Nuclear Science
Adds nuclear science as Nauvis's science pack.
When starting the game elsewhere, with Any Planet Start, Nauvis feels out of place as there is little reason to go there for game progression. This mod makes Nauvis more like the other planets, providing its own science pack that is required to get to Aquilo and beyond, technology progression analagous to the other planets and its own special building, the Atom forge.
Technologies
 |
Uranium mining |
|---|---|
| Trigger | crafting  sulfuric acid |
| Requires | Electric mining drill, Sulfur processing |
| Effects | Mining with fluids |
 |
Uranium processing |
|---|---|
| Trigger | mining  uranium ore |
| Requires | Concrete, Uranium mining |
| Unlocks |  Centrifuge  Uranium processing |
 |

|---|---|
| Trigger | crafting  uranium-235 |
| Requires | Uranium processing |
| Unlocks |  Nuclear science pack |
 |
Atom forge |
|---|---|
| Cost | 45 s    × 500 |
| Requires | Nuclear science pack, Processing unit |
| Unlocks |  Atom forge |
These technologies are altered to require nuclear science packs to research:
 |
Technology | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 |
Atomic bomb | Costs  production science pack instead of  space science pack |
 |
Biolab | |
 |
Captive biter spawner | |
 |
Kovarex enrichment process | See below |
 |
Legendary quality | |
 |
Nuclear fuel reprocessing | |
 |
Nuclear power | |
 |
Physical projectile damage 7–∞ | |
 |
Planet discovery Aquilo | |
 |
Portable fission reactor | |
 |
Portable fusion reactor | |
 |
Promethium science pack | |
 |
Railgun shooting speed 1–∞ | |
 |
Research productivity | |
 |
Spidertron | |
 |
Uranium ammo |
Kovarex enrichment process, by default, costs 50 nuclear science packs plus 1000 of each automation science pack, logistic science pack, chemical science pack and production science pack.
A setting is provided to instead make it a trigger technology, requiring crafting 40 uranium-235.
Buildings
Centrifuge
The centrifuge has a crafting speed of 1.5.
These recipes can now be crafted in a centrifuge, in addition to an 
assembling machine or by a 
player:
atomic bomb
explosive uranium cannon shell
portable fission reactor
portable fusion reactor
uranium cannon shell
uranium fuel cell
uranium rounds magazine
Atom forge
The atom forge is a 6 × 6 tile building with crafting speed 2, 4 module slots and 50% base productivity. It may only be crafted on Nauvis. It can craft all the recipes a centrifuge can, and:
- atom forge
- centrifuge
- automation science pack
- logistic science pack
military science pack- chemical science pack
- production science pack
utility science pack
Recipes
Nuclear science pack
20 s + 1
water barrel + 10
concrete → 2
barrel
The barrel product is unaffected by productivity.
May only be crafted on Nauvis.
Atom forge
12 s + 1
steel plate + 30
processing unit + 20
refined concrete → 1
May only be crafted on Nauvis.
Other recipes
All recipes that can be crafted by a centrifuge have double the vanilla crafting time.
Compatibility
Any Planet Start
This mod is designed to be used with Any Planet Start, though it can be used stand alone.
When starting off Nauvis, Uranium mining requires Planet discovery Nauvis and Uranium processing doesn't require Concrete.
Plutonium Energy
Plutonium technologies require nuclear science packs to research. Recipes involving plutonium can be made in a centrifuge centrifuge or atom forge.
An alternative nuclear science pack recipe is also available:
20 s + 1
plutonium-239 + 20
