Nice! Hearing that the reactor isn't going to be continued is good as I have only played with it on as that seemed to be the 'original' way to play but I have enjoyed the game play more without it, and boy the unlock system and menu's are all over the place. That's every one except the energy transfer, doesn't take my monkey brain long to understand that.
I'd like to explore the reactor concept but as the main gameplay mechanic. But this may happen as a prototype, after Tea For God.
It's quite possible that all the menus will be gone and if required, replaced by in-world solutions. I liked the menus as it reminded me a bit of some quite old games (like Magnetron) but the more I play TFG, the more I realise that they just break the pace and immersion.
