Lastly, their inexpensive nature means that even though you're likely to ditch them as soon as you can afford better generators.generators, you can easily fall back if it doesn't work out. Their one downside? They're too weak to matter much once you reach late-game, as much of the space they could fulfill is usually spent on batteries.
Added DiffLines:
** Since batteries and wind turbines don't actually follow the heat mechanics at all (they do not blow up when exposed to heat), they make excellent filler if you have some extra space near a generator, and can't stick anything else nearby.

''Reactor Idle'' is an IdleGame about managing power plants, created by the same developer who made ''VideoGame/FactoryIdle''. You set up power plants and sell the power they generate - and use the funds they generate to unlock more content.
The game can be played [[http://reactoridle.com here]].
---
!!This game provides examples of the following tropes:
* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** Unlike with ''Factory Idle'', the reactors you can buy will expire after a limited number of ticks; however, you can research managers that will automatically replace them, and you can also purchase upgrades that increase their lifespan.
** The player has a limited power supply that, at first, they must manually sell. However, they can research batteries and offices that will respectively increase the size of said power supply and automatically sell off some of the power.
** Any building that isn't a generator won't expire after a certain number of ticks.
** Although reactors don't give a refund if sold, all other buildings do.
** If you place multiple generators directly in contact with 1 reactor, the heat produced by said reactor will be spread out among said generators, meaning that you don't have to wait until you've upgraded the heat conversion rate for a generator before you can start using a new reactor.
* AntiPoopSocking: Much like ''Factory Idle'', quitting the game entirely will reward you with "bonus ticks" which can be used to fast-forward when you return.
* BribingYourWayToVictory: You can purchase additional ticks like in ''Factory Idle''.
* DisasterDominoes: With the exception of Wind Turbines, all reactors produce heat which needs to be converted into power by generators, otherwise the reactors will explode. However, each generator has a limit to how much heat it can covert per tick, meaning if you place a generator right next to a reactor whose heat projection exceeds the generator's conversion rate, it'll cause the generator to explode after hitting the heat limit, and immediately afterwards, the reactor will follow suite.
** If you upgrade a reactor's heat output so that it exceeds the generator's conversion rate, a similar situation occurs.
* GreenAesop: Averted - the two most eco-friendly reactors (wind turbines and solar cells) are the earliest reactors the player will use, and will likely be ditched in favor of fossil fuel burners as soon as possible.
* ILoveNuclearPower: Nuclear reactors are unlockable once you've researched the right tech, and once you've raised enough funds to use them (and upgrade the heat conversion rate for your generators), they'll generate far more power than gas burners ever could.
