Nuclear Reactor
Introducing the Nuclear Reactor Mod!
A HUGE mod that adds a whole new reason to dive deeper into the world. Venture below the Magma Caves to find this energy rich substance. Work out the automation system and you will have yourself a major energy source.
The mod adds the following:
Nuclear Reactor multiblock, may look like the lab, but has been completely recoded.
Centrifuge Multiblock, looks like the Blast Furnace, but those spinning things will tell you if its operational.
Uranium Trencher Head and Motor multiblocks, yep, these beasts will only dig Uranium and require twice the power as the ‘others’ you can build.
Composite Alloy Smelter, smelt Chromium and Molybdenum together to get this super-strong crafting material.
Empty Fuel Rod Crafter, does just what it says, takes Composite alloy and bends them to your will.
Yellowcake Processor, this uses Chlorine and a LOT of uranium ore to produce a material that can be then refined further.
Primed Fuel Rod Crafter, combine the output of the Centrifuge with an empty fuel rod and you have yourself 60 seconds of RAW power.
Also adds a Uranium Ore Ping, yes, a new ore ping of your very own!

The balance of all the machines is fairly straight-forward, if you want to learn for yourself, then I suggest you go try the mod, then come back if you have any problems.
For each reactor you want operating at 100% you will need one full trencher system, 4 centrifuges, 8 yellowcake processors, 32 chlorine filters (using 4 compressors, etc) and 4 freezon filters (with compressor, etc).
You see, the reactor can pump out the power at a rate of 50,000 power per second, but it generates a LOT of heat, so it must be cooled using Freezon. The best part, you can build the reactor anywhere, there are no height or location restrictions. If you fail to keep it cooled, first the power generation doubles to 100k pps, but it starts to overheat, and if left unchecked, will explode.
Due to the use of advanced materials the mod has to depend on the Frozen Factory DLC to function. Yet another reason to get that DLC and show your support for the game!

With the sheer amount of work that went into this mod, I am putting a donation button here. Do not feel obligated, just in case you want me to keep making mods like this or generally want to support me.
