Tiered Thorium Reactors and Refinery

Description
Tiered Thorium Reactors providing the power without the quantity, and with a different fuel. You don't need uranium for this one.

Thorium reactors for both small and large grids

-Thorium required to power these in survival
-thorium is produced in the thorium refinery with thorium ore
-thorium spawns on asteroids, currently no way to have thorium spawn on planet unless a custom planet is created (by me)

Tier 1 ~1.8 times output power

Tier 2 ~3.6 times output power

"Thorium (chemical symbol Th) is a naturally-occurring radioactive metal found at very low levels in soil, rocks, and water" - this is why I chose to use stone to get thorium. (Also, stone and ice refined into thorium caused issues with clogging so it was changed to just stone.)

I know I'm coming in a couple of years after the most recent update here, but would it be possible to get a small grid version of the Thorium refinery? Same size, smaller, I don't care, I'd just like to be able to get everything into a small grid.

Bonus request - allow modules on the refineries because it feels like it takes forever to refine Thorium.

Are there any conflicts this mod has with other mods?

May I mod this for my server (unpublished)?

May I publish a compatibility patch to enable thorium fuel cycle breeding as a source of plutonium-238 for a set of Pu238-based RTG and TPV mods? Thorium-232 -> Pu238 is more realistic than my available Pu238 sources and I'd rather use your mod's thorium system than reinvent everything..

Thanks!

on top that i like use this over the deuterium reactor for 2 reason one this dose not use ice and me use hydrogen thrusters bc i like the idea refueling my ships instead of ion ion an atmospheric op to me

@jay-krustov you do know Keen remove uranium just spawning on planets right also when gun use uranium make ammo so have Thorium is nice

Hi again, nice that you updated this mod but the intension was for the other one.
Anyway i tested it again but the uranium spawn is still affected. Also the amount of stone that is need for one Thorium are a lot higher. Iam sorry to say that but i end up again to unsubscribe this one and will stay with the old and more balanced one without ore generation !
