Nuclear Operators Utilities

Radiation protection suit

Reduce radiation damage by about 90%. Good resistance against poison and acid.

Decontamination foam

Extinguish fires and remove permanent radiation. Use decontamination foam as ammo for the flamethrower.

Heat-switch

Automatically switch heat flow, distribute heat of reactors in a controlled way.

Experimental: Underground heat pipe

Construct an underground heat pipe network for heat distribution and connect reactors for the neighbour bonus. This feature is still under development. Due to various issues we currently don't recommend using this feature in production.

What about Realistic Reactors - Utilities mod migration?

---

The Realistic Reactors - Utilities from the Realistic Reactors - Utilities mod by OwnlyMe are compatible and are migrated (taken over) upon first load of the map with «Nuclear Operators Utilities» mod. Note, the migration is not backwards compatible, test well.

What is required during the gameplay?

The research unlocks all features upon completion. Changing the startup settings doesn't change the "researched" state, however disabled items/entities will be removed from the map.
