 === Gas Loops ===
-There are two gas loops in the engine, the cold loop and the hot loop. By mixing in the generator, the temperature of the gasses are equalized somewhat, so the hotter gas should be reheated, and the cooler gas should be cooled. This is where the supermatter comes in. The cold loop flows from red pipe, to generators, to the green pipe, then out to radiators in space to cool back down. The hot loop flows from yellow pipe, to blue pipe, then into the supermatter chamber to be reheated. The supermatter, when excited, produces a large amount of heat, and will probably burn some of the plasma in the hot loop. In order to remove the products of this combustion, everything except plasma is filtered from the hot loop.

 Oxygen in the hot loop is a very bad idea - it leads to fires, which can rapidly raise the core temperature to dangerous levels.

+The Shield Generator is an extremely high-power piece of equipment that, during normal operation, generates a significant amount of heat. You will need to set up the cooler just outside the shield generator room to manage that heat and prevent the shields from overheating. You may also wish to assemble a second cooler to assist with this, band a machine frame has been provided, but this is not strictly necessary.
 When the "internal temperature" of the shield generator reaches certain thresholds, the following warnings will occur, visible in the shield management menu:
 * '''>10 degrees (Celsius)''' - Temperature no longer plays a factor in upkeep power usage. Below this, upkeep power usage scales based on the room temperature, at a maximum of 4× upkeep power occurring at about -202.4 degrees (70.8 Kelvin)

 When an emergency shutdown occurs, the shield generator sets the input cap to 1 kW to prevent a condition where the generator enters an unrecoverable overheat loop.
-To prevent this, set the coolers to 0 degrees and the power to "5" (maximum) This will ensure that the coolers run continuously, though it will create a significant power draw, so be sure the grid can handle it.
