Nuclear Satellites


Alters the recipe of Satellites to require a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, created from Uranium Fuel Cells. Intended to make the 0.15 nuclear content feel more integrated into the main game.

The uranium processing tree is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting parts of Factorio. It's a shame that it's relegated to side-content. This mod tweaks the recipe of the Satellite to incorporate Uranium, so that those patches you keep finding actually end up being important. The material costs of the RTG have been subtracted from those of the Satellite, so overall resource consumption is exactly the same apart from the added Uranium.

Also vaguely realistic! Their compactness and long life make Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators a popular choice in rovers, satellites and submarines.
