Can anyone point me to an existing modding guide (google search was unhelpful...), or perhaps let me know some basic information such as how the game parses files?
What determines if a material is available as, for instance, a coolant, or a reactor fuel?
EDIT: Is there an error log somewhere?
Further Updates:
So far, I've determined that it's material qualities that determine if a material appears in a given list. For instance, only materials with a non-zero resistance value appear as a potential coil material. (Must be a divide by zero when using superconducting solenoids...)
Not sure what's needed for coolants. I tried adding viscosity to aluminum but that doesn't seem to be sufficient to add it to the coolant list. As a side-note, making a vaporized-gold NTR would be interesting. I'll be sure to add gold as a coolant. Ooooh! Maybe blood! That's both nanostructured and organic in origin!
I think it may be easier to outright add materials than it is to add qualities to existing materials. hmmm.
Ok, I can definitely make a set of new materials. Not sure I can do so elegantly; that is to say, I might need to make Molten Aluminum a separate material from Aluminum. For my notes, I intend to add:
Polystyrene, ice, silicate rock, wood, long woven carbon nanotube material, a recently-developed new thermocouple material (need to find the article on that again), bone, and concrete. I will also add as coolants: alchohol, liquid metals, coffee, blood, metastable metallic hydrogen in suspension.
I'm also looking into extremely high-temperature nuclear fuels, but I'm not seeing anything better than what we already have. Uranium carbide only goes up to ~2,600K...
