Laurie Kirkcaldy overhauled RBMK reactor mechanics and updated the operator UI for Tsar-Salat/BeeStation-Salatland, rebalancing power generation, cooling, and control rod effectiveness while refining fuel and moderator interactions to reduce meltdown risk. Using DM and JavaScript, Laurie improved temperature dynamics and safety parameters, enhancing system reliability and operator awareness through clearer UI displays. On BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet, Laurie fixed Nuclear Bomb explosion logic to ensure correct z-level gibbing and multi-z station support, simplifying backend code by removing unnecessary callbacks. The work demonstrated depth in backend and game development, focusing on maintainability, gameplay accuracy, and robust multiplayer mechanics across complex simulation environments.
