DynamicFissionReactorMachine

The DynamicFissionReactorMachine is the high-tier implementation of the fission framework. It extends the base FissionWorkableElectricMultiblockMachine with support for dynamic components and advanced scaling.

1. Dynamic Component Scanning

Unlike the static reactor, the Dynamic Reactor performs a comprehensive "Component Scan" every time the structure is formed.

Scanned Elements:

  • activeCoolers: Collects IFissionCoolerType from all internal blocks.
  • activeModerators: Collects IFissionModeratorType.
  • activeFuelRods: Collects IFissionFuelRodType.
  • activeBlankets: Collects IFissionBlanketType.

The machine uses the getMultiblockState().getMatchContext() to retrieve these lists, which are populated by the FactoryBlockPattern predicates during structure validation.

2. Advanced Scaling Logic

The Dynamic Reactor utilizes several scaling factors from PhoenixConfigs to determine its performance:

  • Heat Scaling: cfg().fuelUsageScalesWithRodCount — if true, heat production is multiplied by the total number of fuel rods.
  • Parallel Scaling: computeParallels() — calculates the maximum number of simultaneous recipes based on the moderator tier and count.
  • Efficiency Boosts: Combines EUBoost from moderators with the BaseCoolantBoost from the current coolant fluid to determine final EU/t.

3. Tick Synchronization

The reactor uses reactorTickHandler to ensure that its internal simulation (heat, fuel, output) stays perfectly in sync with GTM's machine tick.

protected void handleReactorLogic(boolean running) {
    if (running && !activeFuelRods.isEmpty()) {
        double heatProduced = computeHeatProducedPerTick(lastParallels);
        heat += heatProduced;
        tickFuelConsumptionMachineDriven(lastParallels);
        tickMachineOutputs(lastParallels);
    }
    // ... handling cooling and stability
}

4. Stability and Safety

The Dynamic Reactor includes hooks for IFissionStabilityHatchType. - Automated SCRAM: If a stability hatch is present, the reactor can trigger a setMachineActiveSafe(false) when heat exceeds the stability threshold. - Data Export: Stability data is pushed to the SensorHatchPartMachine for redstone integration.
