Russmaster2299 Posted August 22, 2025 Share Posted August 22, 2025 Hear me out. Currently, the Research Reactor outputs 1.67kg of nuclear waste a second, and there isn't too much use for it other than as a coolant, or to produce radiation for Radbolt production, as well as a few other small uses. I think there can be a bit better use from the output. 1) What if the reactor still produced the nuclear waste, but in addition, also produced liquid uranium from an output port at the same rate Enriched Uranium is used. This allows the collection of a small amount of depleted uranium, which can be used as a radioactive building material, or as food for plug slugs. 2) A new Stone Hatch morph when a hatch consumes nuclear waste, or uranium. This (Glowing Hatch) will have a light radius, and emit radiation, but the diet will also change. It will consume things such as Nuclear Waste, Depleted Uranium, and Corium, and turn them into Uranium Ore at 20% mass (00.5% mass for Nuclear Waste, so recycling a Research Reactors output for half the input weight used). 3) More nuclear buildings please. Also more uses for Enriched uranium that turns it into Depleted uranium. Maybe some way to turn Tungsten into Abyssalite (making it renewable with Spaced Out) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/167665-research-reactor-depletes-uranium-and-more-nuclear-stuff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
