A small and simple mod which adds uranium-238 to the utility science pack recipe, while making it require only 2 rather than 3 low density structure.

The goal is to make Nauvis more essential for science production, and to further encourage players to keep science production on Nauvis, rather than exploit one of the other planets. Given the massive surplus most factories have of uranium-238, giving the player something more to use it on is also valuable. It's weight makes exporting it to other planets non-economical. Thus utility science, with it's complex production requirements, will likely never move offworld.

This gives Nauvis a 'home science' just like all the other planets, meaning that if you want to research elsewhere, you will be shipping utility science to other planets just as you would need to ship some other science to Nauvis.
