Mod inspired by https://mods.factorio.com/mod/atan-nuclear-science
I think atom forge is unnecessary and it would be much better to buff centrifuge instead
Changes other than the science pack
Centrifuge
- Increased rocket capacity (1 -> 5)
- +50% built-in productivity bonus
- 4 module slots
- Can craft uranium-related recipes (ammo, fuel cells, portable reactors, etc.)
Nuclear Assembling Machine (optional, configurable in settings)
- Crafting speed: 1.5
- 6 module slots
- Powered by nuclear fuel cells
- Can be enabled or disabled via startup settings
Portable Fission Reactor (optional, configurable in settings)
- Requires nuclear fuel cells to operate
- Power output doubled
- Can be enabled or disabled via startup settings
Kovarex Enrichment
- Renamed to Nuclear Science Pack
- Converted to trigger-based research
- Requires crafting 50× Uranium-235 to unlock
Spidertron can be powered by fuel cells (including other mods)(can be disabled in settings):
- Vanilla Nuclear Fuel Cells
- Cerys Mixed Oxide Fuel Cells
- Maraxsis MSR Fuel Cells
Cerys compatibility
When Cerys is installed, the mod adjusts technology progression to integrate Nuclear Science Pack with Cerys content:
- Adds Nuclear Science Pack and Kovarex Enrichment as requirements for Cerys nuclear/radioactivity technologies
- Fixes and enforces logical tech prerequisites between nuclear, mixed-oxide, and fusion technologies to prevent progression skips
- Optionally locks vanilla uranium and Kovarex technologies behind Cerys progression (startup setting)(can be disabled)
- Optionally makes Mixed Oxide Reactor Equipment refillable and fuel-based, with increased power output (startup setting)(can be disabled)
Maraxsis compatibility
When Maraxsis is installed, the mod adds direct integration with its nuclear systems:
- Maraxsis MSR fuel cells can be used in the Nuclear Assembling Machine
With both Cerys and Maraxsis installed:
- Maraxsis nuclear submarine can now use Cerys Mixed Oxide fuel cells
- Research order is enforced so that MSR Reactor must be researched before Mixed Oxide Reactor (can be disabled in settings)
