Hey,

Ive lsot my nuclear reactor in my main playtrough due to a EMI site, which got me thinking doing some test runs. My setup was following:

2 Standard reactors,
2 Type V Big reactors.
All Reactors are fully fueled, standard Rods
the First reactor does not have Control Rod upgrade, the second does. For both.

All reactors are set to 90% Power and are fully fueled, provided with up to 3 cooling towers and 2 turbines for max effeciency.

Now I spawned either a mech cluster or a EMI quest site.
As soon as the cluster lands or the Site is generated, the console shuts off, leaving me helpless and the reactor to do its own things.

The smaller reactors, due to them probaly being tiny in compare, did start a self shutdown due to extreme Core temperature. Both Reactors shut down in time. Even the one without control rods just seconds before blowing up, but it did it.

Now the V Type reactors both blew up. They did both initiate a shutdown sequence, but deo to being fully fueld, on almost max power and suddenly loosing all 3 cooling towers at once left them with no chance to shut down in time, leading to a core meltdown in both cases.

As EMI starts, I have no control over the console anymore, either is it impossible (if not accepting the quest on my own), to prepare for such a event as it simply spawns in your face. Now that Mech clusters on Hihger diff. with high wealth are spammed on top of a the play like rain in the tropical forest, the chance for EMI generators to being set are high too.

While I do have a shuttle with a Antigrain Warhead ready to launch in such cases (to save my food), it is always to late for the reactor, even when immidantly starting the bombing run.


How do I prepare or handle EMI generators? Am I just fubbernucked in that situation? Do I have to have multiple Cores ready if one blows up? Thanks to the mod Reinforced walls I am able when properly build to fully catch a meltdown event without damage other then the walls, but even then the radiation, loosing power, rods and material while leaving the base defensless against the spammed mech raids is frustrating.
