~~Eveything Narrative's Nuclear~~ Kashmira Qeel's Tweaks for Nicer Ratios

This was a standalone mod to reduce the difficulty associated with nuclear power by making the numbers nice and round. It has been taken over by Taurunti (thanks!)

New mod is here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/NuclearTweaksFork

The downside is a somewhat higher fuel consumption.

It contains the following changes:

  1. Nuclear reactors no longer waste fuel when at maximum temperature.
  2. Nuclear reactors produce 60 MW of power instead of 40 MW, meaning a

single uranium fuel cell of 8GJ lasts exactly 8000 ticks, or 133⅓ seconds.

  1. All vanilla heat interfaces operate at a maximum temperature of 1015°C, which is

exactly 1000°C above ambient temperature.

  1. The maximum temperature of steam has likewise been raised to 1015°C.
  2. Heat exchangers produce steam at 515°C, exactly 500°C above ambient temperature

for an energy density of a round 10kJ per unit nuclear steam.

  1. Heat exchangers exchange 12MW of heat energy and 120 units of water into 120 units of 515°C steam per second.
  2. Steam turbines convert 60 units of steam per second into 6 MW of power.
  3. The neighbor bonus has been reduced to 50%, meaning each interface between two

reactors counts as _one_ additional reactor, rather than two.

The ratios are as follows:

| Reactors | Heat Exchangers | Steam Turbines | Offshore Pumps | Power Output | |:-----------:|:---------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:|:--------------------:| | 1 | 5 | 10 | 0.5 | 60 MW | | 2 | 15 | 30 | 1.5 | 180 MW | | 3 | 25 | 50 | 2.5 | 300 MW | | 4 | 40 | 80 | 4 | 480 MW | | 6 | 65 | 130 | 6.5 | 780 MW | | 8 | 90 | 180 | 9 | 1080 MW | | 2 × _n_ + 4 | 25 × _n_ + 40 | 50 × _n_ + 80 | 2.5 × _n_ + 4 | (300 × _n_ + 480) MW |
