Nuclear Power

Gives uranium a purpose: a high-output fission reactor with real operating dynamics. 0. 3. 2 - Fuel cycle change: uranium ore now smelts into a new Uranium Ingot (Arc Furnace, or Furnace above 1405K), and the ingots print the fuel rods. This replaces the centrifuge-refining route, which never worked - printers only accept ingots. Thanks to everyone who reported it. The Centrifuge keeps its real job: reprocessing spent fuel rods. 0. 3. 1 - Fixed for the latest game update (the one that added the Cable Gun): the update broke the mod's prefab injection, so the reactor was missing entirely. Also fixed a bug where cables could not be placed next to the reactor's power port ("blocked by Fission Reactor"). If you had trouble connecting power, update and rebuild the reactor. Note: a freshly placed reactor kit currently looks like the finished machine but still needs its construction stages completed (check the tooltip for the tool) - the fuel rod slot and on/off lever only appear once fully built. A proper construction-stage look is coming. WORK IN PROGRESS - balance numbers are moving targets, expect updates. Requires This is a plugin (code) mod: install BepInEx with the StationeersLaunchPad plugin first (see https://github.com/StationeersLaunchPad/StationeersLaunchPad ). In multiplayer, the server and every player need this mod installed. Features Fission Reactor (kit builds on the Hydraulic Pipe Bender): fuel rod slot, coolant loop in/out (gas or liquid pipes - you will want liquid), power out. Up to 100 kW from a single rod - heavy cable territory. Real reactor feel: the control rods chase your Setting and the reaction chases the rods. Big changes take minutes to settle, cutting the throttle mid-climb does not instantly reverse the trend, and shutdown decay heat can still melt an uncooled core. No built-in safety. Read Temperature (core kelvin) or Stress via logic and write your own SCRAM in IC10. Or do not, and find out. Meltdowns are catastrophic. Manage your coolant. Fue
