A way of obtaining nuclear fuel

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

A way of obtaining nuclear fuel

Post by Fortanono »

Something that annoys me about nuclear mods is how you have an ore just sitting around until the endgame. Oil is fine cause you can't actually MINE IT until you can use it, but this is different. So I thought, if they're removing artifacts, why not hide oil-like uranium deposits under alien nests? They act more like oil, with a yield rather than depletion, but they are very rare; only one in a few nests has one. You mine out the uranium with a Chemical Miner that take sulfuric acid to dig through the uranium. What do you think?

Please make your suggestions to the mod author of the mod that introduces that. :)

Sorry. I only brought the mod up as an example. I meant it for vanilla. :P

I think this is not a good idea, cause it contradicts the devs promise to enable a peaceful game. :)
See references in FFFs and development promises.

Okay, makes sense. I just don't want a useless ore that you can mine but doesn't do anything early on; just doesn't feel right.

Maybe centrifuges that break down iron/copper ore to give you uranium?

EDIT: Also, I'd prefer if you moved this from "outdated". I've clarified that this isn't about a mod, and even if you don't like it it's still valid.
