Is it possible to add a Sun Lamp version as well?

you could make it so that they heat up rooms and wouldnt work if the temperature is too hot. its unnecessary complexity, but would be very cool

@WJSabey "you could make it run on plutonium instead if the player has Rimatomics installed or something"
I like this idea. Should be doable with just a patch right? I may have to give it a go

Updated to 1.6

its a fine mod, the other guy licks toes

80 years would still be short for uranium; natural uranium has a half-life of over 4 billion years. What I meant was that the game doesn't include plutonium, which real RTGs are made from. I'm pretty sure nobody has ever thought of using uranium in RTGs in real life, but it's the closest we've got in the game. I guess you could make it run on plutonium instead if the player has Rimatomics installed or something.

The fuel consumption is scaled for gameplay reasons of course. If they lasted for a realistic 80 years then they might as well be infinite, which I didn't like.

Sweet, this is a great companion to mods that add full-bore nuclear reactors for making lots of power from uranium. Spacer tech factions should be using these instead of diesel generators. Kind of funny having an RTG based on uranium only last for a few years, but it's definitely best to work with what's in the base game.

It's a Radioisotope thermoelectric generator. I just realised I didn't even put it in the description

what is an rtg/ what does RTG stand for?

Great, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the reply.

I originally made it for 1.4, so it should be okay. Thankfully the update was very easy on XML only mods.

Will this work with 1.4? It's not listed as compatible but figured I would ask. I'm still running 1.4 as a lot of my mods are not updated yet. Cool looking mod.

aww

No, it's not a nuclear bomb, just a pressurized capsule. I actually forgot the exact value, so checking now, it's a flame explosive a bit smaller then a molotov. Just a fire hazard really.

alright is the level of damage close to an Antigrain?

Not too big, but it does boom

does it go big boom if it gets damaged?

nice. good use for them then.

They should be immune

are the lights affected by solar flares? i assume so, but figured i'd ask since from what i know, if they're not using the power comp they might not be.
