Plutonium Energy


Adds processing of Plutonium, which is created from nuclear fission of Uranium. It can be used to extract even more energy or incinerate enemies with new ammunition.

g Cerys compatibility

Any chance to integrate it with the Cerys (moon) mod's plutonium?

I'll check out the mod, it may come.

I've checked out Cerys's tech tree and recipes, as well as read their FAR about Plutonium Energy. Quoting myself from the discussion with the dev:

Honestly I don't even know what to make compatibility for, I just see a subset of Plutonium Energy that is also more polished.
I was impressed by the centrifuge having fluid i/o, didn't expect it to look that well.
Breeder reactors being an emergent mechanic is fascinating as well.

So, since you are asking about a compatibility, I want to know what you think this compatibility would look like, because I don't really have ideas that seem good. Any ideas would help this come to life.

To elaborate a bit:
1. Getting plutonium with Cerys is its own mechanic (that I am yet to discover, haven't played the mod myself, just a little sandbox looking), in PE it's collected from depleted nuclear fuel.
2. Nuclear breeding is an emergent mechanic in Cerys, as opposed to being a separate nuclear 'branch" in Plutonium Energy
3. Nuclear weapons are slightly different, Cerys has both an atomic rocket (hydrogen bomb) and an artillery (neutron bomb).
4. Nuclear waste reprocessing in Cerys is done without the weird barrel carousel, as they did actually make centrifuge have fluid I/O and it looks good

So other than 1 are just more elegant and simple executions of the same ideas. I might be harsh on myself and my work, but I don't understand what people want from PE+Cerys.

For me just being able to run the mods together would be enough. I think I ran into some issue with that when I originally made this post - it's been a long time and I'm forgetful :)

As far as I can see the things that need to be reconciled:
- mox reactor, maybe rename yours to "small reactor" or something.
- mox fuel, as the two ideas you have for them are radically different. One of them ins extremely powerful, while the other one is meant to be "recycled waste.
- portable reactor

You are already sharing the same plutonium items.

On this side plutonium is a weak trash byproduct, on cerys's side it's something meant to be treasured.
