The challenge of making it efficient is the reason why I bothered with the problem. Question: how did you test it? It's pretty op in my opinion. 3 years ago. It is not exactly no waste, but close enough. Full base overview https://imgur.com/a/3aU4A0TDiscussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/bfuj5x/factorio_016_1k_spm_with_48_and_210_trains_and/ This is a 4-reactor design heavily inspired by VestigialPseudogene's 2-reactor setup here: Highlights: 480 MW sustained power … 1/ There are so many nuclear mods, which can have name and settings changes at any time. 62. Log in. I really like the idea of using water barrels, water supply is something I struggle with a lot (on nuclear) because I have no clue how water pumps interact with each other. Includes dirty bomb, decontamination capsule. Provides different ways to handle the nuclear wastes (e.g., U-238) that are often in excess stockpiles. I am glad it worked, I did intend it to account for new neighbors when you add a new row but I did not test it. The planned release date of 0.15 There are many things we want to have finished for 0.15, so the estimate isn't precise. The only other way (in vanilla game) to consume DU is the Kovarex enrichment recipe. Heat exchangers will not produce steam until they reach 500°C. I agree with this! Problem is, they heat up. plop down a blueprint. Combat-addicted players can also use it to intentionally raise the pollution level (evolution factor) quickly! Pollution and evolution factor does no harm to games in peaceful mode, so players in such mode can burn as much DU (or other nuclear wastes) as you want. You need nuclear power to u… It is not exactly no waste, but close enough. On the other hand I pissed more ore than you might think on ammo and nukes. 62. With this mod, the start into the atomic age is a bit harder than in the vanilla Factorio and you will need the logic cabling for this mod because you have to control pumps so that your enrichment process can work efficiently. Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. So I tried to build a rather big (18 reactors) nuclear power supply. But yes I agree that the fuel saving is more of a fun concept than a necessity. They deal incredible damage over a wide area, capable of wiping out groups of enemies with ease. The vehicle speed bonus (115%) is the same as for rocket fuel. I am quite proud of my design for 2 things: compact infinitly tilable "want another GW? Note that pollution generation results in rise of evolution factor. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Factorio.com|Forums|Wiki|Mod Portal. After a fuel cell is used in a nuclear reactor, it can be reprocessed, most reprocessing of used fuel cell produces nuclear waste which must be buried in the ground thanks to a nuclear waste burial building. Now I have vast amounts of both uraniums. I didn't quite do the math about it but steam tanks have a lot more capacity than an accumulator. :D :D :D, slightly pedantic, but mW is milliwatts ;-). What could be the problem here? I generally do not struggle with 235 or 238 levels, so I feel turning off to save fuel cells is just more trouble than it's worth. I think people are over worried about absolute fuel efficiency when basically fuel is infinite if you don't just let everything run 24/7. The design was made before there was a separate signal for steam. Subreddit for the game Factorio made by Wube Software. The nuclear fuel is so cheap that I don't think it's even worth it anyway. With 16 reactors there would still only be 4 at 120mW but now 12 at 160mW. Atomic bombs are very expensive alternative ammunition for the rocket launcher and the spidertron. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production, and fighting enemies. Join me as I explore all the wonders that Factorio 0.17 has to offer! Same here. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. It is represented as pollution in game. 1.12gW is made from the 8 reactors, the 2 on top and 2 on bottom at 120mW and the 4 centre ones at 160mW. Like IRL, wastes are turned into particulate matter, as pollutants released to the nature. Combat-addicted players can also use it to intentionally raise the pollution level (evolution factor) quickly! The nuclear fuel is so cheap that I don't think it's even worth it anyway. Ho I am well aware that I would have produced hundreds of hours worth of nuclear if I juste used the time to set up more mining outposts and enrichment factory. Adds an incinerator, which is particularly useful for peaceful mode. Both reactor… Check out the design I chefed up a few days ago. Combat-addicted players can also use it to intentionally raise the pollution level (evolution factor) quickly! Like in the real-world, the uranium-238 (depleted uranium, DU) has little use. Then I connected it to the inserters that add nuclear fuel and allow them to work only if the accumulator drops below 100% (ie. In Factorio world, there are no other humans. Old nuclear bomb animation before they updated the graphics in 1.0 release.1K+ kills on glitched biters Yesterday I actually set up a nuclear power plant and then, and only then, did I discover that you need one U235 for TEN fuel cells. It has the highest energy density and vehicle bonuses of all the fuel types, providing an acceleration bonus of 250% (compared to rocket fuel's 180%). https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/6aahyc/fuel_efficient_nuclear/. not enough storage tanks, for 8 reactors you need 112 heat exchangers, 192,3 (193) turbines and 93 storage tanks, New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. I appreciate this design. Enriched uranium is a type of uranium in which the percent composition of uranium-235 (written 235 U) has been increased through the process of isotope separation.Naturally occurring uranium is composed of three major isotopes: uranium-238 (238 U with 99.2739–99.2752% natural abundance), uranium-235 (235 U, 0.7198–0.7202%), and uranium-234 (234 U, 0.0050–0.0059%). Playing in peaceful mode? Quickie Nuclear plant, small footprint, little waste. Yet, it is an age-old method used by humans to get rid of wastes, especially when the cost of reprocessing/recycling is too high. Many of my friends who start Factorio for the first time get bored around that stage in the vanilla game. Perfection!!! Edit: The left most decider combinator needs to be switched to read steam instead of water. As with all building games, you have to work your way up the tech tree before you can even start thinking about Nuclear technologies. by Schallfalke. This solves that problem! Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. Don't ask me how that works.) This mod adds a special incinerator: radioactive waste incinerator. There are two main reasons I have not done this myself, but leave it to mod authors (or their experienced players). Provides different ways to handle the nuclear wastes (e.g., U-238) that are often in excess stockpiles. Players can also craft decontamination capsules, which is specially designed for cleaning up the radioactive contamination and removing debuffs from player characters. It is designed for military nuclear waste rather than civilian, but many of the challenges are related. Design / Blueprint. It is also effective to decontaminate other harms, such as the poison cloud released by poison capsule. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. my factory is not able to stress test 1 GW yet. The main thing to remember is that Factorio generally follows the laws of thermodynamics; if your nuclear reactor produces 40 megawatts of heat, you can get a maximum of 40 megawatts of electricity out the other side. Archived. Log In Sign Up. I Produced so Much Nuclear Waste the World Is Ruined Forever - Satisfactory. Please see the FAQ section on instructions. 2/ Different elements and isotopes can have very different toxicity (thus radiation emissions). This mod provides some different ways to handle these nuclear wastes. Vanilla items including used up uranium fuel cell, uranium-238, and even uranium-235 can be put into the incinerator. EnchantedNuclear does not change the processing of Factorio's base uranium. Anti Blue light (gaming eye strain prevention) Available Now! A compendium of the most common Factorio game facts, such as build ratios, tips/tricks, and links to further information. The optimisations The decoratives optimisations that were mentioned in the fff-157 are finished and working well. This requires a lot of steam buffer, but it allows you to have maximum neighbor bonus for each cell. The US does have an operational nuclear waste repository in a massive salt formation in New Mexico at a site called the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Their authors probably know their properties better than mine. After I got the enrichment process up and running I almost never needed to mine uranium again. So what can stop you to do so? I have a question!! Adds an incinerator, which is particularly useful for peaceful mode. Many players (including me) feel using such an unrealistic recipe is cheaty, and trying to avoid it. If you like this mod, and would like to provide other translations, please do not hesitate to send me a message. Then I connected it to the inserters that add nuclear fuel and allow them to work only if the accumulator drops below 100% (ie. The plan is to have approximately 3 months to implement all the planned changes, so it could be expected around february 2017. Then I rushed to the enrichment process to be even better prepared. put that together with a blue belt, that would be 10 000 units of water per sec (given that you could increase the … Non-English locale are provided by Schall Language Pack. Press J to jump to the feed. 2 reactors are directly next to eachother with all 3 heat connections directly connecting the two. more power needed). Units and buildings will be damaged slowly, but the effect is very long-lasting so can be quite deadly. For example if you have an 8 reactor system and only need 1...you are still 8x more efficient than running all 8 24/7. Too many depleted uranium (uranium-238) stockpiles? Combinators tell the reactors when to put more fuel in to keep the steam above a certain threshol thus preventing wasted fuel. Further information is available in the FAQ section. Schall Belt Configuration × Bob's Logistics, Brazilian Portuguese / Português Brasileiro (pt-BR) by. Not only the … Not alot of downsides. Copyright © 2015 - 2021 Wube Software - all rights reserved. Instead of using the tanks to store steam I just added a single acumulator to one "block" of reactors. Nuclear reactors use fuel even if the power is not being consumed by the factory. Posted by. Additional items can be added to the list by public function call provided by this mod. It is not one-sided though. more power needed). EDIT: I just tested it, it does account for 8 reactors at 160mW/reactor as you expand! This mod should be safe to be disabled/uninstalled at any time. So a patch of 500k ore is 100k fuel cells or 231 REAL WORLD days of reactor time. Adds radiological warfare (optional), which is the more “evil” way to make use of the waste. Even with a single nuclear fuel per reactor (starting at 500°) they end up at around 740°. None! Unless you leave the uranium in its ore form untouched in patches, this excess DU problem is almost unavoidable once starting to make uranium fuel cells (for power production) and/or atomic bombs (for nuclear weaponry). You need to have researched both Concrete and Advanced Electronicsto start researching Nuclear Power. Adds radiological warfare (optional), which is the more “evil” way to make use of the waste. But what's the best way to get there? Nuclear fuel is a type of fuel. I tried installing Creative Mod to have a power drain but could not get it to load without crashing. This mod provides some public function calls at data stage, so additional items (wastes) can be easily supported through such calls. Wtf is all the fuzz about?! The update is here! Nuclear fuel is made from rocket fuel and uranium-235, one of each to produce one unit of nuclear fuel.
