Zar's Nuclear Tweaks


This mod offers many options to tweak mechanics related to Nuclear Power. Several of them are useful for simply reducing the enormous waiting times involved in the setup of nuclear energy.


Configurable options:

  • Uranium Processing U-235 Chance: Change the probability of getting U-235 from Uranium Processing (range: 0-1).
  • Kovarex U-235 Catalyst Amount: Change the minimum required amount of U-235 for the Kovarex Enrichment Process to run (range: 1-40).
  • Uranium Fuel Cell Burn Value (GJ): Change the amount of energy contained in the Uranium Fuel Cell item, measured in gigajoules.
  • Nuclear Fuel Burn Value (GJ): Change the amount of energy contained in the Nuclear Fuel item, measured in gigajoules.
  • Nuclear Fuel Stack Size: Change the stack size of Nuclear Fuel for all inventories (range: 1-20).
  • Recover Iron From Nuclear Recycling: Recover some or all of the Iron Plates that went into producing the Uranium Fuel Cells when reprocessing their spent result.

Other options:

  • Simple Uranium Mining: Move the need for Sulfuric Acid from the Mining Drill to a new Yellow Cake recipe in an Assembler Mk2+ (see image).
  • Non-Greedy Kovarex: Make the Centrifuge take only the ingredients for the Kovarex Enrichment Process needed for the next production cycle.
  • Lossless Nuclear Reactor: Prevent the Nuclear Reactor from wasting any fuel when the maximum temperature has been reached.
  • Oil-free Nuclear Fuel: Remove Rocket Fuel from the recipe for Nuclear Fuel, along with the relevant tech prerequisite.
  • Reduce Kovarex Research Cost: Reduce the cost of researching the Kovarex Enrichment Process technology by one-third.
