ThoriumReactor (DX11 compatible)

TL;DR:
Large Grid Only
1x1x1
Output: 1MW
Fuel: Thorium (made from lots of gravel in an assembler)

(DX11 compatible)

Based on this: http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/current-and-future-generation/thorium/

Since the launch of planets, a good way to give players a nice starter resource income was to use the "Stone Crusher" mod.
This meant that you could convert stone to all kinds of resources, though in very small amounts. However, you'd also be stuck with tons of gravel, cluttering your storage.

That's where this mod comes in. It adds a Thorium Reactor, which uses Thorium as fuel (which is made from gravel in an assembler). It's Large Grids only, using the default small reactor model*. Output: 1MW.

The reason I added a Thorium resource was so that Gravel would be quickly consumed, as changing the rate of consumption on Reactors doesn't seem to be possible.

*While I do have a custom texture, I have been unable to assign it to the model. Currently uses the default Reactor texture.
Technically, it still is a nuclear reactor so I guess it fits, but ideally I'd like to change the text on the model from "Nuclear Reactor" to "Thorium Reactor". If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! Of course, if someone were to provide a model with that texture, it would be greatly appreciated (and you'll be given poper credit for your contribution of course!)
