Welcome to the page for the Horizon's fusion reactor, the INDRA! It replaced the old Tesla reactor for a variety of reasons, and comes with some neat features. Many engineers have been reprimanded for violent debate over what INDRA stands for. Some say it itself stands for INDRA, others say it stands for INDependent Reactor, Aneutronic, and others have their own name. If you're familiar with the Baystation implementation of the RUST, much if not all of the INDRA should be immediately familiar to you. Feel free to jump ahead to the startup procedure section.

Component Parts

The INDRA has 3 different types of machine making up the actual reactor part of the reactor equipment. Those are as follows:

• The fusion core itself. This should be pretty hard to miss, as it's the giant tower in the middle that spits out a colored magnetic field when it's online.
• The gyrotron. This both increases the temperature of the fusion core (to a degree) and stabilizes it once a reaction gets going.
• The fuel injectors. There are six of these on either side of the fusion core. They are loaded with "fuel" rods and when activated launch particles of the inserted fuel rod in to the magnetic field of the fusion core.

Now, you can't just go flipping a switch on all of these things to get them going. The control room comes with three different terminals that all control one of the above machines (or set of machines, in the case of the injectors).

• The fusion core control terminal controls the magnetic field strength (aka the size), allows you to turn the reactor on or off, and lists the fuel particles inside the magnetic field.
• The gyrotron control terminal lets you turn the gyrotron on or off or adjust the firing speed and strength of the beam.
• The fuel injector control terminal allows you to turn on or off specific injectors, turn on or off all injectors, and adjust how much fuel is inserted by an injector per shot in percentage form."

Finally, the room should start with two crates, one full of deuterium and one full of tritium for some fuel rods suitable for day-to-day operations.

Reactions

There are a few different reactions known.
