[Obsolete] Tiered Thorium Reactors and Refinery (old)

Description
**Please use this one http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805678675 this mod is now obsolete, and I will only be updating the new one.**

Thorium reactors for both small and large grids

-Thorium required to power these in survival
-thorium is produced in the refinery with stone and ice
-the ratios for thorium are

1 thorium = 10 ice + 10,000 stone

Rank 1 ~1.8 times output power

Rank 2 ~3.6 times output power

"Thorium (chemical symbol Th) is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal found at very low levels in soil, rocks, and water" - this is why I chose to use stone and ice refined together to get thorium

This mod is to support my other tiered mods below, providing the power without the quantity.

The refinery time feels more realistic against the newer version because it don´t eat 100k stone in "3" seconds it need a bit until you got one Thorium produced. Nice side effect that you must produce the Thorium, there are no Ore generation like in the newer version that mess up with the world.

The only thing that isn´t working here is the small reactor for large grids. It´s a black box. I hope that nukeguard will lay hands on for this great mod. The rest works fine even after this long time. Some minor things like refinery dont show up in g-menu itself and must be searched, are things that doesn´t really bothering. If you dont want an Survival Impossible reactor that you get with the new version, because it removes all Uranium from your world, this mod is a fully recommendation. It is literally a "balanced" version against the newer one.

Hi again Nukeguard, i hope you read the comment that i left at your "new" Tiered Thorium Mod.
I think you nailed it with this mod(stage) and in my opinion it´s not obsolete it´s a balanced version of your newer one.

This is an great reactor mod that closes the gab between wind, solar and battery power and the vanilla uranium reactors or others like the Arc Reactor Mod. And even more they are still usefull after you managed to get the other reactors because there are 1x1 reactors that can be set when an big vanilla or Arc Reactor are to big and provide more power then a vanilla small reactor.

That there are no tier three and four like in the "new" version aren´t that bad, they feel to overpowered. The used amount of ice and stone are good to go and allows you the use of stone/gravel sifter mods if you want.

got an issue with the non + reactors being purple cubes and not having a model.

Woot! Thx for the update.

Updated, new models and refinery
Zankar Nov 22, 2016 @ 6:22pm 
Oh nice.

I actually have a thorium refinery all set up, just need to make a model for it to add to the models i have for the reactors and then I'll have an update for this.

No he wouldn't. He could just use Keen's arcfurnice model and just rename it thorium refinery. Then later if he wanted to make custom models he could. But if he can something does need to be done about refiners making gravel when there is ice in there. Having to sit there and baby sit the refinery is kinda lame. I love his tiered mods but with this gravel issue I would rather give myself the thorium and iject a large chunk of rock and some ice into space as an offering to the clank god for my "gift" of thorium.
