Modular Nuclear Reactor


Adds new version of nuclear reactor that combines reactor, heat exchangers and generator in a single unit. Directly produces electricity, needs no water and consumes nuclear fuel on demand. Tradeoff for such convenience is the lack of neighbour bonus and smaller power output comparing to original reactor. Ideal for space platforms, backup power supply systems and remote outposts as an efficient, zero-pollution and compact baseline power source. Power output can be adjusted in settings.

Modular Nuclear Reactor

Adds new version of nuclear reactor that combines reactor, heat exchangers and generator in a single unit. Directly produces electricity, needs no water and consumes nuclear fuel on demand. Tradeoff for such convenience is the lack of neighbour bonus and smaller power output comparing to original reactor. Ideal for space platforms, backup power supply systems and remote outposts as an efficient, zero-pollution and compact baseline power source. Power output can be adjusted in settings.

Took "Small modular nuclear reactor" from Fulgora Extended mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/fulgora-extended) and made it standalone.

New technologies

  • Modular nuclear reactor, unlocks after:
    • Electromagnetic science pack;
    • Portable fission reactor;

New entities

  • Modular nuclear reactor:
    • Consumes Uranium fuel cells on demand (like boiler);
    • Emits no pollution;
    • Needs no water;
    • Needs no heat exchangers;
    • Produces electricity instead of heat;
    • Has 25 MW max power output (configurable through settings);
    • Does not explode on death;
    • Has no neighbour bonus;

Existing saves

  • Mod does not change vanilla entity or item properties. It is safe to be added to an existing save.

Compatibility

  • Works well with Quality mod;
