[DISCONTINUED] Uranium Centrifuge (more efficient uranium refining)

DISCONTINUED: Reika has generously taken up the mantle for me. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1712133370

A simple block for getting a bit more out of your uranium ore.

The block basically functions like the arc furnace, except for uranium ore. It processes uranium ore considerably slower than refinery, gives quite a bit more uranium ingots, and uses 150kW when active. The block is 1x1x1, has an inventory size of 4,000L, and can be upgraded with modules (2 slots, on opposite sides, effictively mandating the usage of pairs if you want upgrades).

It should always be more efficient to process uranium using the centrifuge over the basic refinery, the primary downsides are that it only processes uranium and it does so a lot slower (just over a third of the speed). Whilst a basic refinery with efficiency upgrades will get the job done, a pair of centrifuges with a couple efficiency upgrades on them should do it better (albeit a bit slower). It all depends on if you have the components and space for them.

There is also a small ship variant, which is 5x5x3 (just over half size), uses half the power, processes at half the speed, and costs roughly 65% as much as the large one, and also lacks upgrade slots. It's more efficient to use large ones, but if you have a mining ship and an excess of uranium ore then why not?

If you feel like you have a bit of spare cash, why not donate? Alternatively, you could also pledge so I get a small amount on a monthly basis! (Don't try and use donations as leverage, it doesn't work.)
