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.

i Alternate model

While the model doesn't look bad, I think the Atom Forge from Hurricane could be a nice fit as well.

The best way to implement this would be to package the Atom Forge model as a separate mod and mark it as optional and add checks to this mod to swap the current model for the Atom Forge if its present.

This way, the player can choose which model to use.

Tricky thing is that every Hurricane model is already used by other mods in different ways and many times that might be confusing.

I also personally think that Atom Forge model is not appropriate for something that is named "Reactor" and generates electricity. It was made great for something that is used for production, not power generation.

I would rather consider applying Atom Forge model for other nuclear mods of mine in the future.

Let's do this way:

If somebody else also wants to add Atom Forge as an alternative model for Modular nuclear reactor, I'll consider adding it.

On second thought, after checking the file sizes... I think the current model, although simpler, is better.

1.6 mb (this mod) vs. 14.8 mb (atom forge)

I think the current model fit pretty well as it is, I don't think it need to be changed ~
