Coolthulhu Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Currently, research reactor seems to be very clunky and not very rewarding. Here's an idea to make it worth using: In addition to nuclear waste, the reactor outputs small quantities of plutonium (or radium or any other such material) Plutonium is used in low-grade radiation production, ideal for mutated plants. Say, radiation-emitting ceiling lamp. Plutonium is used up slowly enough that one reactor can "feed" ~20 dupes with only mutated plants Some method of infinitely renewing uranium should exist, so that the reactor doesn't become truly useless later on (waste reprocessing flora/fauna?) This would solve two problems at once: reactor not having a unique role and low grade radiation being hard to achieve without wheezewort spam or exploits.

babba Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Please look in to the reactor user threads dear Klei, we would need a solution for the currently finite Uranium - Many thanks dear Klei.

Sasza22 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Yes a portable radiation source is almost a must atm with all the stuff that requires it. Plutonium could be an option.

Swoop5994 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 there is yellow cake in the elements that are on hold i think...i really hope we get to a point the research reactor give us a fissive product that we have to store in special container and/or build new contraptions with the heat it could generate Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129951-good-reason-to-use-reactor-plutonium/#findComment-1463219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
babba Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Maybe we could refill the snack machine with Plutonium bars, triggering dupe mutations.

Swoop5994 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 GUYS 4726 Degrees nuclear fallout creation at the impacts points between 2 radbolt in the air ! THE COLLIDER LIVES !!!!!!!!! im i getting excited for something that was there before ? they added the nuclear fallout at this last beta update if i'm not mistaken and it comes out at a whopping 4726 degrees C for a millisecond but i ran my collider 10 minutes and it was going up all the time didn't stopped Here's a screen : https://imgur.com/a/UTOjNxs Of course im in sandbox to test it but im certain that a massive collider can be built with the scrap radiation of the research building (or just melt it down) Edit : i just tested a bit on a wall and no reaction whatsoever. so i guess the race is on for the best radbolt collider Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129951-good-reason-to-use-reactor-plutonium/#findComment-1463256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
