Changelog

Version: 1.2.7
Date: 16.02.2025
  Major features/bugfix:
    - Portable fission reactors no longer consume fuel in the equipment grid, due to there being no way to remotely insert fuel into the reactors of a vehicle
Version: 1.2.6
Date: 05.02.2025
  Bugfix:
    - Fixed space science research trigger (again)
Version: 1.2.5
Date: 02.02.2025
  Bugfix:
    - Removed the fast_replaceable_group for the portable fission reactor
Version: 1.2.4
Date: 02.02.2025
  Bugfix:
    - Fixed space science research trigger
Version: 1.2.3
Date: 20.01.2025
  Bugfix:
    - Reactor heat pipes visual glitch fixed
Version: 1.2.2
Date: 20.01.2025
  Major features:
    - Portable fission reactors produce heat when placed as buildings
    - Uranium enrichment recipe was renamed internally, existing save files will need the recipe reapplied to centrifuges
  Balancing:
    - Portable fission reactor building energy consumption/heat output increased to 1.5MW, neighbouring bonus of 100%
    - Fuel rod stack size and rocket capacity increased
Version: 1.2.1
Date: 19.01.2025
  Minor features:
    - Reactor glow changes according to the fuel assembly type used
Version: 1.2.0
Date: 19.01.2025
  Major features:
    - New fuel rod intermediate items
  Minor features:
    - Removed enriched uranium item
    - Uranium renamed to natural uranium dioxide
    - New sprite for natural uranium dioxide and depleted uranium
  Balancing:
    - Uranium to depleted uranium conversion now has 1x carbon as additional ingredient
    - Uranium hexafluoride production now has 20x water as additional ingredient
    - Depleted uranium from hexafluoride now has 200x steam as additional ingredient
    - Weapons-grade uranium now has 5x lithium brine as additional ingredient
    - Mixed oxide separation now has 10x carbon as additional ingredient
Version: 1.1.4
Date: 18.01.2025
  Minor features:
    - Only Gleba compatibility
Version: 1.1.3
Date: 18.01.2025
  Minor features:
    - Some improved icons
  Balancing:
    - MOX separation recipe has been scaled up to give one full plutonium instead of using probabilities
Version: 1.1.2
Date: 17.01.2025
  Balancing:
    - Space science pack technology requires a radioactive raffinate barrel being sent to space, not nuclear waste
    - Uranium ammo technology prerequisites have been changed to uranium mining, utility science pack and tank
    - Mixed oxide reprocessing technology no longer has uranium ammo as prerequisite
Version: 1.1.1
Date: 17.01.2025
  Bugfix:
    - Added a subgroup to the MOX separation recipe
Version: 1.1.0
Date: 17.01.2025
  Major features:
    - Added radioactive raffinate fluid
    - New nuclear waste processing chain
  Balancing:
    - New space science recipe (1x Radioactive raffinate barrel + 10x water)
    - New nuclear waste processing recipe producing mixed oxide and radioactive raffinate
    - Plutonium recipe has been replaced by a MOX separation recipe producing plutonium, depleted uranium and radioactive raffinate
    - MOX fuel requires less plutonium and mixed oxide
    - Nuclear fuel reprocessing is now faster and requires less sulfuric acid
  Minor features:
    - A few improved recipe icons
