Integrated Reactor Plating

[likegames]

I have a question about what it does. Apparantly it makes a reactor 'stand more heat', but all that happens when I use it is that it turns my Mark I into a Mark III with coolant cells melting. Why is this? It seems to happen when I have an integrated reactor plating touching an integrated heat disperser and coolant cell.

it was my understanding that what they do is increase the hull heat rating of the whole reactor. Not really adding any cooling, just raising the meltdown temperature.

They increase the reactor hull durability by 100, can itself store 10,000 and redistribute heat evenly between adjoining water cells. All in all, most people craft integrated reactor plating in order to turn it into an integrated heat disperser, which is much more useful.
