What is this mod?

This is pretty much a compilation of mods related to nuclear power production to make them look as a natural part of the game for proper experience and making nuclear power a more reliable and desirable way of generating power.

***

About the mods:

• Thorium: A mod which adds a new resource - Thorium you can use to either generate low-grade zero waste nuclear power or recycle Uranium Waste back into usable fuel.
• Waste Shielding and Waste Shielding Plus: Introduces a way to convert Sulfur into Lead which allows to convert Plutonium Waste into usable or sinkable resources.
• Quantum Energy Rebalance: Adjusts Ficsonium production by lowering its production cost by 80% and by increasing Ficsonium Fuel Rod energy value by 250%. Also introduces changes to Ionized Fuel.
• Vanilla Upgrades and Vanilla Upgrades Peak Efficiency: Included do to mods' option to seamlessly upgrade Nuclear Power Plants up to them producing 5000 MW without overclocking. Includes Pipelines Mk.3 and Conveyor Belts/Lifts Mk.7. Supported by Heavy Fluid Overhaul.

List of changes to mods:

• Vanilla game:
• Nuclear Power Milestone is now a Tier 7 milestone, 50 Supercomputers cost has been replaced with 50 High-Speed Connectors.
• Nuclear Power Plant 10 Supercomputer cost has been replaced with 10 High-Speed Connectors.
• Nuclear Power Plants now produce 5000 MW by default, water consumption remains the same.
• Waste Shielding and Waste Shielding Plus:
• Shielded Waste recipe now gets unlocked in Particle Enrichment milestone. It can't be unlocked though the MAM, but after reaching the milestone, it will be complete in the MAM granting access to further researches.
• While Bioremediation still exists in the mod, its content is ignored, no changes are going to be made.
• Quantum Energy Rebalance:
• If a rebalanced version of recipe hasn't been unlocked on the save yet, its original counterpart will be altered instead.
• Vanilla Upgrades and Vanilla Upgrades Peak Efficiency:
• Nuclear Power Plants get upgraded properly according to the 5000 MW baseline power production (10000 MW on Upgrade 3, 25000 MW with 250% Overclocking).

Compatibility

Due to specifics of how dependent mods work, I can't ensure compatibility with other mods related to building upgrades or tweaks to nuclear power. Multiplayer shouldn't have any issues.

Recommended Mods:

• EasyAlt Rebalance: Most of the balancing has been made with this mod in mind. I highly recommend playing with it to consistently get progressively better recipes throughout your playthrough.
• Fuel Tweaks: If in addition you want to nerf oil-based fuel power, this mod is for you. ~~You are a minority, just like I am...~~
