Nuclear power is an alternative setup for endgame power generation, trading a much more complex setup for increased energy density compared to conventional burner power. It was introduced in 0.15.0. It might refer to the researched technology, or the overal workings of extraction and processing of Uranium-235 and Uranium-238.

Technologies

Technology Description
Nuclear power Allows the player to set up a basic facility to mine, process, and use uranium.
Atomic bomb Allows the player to build atomic bombs, expensive but powerful area of effect rockets.
Uranium ammo Allows the player to build uranium enhanced ammo.
Kovarex enrichment process Allows the player to increase the uranium-235 yields.
Nuclear fuel reprocessing Allows the player to recycle the used up uranium fuel cells back into uranium-238.
