Nuclear Power Station and Something to burn oil

Post by Schneeflocke »

Hi,
I love your game and really enjoy it to play. Please forgive my bad english too, but I'm not a native speaker.
While playing your game I had a few problems and would really like to have a building to solute this.

First: To create Electricity there are 2 ways: Steam engines and Solar Power with some batteries.
Well, I really dont like the Solar Power since it takes away so much space for much less energy than the steam version. I run 40 Steam engines and 100 Solar Panels at the time, and I would really like to build a Fusion Power Station or a Nuclear Power Station. Can be filled with complicated to create Fuel ->I dont care. I only want a really Powerfull reactor.

Second:Dividing Oil in the 3 ohter Ressources is great. But I often noticed tanks with the heavy oil and the light oil are full and I no longer get Petrol. Yes, I can research the improved oil mechanics later, but I would really like to build a tower with a flame on the top where I can burn the leftovers instead of building more than 20 tanks for these 2 Ressources. I dont care about Polluting the Planet ;-)

If you really want to destroy your leftovers of heavy and light oil (instead of storing them or turning them into solid fuel), you can always use them as a replacement for water with boilers/steam engines. But that's a real waste imho.

That works with heavy oil? Insane!

How high does the temperature go then? 400 °C?

The temperature won't ever be high enough to make oil more useful than solid fuel. It is only good for literally throwing your oil away.

And there's a Mod that destroys the fluids.

There's a nuclear power mod, but I do not use it because the decay isn't working yet the last time I check.
