About Nucular - Nuclear Power
From Factorio Mod PortalNuclear power plants, atomic bombs and particle science.
This mod adds nuclear reactors to generate power in mid- and late-game. Uranium processiong can be researched after sulfur processing, so it is possible to build a nuclear reactor before solar panels. Later technologies like breeder reactors allow you to extend your uranium supply. On the military side the mod adds uranium ammunition and nuclear weapons to deal with biters. If you want to play peaceful, you can use plutonium to create alien science packs.
