My first experience: Why is all of the water rising instead of falling? ... Oh, wait, I put a giant block of uranium in the middle of the screen 20 minutes ago and the environment is 150 C because of radioactivity. It's instantly vaporizing. ... I kind of love this game.

I love sandbox games like this. :-) And adding radioactivity, electricity, and handling heat and temperature more realistically is a nice addition that most such games are missing. I was, however, somewhat sad that my attempts to induce criticality didn't work. And I'm also sad that I couldn't get the plutonium to melt, thereby creating a self-sustaining (because the melted bits would replace the decayed bits) RTG that would endlessly raise the temperature to astronomical (literally) levels.
