Re: [REQUEST] UPS Friendly Nuclear Reactor

That is why I posted this on Request forum :oops: I know nobody tells you that, but look at the other posts in this forum and the number of replies they have. Reality says: Make it yourself or it won't happen unless you win the lottery. The constraint on making mods is not a lack of ideas, it's a l...

Re: [REQUEST] UPS Friendly Nuclear Reactor

I actually like your idea. Disguise a Boiler and a Generator as a Nuclear reactor and nuclear plant, make it use exclusively Nuclear fuel, and boost their stats to match a vanilla nuclear setup. Three entities is much better than the hundreds it will be reeplacing. That's brilliant. Here's how i'd ...

Re: [REQUEST] UPS Friendly Nuclear Reactor

Actually, it depends how much you want the reactor functionallity (Constantly burn fuel when inserted if you need it or not, and have a neighbour bonus), because the boiler itself can burn fuel too, so you could set that to burn nuclear fuel, reducing the number of entities to 2. but at this point ...

Re: [REQUEST] UPS Friendly Nuclear Reactor

Currently, not possible via modding (Everything is possible via modding if you use scripts, just bear with me while I explain) because there is no template entity (something that exists already) that does what you want. Nothing takes in burner fuel (nuclear is just a category of burner power) and o...

[REQUEST] UPS Friendly Nuclear Reactor

Hi, I just made my first megabase, feed by 28 nuclear reactors. Then reached the dreaded UPS hit. I Really dont like the idea of covering half the world in solar panels, so i want to stick with nuclear power. Plus I like the mini game of producing enriched uranium. The problem (UPS wise) with nuclea...
