Tried to improve the part about custom boilers a bit, might provide image later. |

Solar power is incredibly easy to set up. Just connect [[SolarPanel|SolarPanels]] (which have direct view of the [[Star|sun]] and are either around a [[star]] or in a [[Planets|planet]] where it's day) to [[PowerCell|PowerCells]].

If you want the reactor to be refueled automatically, among other things, consider checking the [[Automatic Reactor]] article. If you want an example of a finished reactor set-up instead (note this one has some extra features), you can get the Roblox model file [https://www.roblox.com/library/10583828499/Reactor here], then compile and load it in game. |

If you are on a planet that does not have [[uranium]] readily available, you can instead make what's known as a custom boiler or a custom reactor. The idea is simple. [[Extractor|Extractors]] mine [[ice]], [[ZapWire|ZapWires]] melt [[ice]] into [[steam]], [[steam]] floats up, [[Container|Containers]] collect steam. Do you see where I'm going with this? No? Well, here's how to make one. |

# The first step is to set up [[ice]] extraction. Ice is part of the stone extra-drops loot table (Mountains), it can also be found on planet rings, as they are either made of stone or ice. Next, install a [[Extractor]], configure it to extract "Ice", and slap it on the previously mentioned mountain. Now you have some [[ice]]! |

# After that, you'll need to grab everything else you need. That's a [[Dispenser]], a [[ZapWire]], a SteamTurbine, a [[Container]], a [[Bin]], and some building materials (preferably [[glass]]). |

||
# Then, assemble the custom boiler. Construct a chamber with a ZapWire as the floor, a Dispenser in one the walls connected to a Bin of Ice, and put a Container as the roof which will pick up the Steam, finally, connect the SteamTurbine to the Container and activate the Dispenser. <!-- I might provide a example image --> |

# Then, assemble the custom boiler. I'm not good at explaining things, so here's a poorly drawn diagram. Actually nevermind, I'm not signed in. Sorry |
