Why can't I use my reactor terminal in space engineers?
I am looking right at my reactor terminal in survival mode however when I press K it opens up my inventory and I cant put uranium in the reactor (I am using a small reactor on a small ship). My friend has the same problem but it works fine on a large ship.
Best Answer
The small reactor has only one opening which can be used to access its inventory. At first glance the side with the opening can be mistaken for a base it is supposed to stand on. Make sure you build your reactor oriented in a way that the side with the opening is accessible (or connected to a conveyor system powered by an already running generator and connected to a storage container containing uranium ingots).

How do you use a reactor in space engineers?
In order to use the reactor, the player must first acquire the needed fuel. First Uranium Ore must be mined and then processed with the Refinery into Uranium Ingots. These ingots is what powers both the small and large reactors. Power consumption is based on the amount of output the reactor is generating.How much uranium do I need space engineers?
Fuel ConsumptionIn Creative mode, no Uranium is required to generate power; however in Survival Mode, the Large Reactor consumes Uranium ingots. One Uranium ingot (1 kg) at full power usage (300MW) last 12 seconds.Liz Phair - Why Can't I? (Official Video)

Make sure hints are turned on and then mouse over the yellow port, which is on one of the sides. It should give a hint on how to open it. If it doesn't, your pointer is in the wrong place, or it's not a reactor.
