[/b]: Low, Normal, High, Critical
[b]Noise Level[/b]: Silent, Normal, Loud[/list]
[h3][b]🎛️ Player Controls[/b][/h3]
As the captain, it's your job to manage the reactor and adjust its performance according to the situation at hand. Here's what you can control:
[list][b]Reactor Power Slider[/b] (from 0% to 100%): Adjust the energy output for the submarine's systems.
[b]Emergency Cooling Button[/b]: Quickly lower the core temperature in critical moments. Be mindful—uses are limited!
[b]SCRAM Button[/b]: Emergency shutdown of the reactor. Use only in dire situations, as it leaves the submarine without power.[/list]

[h3][b]⚙️ Reactor Operating Modes[/b][/h3]
Depending on the power slider setting, the reactor operates in one of three modes:
[list][b]Economic[/b]: Ideal for patrolling and staying hidden. Minimal energy usage, low noise levels.
[b]Standard[/b]: Balanced mode for efficient movement and system use.
[b]Full Power[/b]: Maximum output for emergencies like escaping or attacking. Be cautious of overheating![/list]
[h3][b]🔥 Managing Temperature [/b][/h3]
As you increase reactor power, the core heats up. You'll need to monitor the temperature and respond when it gets too high. Here's how you can manage it:
[list][b]Emergency Cooling[/b]: Use strategically when the temperature reaches "High" or "Critical" levels.
[b]SCRAM[/b]: Deploy this last-resort measure to shut down the reactor instantly. But remember, without power, your submarine is vulnerable![/list]
[h3][b]⚡ Tactical Use of the Reactor [/b][/h3]
Every situation requires a different approach to reactor management:
[list][b]Chase[/b]: Increase power to the max to outrun enemies, risking overheating and loud noise.
[b]Stealth[/b]: Lower power to reduce noise and stay undetected, at the cost of speed.
[b]Patrol[/b]: Maintain a balanced power level to manage energy efficiently and stay ready for any situation.[/list]
[h3][b]🔋 Systems Dependent on the Reactor [/b][/h3]
All critical systems on your submarine draw power from the reactor. Players must manually turn systems on and off based on available power and tactical needs:
[list][b]Ventilation
Radio
Radar
Sonar:
Active
Passive
Anomaly Detector
Pumps
Torpedoes[/b][/list]
Each system requires a specific amount of power, and some consume extra energy during active use (e.g., sonar pings, torpedo loading).

[h3][b]💥 Random Failures and Challenges[/b][/h3]
To keep you on your toes, the game features random reactor failures that demand a quick response. A sudden temperature spike? Leaks? In such moments, your skills in managing power, cooling, and the SCRAM button will be crucial.
That's all for today, Captains! We hope this mechanic adds even more excitement and depth to your underwater exploration. As always, we’re eager to hear your feedback and suggestions!
