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.

g [RESOLVED] Calling it modular doesn't make sense?

Default nuclear power setup is modular already because you can design it in many different ways. This thing is a single pre-packaged unit that does a specific thing at a specific rate. If anything, wouldn't it make more sense to call it Monolithic?

Naming appeals to original SMR'r IRL. These reactors are constructed from pre-built modules on-site. In this case it's named modular because it literally can be assembled from pre-built reactor, heat exchangers, heat pipes and steam turbine (independent modules) into one device and it's parameters are similar to real SMR's - has small power output, takes significantly less place to build, can be installed everywhere.

Another reason for such naming is that it's just easier to find this mod during search if it has "modul" in its name. Many times I encountered really good mods that were named like crap and had low downloads because of it.

Trust me, it makes sense :)

I see.
