About the GameATTENTION! We are leaving Beta and Early Access behind, for that reason the currently released game will not be updated with fixes or improvements.
Simulator of Nuclear Reactor, operable by a single person with the help of a Assistant with AI. The reactor is located on an island, secluded from any city. The only way is through the transport company Nucleares built to carry and bring the reactor operator.
You have the reactor at your complete disposal, and the Reactor Assistant, a robot with an Artificial Intelligence made for times of crisis. The world is not ruined, but cities consume more and more energy, so your daily goals will be increasingly difficult to meet if you do not learn to control the core and all systems for generating energy.
Reactor Modules
– Core Room
– Refrigeration Room
– Turbine Hall
– Radioactive Waste Deposit
– Fuel Deposit
– Internal Supply Room
– Cooling Towers
– Primary Control Room
– Secondary Control Room
You will have to learn to operate the Reactor, with the help of the Operational Assistant, and to generate enough power to meet daily or eventual objectives. Each objective won will earn you Prestige and Experience Points. As you accumulate experiences, you will level up, and that will allow you to access more complex challenges.
In addition, Prestige Points can be exchanged for services, such as cleaning up radioactive remains, or for the purchase of fuel blocks, or replacement of protective suits.
You can also use them to improve the skills of the Operational Assistant: initially, it can only help you with the ignition protocol, the fuel change protocol and the alarm and situation status reports. But if you improve AO’s abilities, you can ask him to start the reactor, stabilize it, and even answer for you in case of emergencies.
Each room contains the machines, controls, meters and sensors necessary for its complete operation. Also, underground, the connections are real and must be maintained. A short circuit can leave an entire module without supply or control.
The simulator engine has over 200 parameters visible on a combination of lights, displays, and gauges. In addition, the control has more than 150 switches. Neither is decorative.
In an emergency, you will have to flood the reactor core, or you will have to perform maneuvers with the operational crane. In addition, the rest of the rooms have fire fighting systems. In all cases, you must ensure an internal power supply to solve emergencies.

9/10 - Bring back multiplayer one day so I can play with my work friends
I discovered this game when Twitch streamer Tomato was playing it. The guy is brain rot funny. Anyways, I work in the nuclear field and this game gives me the opportunity to be an Operator for fun. Super detailed game with A LOT of potential. I want to surprise my co-workers with it the next time they visit. Enjoying my time so far learning and expanding my little nuke plant. Great job so far! Keep up the hard work!

Good game to play but a Co-Op / Multiplayer mode would be really nice

I turned off hints and skipped the tutorial.
In game one, I set the circulating pump to 25 and the control rods to 90, but nothing happened. I then adjusted the control rods to 70, then 50, and finally 20, still with no response. As I walked around the room, I attempted to insert the core but was denied. I then set the mode to nominal and inserted the core, which triggered an alarm. The panel indicated steam detection, which is necessary to turn the turbine, but then the room turned red, and I died.
I opened the game manual to read a bit.
In game two, I started in nominal mode, inserted the core, and turned on the pressurizer. I waited until the pressure reached 160 before turning it off. I set the circulating pump to 25 and the control rods to 90 and waited. Then, I activated the cooling tower, set it to 50, and adjusted the steam loop to 35. This generated steam, but an alarm indicated the reactor was too hot, so I set the control rods to 98. The steam turbine began to spin up, but another alarm sounded due to no resistors being connected, resulting in a blown resistor.
In games three to eight, I repeatedly blew up the resistor when connecting to the grip. I made enough money to repair it.
In the last game before this review, I got all 3 loop and upgraded all components to the maximum. I'm at level 52 with 38 million. I was hoping for an achievement for it. But it's okay
Now I will learn what iodine, xenon, boric acid and sodium hydroxide do.

26 hours and I've only died once. I'd call that a win.
This is definitely a game for the kind of person who enjoys managing systems. Even when everything is stable there are little tweaks that need to be made, things that need oil, and components that wear out over time.
There are some good scenarios like going into the power plant and getting everything in order and turned on after being shut down for several years or another where the plant is empty and you have to buy everything and get it fired up for the first time.
The dev is active on Discord and is still working on making the game better.
I highly recommend this for anyone who likes fiddling with buttons and knobs just to see what would happen.

I understand that people are upset about the multiplayer not being reintroduced yet, but honestly for a solo dev that actually updates, I think this is worth it. Its a fun, semi complex nuclear reactor sim. While I do hope that eventually the dev does reinstate multiplayer as i will pay for it again just for someone to play, It is a great game as is.

It's a must-try for hardcore simmer who love challenges !!
This game immerses you in the complex world of nuclear reactor management, requiring some understanding of how reactors work to succeed.
While it’s not a 100% realistic representation, Nucleares gives a perfect balance between gameplay and hardcore simulation. It offers enough depth and complexity to satisfy sim enthusiasts without becoming overwhelming, making the experience both thrilling and educational.
