T. LEFEBVRE Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Even without radioactive germs, nuclear waste emits radiation. So, we can lunch rocket without using ressources. For example, after running nuclear reactor 200 cycles, you get 144 000 kg of nuclear waste. With escher waterfall and one radbolt generator, you can lunch a rocket about every 2 cycles, without using ressources ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. LEFEBVRE Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 I think since the last update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. LEFEBVRE Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Strangely, nuclear waste in my aquatuner doesn't emit radiations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura_sk Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well... Radbolts are infinite radbolts (if they collide), but nuclear waste would work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghkbrew Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 There are a few ways to get infinite radiation now. I'm not sure they're really trying to prevent it. You still have to pay a decent amount of electricity to turn it into radbolts. They even doubled the power cost recently. Now if they implement a method to turn radbolts into more than 960J of electricity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 They need more receptors for the radbolts, like a containment device for nuclear batteries ( really small batteries like the debug coffee cup ). Some interesting receiver that can emit heat.. because I would use that at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ways to store radbolts, automation sensors, especially, more uses. There are hints of a nuclear cooking machine (to make wilted lettuce) coming. And I'm guessing they'll be needed for the genetic modification system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think they`ll need to make radbolt generators leak some radbolts as radiation or infinite radbolt setups will be super easy even with low radiation emitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Getting the decay set properly as heat perhaps? I think the radbolt shooters actually do leak germs, but can't be sure, my hydrogen hood research chamber is still germy even after a 100 cycles of being unused. Even if it is only three digit germ counts, it's still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radbolts seem to cause random spots (single tiles) of radiation and contaminants as they fly. And the explosion when radbolts collide with something (but not when absorbed) causes a lot of contaminants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMuffins Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Radbot generator doesn't make germs. It's the radbolt itself. It carries about 500 germs and emits a low radiation aura of about 1-2 rad at 2 tiles radius as it traverses the tiles. Any tiles containing elements mostly transparent to radiation will be smeared with a low dose of germ. Upon impact, it will transfer the 500 germs to the impacted tile and shower the surrounding 5 tiles radius with a huge dose of radiation. This radiation does not spawn germs in the affected tiles. Residual radiation for nuclear waste is 1 rad for each 66 2/3 units of liquid waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for significant amounts, you need full tiles. For crazy amounts, you need to compress fluids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
