Heat absorbers can remove a fixed amount of heat from all neighboring components.

This means they are more efficient when surrounded by components that need cooling.
However, it does require a constant supply of coolant in the form of ice (or blue/packed ice) in the
[coolant port](@oritech:reactor_absorber_port) above the absorber stack.

The amount of coolant used is fixed, and does not increase with more sides being cooled.

For detailed information on reactor mechanics, see the [nuclear reactor guide]($reactor/introduction).
