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
Space Age optional
Mod started as nauvis science pack but grown beyond just that overtime.
It can still function as planetary science pack for Any Planet Start game, but It can also be used as regular science pack
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)
