Making nuclear viable : increase fuel burn time

    I increased the burn time on my nuclear fuel by a factor of 4. What do you guys think of this tweak? As it is right now, nuclear is pointless compared to solar because you burn through fuel so relatively quickly.

    Fun facts:
    If you find one piece of uranium in the ground, a reactor can turn that one piece into 1 mil to 5 mil EU.
    If you have a Breeder reactor setup already, that one piece of uranium could grant you a whooping 3 mil to 35 mil EU profit.


    Are you sure you want more? ;)

    640 EU/t CASUC reactor = 128,000,000 EU in 2.7 hours
    128 EU/t Solar Array = 128,000,000 EU in 27.0 hours


    I think it's fine.

    640 EU/t is only achievable if you have, I dunno, BuildCraft or something. Considering nuclear just with IC2 and nothing else, I agree with the OP, it is more feasible for me to just make a bunch of solar panels. Lot less fun to be sure, but still...

    BrickedKeyboard is one of the people here who have designed RP2 based CASUC reactors from scratch. I have a hunch his server has the mods required to make it feasible.
