  @MAS2015 thanks! only I think that your construction is a bit too big. After all, photons can be separated in one such rod, not six, can't it? however, your save is really impressive. I still can not properly learn how to build the simplest reactor, and here it is :/

  @MrHush: This save is a didactic demonstration, to understand how the N.I.F. real, and like the real, it is still not used to produce commercially usable energy. But it is possible to create a smaller and less detailed model to take advantage of the generated energy.

  I got the reaction inside the chamber. but what do i do with it next? there is no high temperature and electricity output, what do i need this giant thing burning hydrogen inside of itself for?

  pretty N.I.F.ty fusion reactor

  @tessarion: I tested the mirrors and they are working normally.

  The left-most mirrors in the target chamber aren't working currently, fyi

  It is a model that works similarly to the real thing. To start, click on the buttons (on/off), starting with the first on the left, to turn on the lasers (L); activate pulse control [0>>>X], and the main amplifier output; activate the buttons (S), (P) and (H) and finally the pulse control [0>>>X] and power amplifier output.

  Push buttons, see what happens. Dummyproof, yet complicated.
