Hope it helps anyone!

Any plans to update for 1.0?

Any idea if this works with 1.0?

for some reason I don't need to resarch anything to access these items. Mod incompatiblity or is there supposed to be research for them?

And I'm getting confused. Ignore my comment on fuel use. I was thinking of another mod that had an RTG using fuel per day. Sorry.

I know, just terminology, and I suppose I'm nitpicking, but that was the main point to NASA using RTGs. They'd last the decades they'd need for a probe to go out to the outer planets and all they'd have to do is compensate for the power continually, and slowly, dropping during it's life. No maintenance required.

I don't know the exact details, but generally RTGs have fairly low power outputs for their size, most I've seen mentioned have been at most a few hundred watts, but their life span is measured in decades. The life though depends on the material used. Strontium 90 based ones I believe have a half life (when the power drops to half when it started, and another of this time period it halves again, etc) of about 28 years. Some are a bit shorter, some longer. But the main thing is, to make them feel like RTGs they should use radioactive fuel in creation, not to 'fuel' them on a per day basis. RTGs should be low power, but last for a long time. Reactors, they should be fueled, and have a high power output.

@kaptain_kavern I was just doing some really rough calculations, and based on wood and chemfuel in real life, the energy density of uranium, and the early RTGs, I would estimate 1 unit of uranium could run a 20kW generator for about 7 days. That's 180 days or your .750kW generator per unit, but scaled down to something reasonable in the game I was thinking of modifying it to about a unit per season per 1kW.

@patupi maybe if the RTG is damaged or it is destroyed, then the material inside the core is released and results in moderate or severe fallout poisoning in the surrounding area? Kind of like the zombie mod when the poison zombies explode?

As far as radiation sickness goes, real RTGs have very varying results in this, depending on the fuel source. Some have next to no real radiation issues (just the container wall can stop the radiation from them) though toxicity if the thing leaks might be an issue. Others have some radiation and SEVERE issues with toxicity. Look up Strontium 90 vs Calcium and how the bodies handles that *Shudders*.

If you are just going with some form of Uranium based fuel source you might think of some kind of conversion. A process to make fuel (probably Plutonium or Polonium based) from the Uranium prior to making the RTG

Or I could be going way OTP on thinking this through :D

Is this inspired from The Martian?
