Nuclear Science

Adds nuclear science as Nauvis's science pack.

When starting the game elsewhere, with Any Planet Start, Nauvis feels out of place as there is little reason to go there for game progression. This mod makes Nauvis more like the other planets, providing its own science pack that is required to get to Aquilo and beyond, technology progression analagous to the other planets and its own special building, the Atom forge.

Technologies

| | Uranium mining |
| --: | :-- |
| Trigger | crafting sulfuric acid |
| Requires | Electric mining drill, Sulfur processing |
| Effects | Mining with fluids |

| | Uranium processing |
| --: | :-- |
| Trigger | mining uranium ore |
| Requires | Concrete, Uranium mining |
| Unlocks | Centrifuge Uranium processing |

| | Nuclear science pack |
| --: | :-- |
| Trigger | crafting uranium-235 |
| Requires | Uranium processing |
| Unlocks | Nuclear science pack |

| | Atom forge |
| --: | :-- |
| Cost | 45 s × 500 |
| Requires | Nuclear science pack, Processing unit |
| Unlocks | Atom forge |

These technologies are altered to require nuclear science packs to research:

| | Technology | Notes |
| :---- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- | :- |
| | Atomic bomb | Costs production science pack instead of space science pack |
| | Biolab | |
| | Captive biter spawner | |
| | Kovarex enrichment process | See below |
| | Legendary quality | |
| | Nuclear fuel reprocessing | |
| | Nuclear power | |
| | Physical projectile damage 7–∞ | |
| | Planet discovery Aquilo | |
| | Portable fission reactor | |
| | Portable fusion reactor | |
| | Promethium science pack | |
| | Railgun shooting speed 1–∞ | |
| | Research productivity | |
| | Spidertron | |
| | Uranium ammo | |

Kovarex enrichment process, by default, costs 50 nuclear science packs plus 1000 of each automation science pack, logistic science pack, chemical science pack and production science pack.

A setting is provided to instead make it a trigger technology, requiring crafting 40 uranium-235.

Buildings

Centrifuge

The centrifuge has a crafting speed of 1.5.

These recipes can now be crafted in a centrifuge, in addition to an assembling machine or by a player:

• atomic bomb
• explosive uranium cannon shell
• portable fission reactor
• portable fusion reactor
• uranium cannon shell
• uranium fuel cell
• uranium rounds magazine
  

Atom forge

The atom forge is a 6 × 6 tile building with crafting speed 2, 4 module slots and 50% base productivity. It may only be crafted on Nauvis. It can craft all the recipes a centrifuge can, and:

• atom forge
• centrifuge
• automation science pack
• logistic science pack
• military science pack
• chemical science pack
• production science pack
• utility science pack
