Tip
The indicator lights in this project make extensive use of red vs yellow vs green. If you have a colorblindness, please set that when configuring your device. Details on this can be found here. Note that any green indicator light will be blue in any colorblind mode.
The left of the bar is the trip time to the supervisor. This should be in the low single or double digit milliseconds unless the server is very overloaded. The right of the bar shows the current server time and date.
The top left block in the unit overview is the reactor status. This include the status tag, core temperature, burn rate, and heating rate. Four horizontal bars show fuel fill, cooled coolant fill, heated coolant fill, and waste fill percentages (from top to bottom).
If boilers are in use, the boiler block connects to the reactor and shows its status tag, internal temperature, and boil rate. Four vertical bars show heated coolant fill, water fill, steam fill, and cooled coolant fill (from left to right).
The final block(s) to the right are for the turbines, which show their status tag, power generation rate, and flow rate. A vertical bar shows the steam fill percentage, and on v0.12.2+ of the coordinator, there is also a bar that shows the current energy fill of the turbine. This would give advance warning of a potential turbine trip (see below).
Note that for water cooled reactors, the coolant will appear as blue instead of the light blue used for sodium in most examples here. If heated coolant is present, white will show for steam and orange for superheated sodium.
This display dynamically scales based on the number of boilers and turbines. The system in general supports a maximum of 2 boilers and 3 turbines, which is the amount of those required to run a max size reactor at the maximum safe burn rate. Examples of water cooled reactors are shown below.
- PLC OFF-LINE (yellow) → reactor PLC disconnected
- NOT FORMED (orange) → reactor not formed
- PLC FAULT (orange) → PPM fault on the reactor PLC
- DISABLED (gray) → reactor disabled, RPS not tripped or tripped manual
- ACTIVE (green) → reactor is running
- SCRAMMED (red) → RPS tripped
- FORCE DISABLED (red) → on servers with meltdowns disabled, the reactor is "force disabled" on meltdown
- OFF-LINE (yellow) → boiler disconnected
- NOT FORMED (orange) → boiler not formed
- RTU FAULT (orange) → PPM fault
- IDLE (gray) → boil rate zero
- ACTIVE (green) → boil rate non-zero
- OFF-LINE (yellow) → turbine disconnected
- NOT FORMED (orange) → turbine not formed
- RTU FAULT (orange) → PPM fault
- IDLE (gray) → flow rate < 100 mB/t
- ACTIVE (green) → flow rate ≥ 100 mB/t
- TRIP (red) → turbine trip (here this only means energy fill is ≥ 99%)
Facility level SCRAM and alarm ACK (ack all alarms for all units) are to the left of the process controls, above the facility annunciator. Facility radiation is displayed below, and the count of all connected RTUs is displayed next to that.
The three control target controls are at the top left of the process control. The burn target is a target burn rate that will be split amongst all the assigned units. The total burn rate of all assigned units is shown in the indicator in brown. The charge target is the induction matrix charge level in MFE to attempt to maintain with process control. The current charge of the induction matrix is shown in the indicator in brown. The generation target is the total induction matrix input rate to attempt to maintain. The current induction matrix input is shown in the indicator in brown. The selector for which mode is next to the burn target control.
- Monitored Max Burn: Run all assigned units at their burn limit. This provides the advantage over manual control of including auto SCRAM safety checks ("Monitored").
- Combined Burn Rate: Use all assigned units to attempt to meet the Burn Target.
- Charge Level: Use all assigned units to attempt to maintain the Charge Target.
- Generation Rate: Use all assigned units to attempt to maintain the Generation Target.
All unit limits are below the mode selector. The current burn rates of the units is shown in brown. Unit status indicators are shown to the right, including the ready state (all unit devices are online, OK, not tripped, have builds, have statuses, etc) and the degraded state (unit devices faulted, disconnected, etc).
Above the unit statuses are the waste modes for each unit. "Auto" lights up white if the unit is set to auto waste mode, and is off otherwise. To the right of that is the waste mode: Pu for plutonium, Po for polonium, and AM for anti-matter.
This interface controls all the units set to automatic waste mode. 3 waste products are available for production, in addition to enabling automated overrides.
The first automatic override options is "Pu Fallback". When set to Polonium or Antimatter with this option enabled, if the combined production rate of the connected SNAs for any given unit is insufficient to process the waste output of that unit, the system will switch to Plutonium production. This likely will only occur at night, but depending on your setup and conditions, storms may also cause the system to fallback to Plutonium. The main use case for this is to avoid waste buildup in pipes, but it's also a way to balance different waste product production with the day/night cycle.
The second option is "Low Charge SPS". This will allow anti-matter production (using the SPS) regardless of the charge level of the induction matrix. By default, anti-matter production will be disabled at low charge levels to avoid fully depleting your induction matrix accidentally.
- PLUTONIUM (green) → plutonium production active
- POLONIUM (cyan) → polonium production active
- ANTI MATTER (purple) → anti-matter production active
- Fallback Active: [white] Plutonium fallback is active, production has been switched temporarily to plutonium due to the solar neutron activators not being able to keep up with waste production
- SPS Disabled LC: [yellow] The SPS has been disabled (switching off of anti-matter) due to the induction matrix having low charge
Tip
You can customize the energy display to be in FE, RF, or J.
Most fields here are self-explanatory by their labels. Averages are placed below the field for which the average represents ("Average" below "Energy" is average energy). Average energy is over 3 samples while average input and output rates are over 6 samples. "Max I/O" is the maximum input/output rate available based on the induction matrix providers you have.
Three fill bars are used in this block. The tall wide vertical bar is energy/charge, the 'I' bar is input rate utilization, and the 'O' bar is output rate utilization.
- OFF-LINE (yellow) → matrix disconnected
- NOT FORMED (orange) → matrix not formed
- RTU FAULT (orange) → PPM fault
- ONLINE (green) → matrix connected, charge OK
- LOW CHARGE (yellow) → charge level low (≤ 1%)
- HIGH CHARGE (red) → charge level high (≥ 99%)
- Charging: [white] The energy level in the induction matrix is increasing
- Discharging: [white] The energy level in the induction matrix is decreasing
- Max I/O Rate: [yellow] The input and/or output energy transfer limit is being reached. You may want to add additional induction matrix providers if you need a higher transfer rate
