gollark: At 85% efficiency my hydrogen-hydrogen reactor only makes 37kRF/t. Accounting for electromagnets, 17kRF/t or so. This is worse than the reactor powering it.
gollark: The power output is, really, very disappointing, though.
gollark: I have an excess of deuterium, though, and nothing to do with it.
gollark: Seems to be the case, according to my testing by moving a wire.
gollark: The power appears to be vanishing into the void. I suspect that the reactor is pushing into cables which aren't connected but are adjacent.
