So you want to operate a fusion reactor? Well, it's about as dangerous as it sounds. On /tg/station, fusion has been redesigned several times and is currently on '''version 7:''' "Hypertorus Fusion Reactor (HFR)"-edition. <br>

In version 7 of fusion, you must build a [[Machines|machine]] called Hypertorus Fusion Reactor.
The HFR is a 3x3 multi machine that needs the proper setup to be built. In most maps you'll find a proper space with outlines on the floor to designate where to put each piece. <br>

Click expand to see the how to build the HFR. 
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
First thing first, you need to build the core of the machine. This piece has ONE port that is used for cooling the internal fusion mix, you can rotate the machine simply by using a screwdriver and a wrench (similar to how you rotate a freezer/heater) <br>
[[File:HFR core vertical.png]] [[File:HFR core horizontal.PNG]]<br>
after the core is done, build the 4 corner pieces in the corners of the grid and the 4 ports for fuel, moderator gases, waste and interface. 
The result should be something that looks like this:<br>
[[File:HFR built.PNG]]<br>
finalize it by hitting the interface with a multitool <br>
[[File:HFR initialized.PNG]]<br>
A little piece of paper will show up, it contains tips on how to operate the machine that you won't find here, so read it carefully!

<br>
Now that you know how to build it, let's see what all those buttons do by starting from opening the interface.

<br>
[[File:HFR Interface top.PNG]][[File:HFR Interface bottom.PNG]]

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The interface it’s quite big and it has an overwhelming amount of informations but we’ll go through them one by one (you can also scroll to access all infos)

[[File:HFR i switches.PNG]]<br>
Those are the main controls, they control how the machine will behave<br>
-Start Power starts the machine main loop and allow power drain and activates the other controls<br>
-Start cooling starts the machine cooling loop, the one connected to the core<br>
-Start fuel injection starts the fuel injection in the machine which will start the main fusion loop and thus starting the reaction itself<br>

[[File:HFR i gasmixes.PNG]]<br>
This will contain the gas mixture of the fusion gases and the moderator gases

[[File:HFR i parameters.PNG]]<br>
Those are the main parameters of the fusion reactor<br>
-Power level goes from 0 to 600, from it depends the amount of power consumption (from 50 KW at PW 0 to 350 KW (it will be higher in the future)), the volume of the noise the machine makes, the damage the machine will take, the ability to turn off the machine safely (at high power level you can’t), fuel consumption, various other gas reaction/interactions.<br>
-Integrity indicates the integrity of the magnetic containment field inside the machine, if it reaches 0 the machine will explode, is controlled by how many moles of gas are inside the fusion gasmix and their temperature and by other factors.<br>
-Iron content is the amount of iron being produced inside the reactor, at high amounts will actively lower the integrity by damaging the fields, can be lowered by lowering the fusion temperature.<br>
-Energy levels depends on the amount of moles inside, the kind of gas inside and the moderators too will have different impact.<br>
-Heat limiter modifier will change depending on the power level, will limit the amount of heat the fusion can increase/decrease each tick (hotter gases are easier to heat up/cool down)<br>
-Heat output is the main parameter affecting the temperature of the fusion reaction, is limited by the Heat limiter modifier and is affected by many other factors.<br>

[[File:HFR i temperatures.PNG]]<br>
Those will show the gases temperature in real time<br>
The flow of heat is Fusion > Moderator > coolant <br>
(output gas will have either moderator or fusion temperature depending on the source)<br>
If you don’t add a moderator the heat will go directly from the fusion to the coolant, but is much more inefficient.<br>

[[File:HFR i inputs.PNG]]<br>
Those are inputs that the user can change<br>
-Heating Conductor will change the Heat limiter modifier, higher numbers means higher heat transfer. The Heat limiter modifier will affect the Heat Output by increasing/decreasing the maximum range possible; keep it at 100 for normal operations.<br>
-Magnetic Constrictor will actively change the volume inside the fusion reactor, this affect instability and power output. Increasing the number will increase the volume available to the fusion gases, allows higher instability fluctuations and increases the influence of every gas inside the machine (positive and negative influences). Keep at 100 for normal operations.<br>
-Fuel and moderator injection rate will change how much gas will enter the machine this affect consumption, and other gas related interactions<br>
-Current Damper, life saver, will actively increase the instability of the fusion reaction making the reaction endothermic, that can set the heat output to negative cooling down the fusion mix, useful in meltdown situations. Counteracted by iron content.<br>
-Waste remove will start to output helium/antinoblium at a fixed rate from the fusion mix and the gas you set to filter from the moderator mix allowing the user to filter out specific gases from the moderators

And now let's learn what each gases will do inside the machine
<br>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see the HFR gas interaction section. 
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
First thing to learn is the fuel: only a mixture of Tritium and Hydrogen will enter the fuel input port, no other gases will go inside (at least for now)

The moderator gases are special gases that have a double function, first they allow proper cooling for the core, second they have interactions with the functioning of the fusion reaction itself, those interactions are:<br>
-for the fusion gasmix:<br>
--Hydrogen = increase the energy of the system and increase the heat modifier<br>
--Tritium = increase the energy of the system and increase the power modifier<br>
--Helium = decrease the energy of the system, increase the heat modifier and increase the radiation modifier<br>
-for the moderator gasmix:<br>
--Nitrogen = increase the energy of the system, decrease the heat modifier and decrease the radiation modifier<br>
--CO2 = increase the energy of the system and increase the power modifier<br>
--N2O = increase the energy of the system and decrease the heat modifier<br>
--Zauker = increase the energy of the system and increase the power modifier<br>
--Antinoblium = vastly increase the energy of the system and vastly increase the radiation modifier<br>
--Hypernoblium = vastly decrease the energy of the system<br>
--H2O = decrease the energy of the system<br>
--NO2 = decrease the energy of the system and increase the power of the system<br>
--Healium = decrease the energy of the system<br>
--Freon = decrease the energy of the system, decrease the power modifier, decrease the heat modifier and decrease the radiation modifier<br>
--Oxygen = decrease the power modifier<br>
--Plasma = increase the power modifier, increase the heat modifier and increase the radiation modifier<br>
