can someone make a mod that makes nuclear power plants have greater efficiency

[Z0MBE]

It seems like something that should be in the vanilla game

What do you mean by greater efficiency? You already get 80 giga joules of energy from a single uranium-235. That sounds plenty efficient to me.

Are you placing your reactors next to each other?
They pick up a neighbor bonus of up to +400% usable efficiency.
Use multiple tile wide heat pipe setups too and your heat will travel farther.

Its all ready in the game. A single reactor by itself produces 40 MW. With 2 reactors adjacent to each other each of them produce 80 MW. With a 2x8 reactor set up each reactor produces 150 MW.

Try using efficiency modules into slots of your power plants.
Your fuel cells make your plants efficient then like Jupiter and KatherineOfSky youtube tutorial said like yeah place plants together for neighbour bonus.

There already is a mod that does this. Bob's mod allows for Mk3 nuclear power plants.

Geez I hate this forum so much.

You know how if you place two next to eachother it gives a efficiency multiplier, I want that multiplier to be higher or made higher with research, my power needs more heat, and my reactors don't produce enough heat, there are no mods that change that or effect that..

Ok now deflect and try to derail

Ah so you want "more power."

Ok. So that is what you want. We are not mind readers so figuring out what you wanted was impossible from the vague description you gave.

I took a look at Prototype/Reactor in the documentation and it has a neighbor_bonus variable that is by default 1. All you would need is a mod that changes that variable. https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Modding_tutorial here are some tutorials so you can make it yourself. It's not actually that hard. Or you could do like the rest of us and just put in more reactors.

I have a 10 reactor blueprint. It generates tons of power. It's pretty cool. I can stamp as many as I need.

Thanks

I currently have a reactor with 72 additional reactors and it's all so I can try to game off of the heat generated so I never have to refuel... it doesn't work like that unfortunately.

also I have a mod that stops fuel consumption when heat goes above a point, if the heat goes to a certain point and the efficiency is high, less fuel is consumed. but not really....
