Work with 1.6?

Simple. Easy. Effective.

Certainly. Space age technology also includes proper waste disposal technology.

Currently, that's how it is. I might rework it in the future

So do you just throw away the waste into the bin and it just disappears?

I always just load my waste into a transport pod and launch it. Who cares where it ends up as long as it's away from me.

Thank you for the update

update to 1.5 pls!

@SGAMEZ in rimatomic (mod)

@Crippled-Knight

Because, it's fun !

@Zebra hence the high energy useage and low rate of atomization!

@Propane30
You can though, kinda. I get, from the description of the atomizer, that by "atomizing", they mean breaking it apart at a sub-atomic level. That would also be more inline with it's energy useage and slowness. Breaking an organic toxin is fast and simple. Uranium and such needs a lot of energy. So, that long-duration is the capaciters charging!

where to find this item at or where in tech is it unlocked

but what about the LORE implications

These people complaining about an atomizer when anime girl mods exist LUL

why are people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about an ATOMISER it literally is made to DISINTEGRATE things doesn't matter what

Bro its just a mod inside a sci-fi game who cares settings

Hey, it's Rimworld, here we have spacertech, ultratech and even archotech. All of them are pure sci-fi, why do you seek explanation in something that humanity thinks that is or that isn't possible today

@Tardo Yeah most likely, since its defiantly possible to return a substance to its stable form, because thats what it comes down to into the end, either by making the radioactive substance its stable version(plutonium-239 to a stable plutonium) or even changing the substance into something less dangerous(like Uranium to maybe Oxygen for example, though it probably need a hella lot of energy)

No discussion, atomizer go BRRRRR and nuclear waste is gone, real

It's an interesting discussion; practically by definition, an atomizer cannot decontaminate radioactive waste, as the instability/danger is caused by the subatomic structure; similarly, the processes to do so cannot be "molecular". But the wastepacks have a flavor that seems to conflate proper toxicity with radioactivity, at least in my reading of it. And "atomizing" might work for complex organic toxins, but wouldn't do a thing about mercury, lead, arsenic, or most other toxic elements, which I would expect to find in waste/pollution (well it might make the mercury less toxic, just not nontoxic). I might like a mod for deep borehole disposal of wastepacks/radioactive waste someday myself. For the moment though, this mod is as reasonable as the base game. Thanks for it, Rabiosus.

@Lord Maelstrom I mean, if you read the description of the Wastepack Atomizer, it functions by using advanced molecular processes to convert the material into inert gases. Presumably, this would behave the same way. So you aren't vapourizing it, you are molecularly altering it into a non-radioactive substance.

@Radixerus don't you think that vaporizing nuclear waste would probably release some dangerous particles and radiation?

Just what I needed. Thank you.

@RutraNickers I mean, if you think about it, radiation is already atomizing itself. It's just speeding up the half-life... really really quickly. Really quickly.

indeed now if the machine had something like a 1 uranium per 100 it whould be better irl

@RutraNickers I see no downside either way.

from a gameplay perspective, it's awesome
from a realistic perspective, it's an enviromental catastrophe in the making while horribly poisononing your colonists with heavy metal and radiation particles
