The refinery time feels more realistic against the newer version because it don´t eat 100k stone in "3" seconds it need a bit until you got one Thorium produced. Nice side effect that you must produce the Thorium, there are no Ore generation like in the newer version that mess up with the world.

The only thing that isn´t working here is the small reactor for large grids. It´s a black box. I hope that nukeguard will lay hands on for this great mod. The rest works fine even after this long time. Some minor things like refinery dont show up in g-menu itself and must be searched, are things that doesn´t really bothering. If you dont want an Survival Impossible reactor that you get with the new version, because it removes all Uranium from your world, this mod is a fully recommendation. It is literally a "balanced" version against the newer one.

Hi again Nukeguard, i hope you read the comment that i left at your "new" Tiered Thorium Mod.
I think you nailed it with this mod(stage) and in my opinion it´s not obsolete it´s a balanced version of your newer one.

This is an great reactor mod that closes the gab between wind, solar and battery power and the vanilla uranium reactors or others like the Arc Reactor Mod. And even more they are still usefull after you managed to get the other reactors because there are 1x1 reactors that can be set when an big vanilla or Arc Reactor are to big and provide more power then a vanilla small reactor.

That there are no tier three and four like in the "new" version aren´t that bad, they feel to overpowered. The used amount of ice and stone are good to go and allows you the use of stone/gravel sifter mods if you want.

Thanks, sorry I must of been too tired to notice that

@Emily, pls use this one https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805678675 this mod is now obsolete, and I will only be updating the new one.

got an issue with the non + reactors being purple cubes and not having a model.

Woot! Thx for the update.

Updated, new models and refinery

Oh nice.

I actually have a thorium refinery all set up, just need to make a model for it to add to the models i have for the reactors and then I'll have an update for this.

No he wouldn't. He could just use Keen's arcfurnice model and just rename it thorium refinery. Then later if he wanted to make custom models he could. But if he can something does need to be done about refiners making gravel when there is ice in there. Having to sit there and baby sit the refinery is kinda lame. I love his tiered mods but with this gravel issue I would rather give myself the thorium and iject a large chunk of rock and some ice into space as an offering to the clank god for my "gift" of thorium.

It unfortunatly is not that simple. He would have to make a model, do 3d modeling stuff that is a pain, code it, and implement it.

why not make a special machine to refine to make sure that there will not be recipe conflict?

Ya, the fuel disappeared a few days ago or more, I just couldn't figure out what was wrong since the reactors still work in creative.

currently working on this mod, new models incoming soon, while testing those I'll look into this.

OH NO. Liquid Thorium is no longer available and even disappears from inside t2 reactors I had already placed. What happened?

Hi Nuke, I'm also having the issue of refineries suddenly turning stone back to Gravel after it's processed an amount of stone, can't really give any numbers, since it seems to happen always when I'm not looking

Great!

"-increased production time to offset decreased raw materials" fixed my issue thanks!!

I've had similar issues as steric_hindrance. Although I can only add 1000 stone at a time. Anything more than that continues to make gravel instead. Workaround is shift/ctrl stone in with the ice. slow and tedious but it works.
I've only just downloaded this mod and I really like it; and your reactors. thanks.

Please turn down the amount of stone required for thorium. The consumption rate is ridiculously high. Good mod though.

will have to take a look at this

I've been having a problem with my Thorium production recently (this didn't happen in the past when I've used this mod). I have a set of dedicated thorium refineries, stocked with 10 thousand kg ice. Conveyors route stone to these refineries. When active, they produce about 1kg of Thorium and then switch over to Gravel. As far as I can tell, they don't switch back to Thorium unless I manually move the Stone out and back in. Then it's another ~1kg of Thorium and more gravel. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Would be excellent. :D

i did make refinery of thorium lower, but maybe abit too low, that does seem a bit much, maybe i'll cut the time by 30%-40%

*edit for clarification* I have four refineries dedicated to thorium production and have had the rest switched over for about eighteen of the last 48 hours, otherwise I would have had perhaps double the amount, but no other resources

So I like this mod, but I'm having an issue... I need enough thorium to keep four T1 smalls online, but thorium refines slower than platinum. I like that it isn't super abundant like Uranium (where one deposit lasts the entire game,) but perhaps the current rate is a little too slow? I'm having to switch all 19 of my refineries over to producing thorium, in addition to increasing the refinery speed to x6, and I've only managed to get 20kg in two days. Thoughts?

ok thanks

I just have not updated the image yet

the power outputs are what you stated, they are 540MW and 1080MW for the Large Large Reactor

so do you plan on changing the power outputs or are you going to keep the current one's?

You are correct, the image I did not update. The actual power output is correct, this image was from before Keen beefed up the power output.

the normal large reactors have 300MW of power, if the tier 1 of your reactors are 1.8 times the normal output that would make it output 540MW not 185MW or power, then for the next one that should be 1080MW or 1.08GW of power.

Unless the pic is comepletly outdates the numbers are comepletly wrong man whats going here?

I need to rebalance a bit

This mod was great preplanets, but now feels over powered on planets.

Stock vanilla, once ice is gone from refinery, it then produces gravel, or if stone is gone ice will just sit there until it is moved to a tank or generator manually.

The only way ice goes to the refinery is when it is either placed there or mined and drawn there, otherwise it should go to your tanks or generators.

That's interesting; I didn't know that was possible. Now, I assume, if no ice is present, it then processes the stone into gravel? How would you create gravel if there is ice in the system? Is it a special refinery available only through the mod, or is this being done through the stock vanilla?

the refinery takes the stone and ice and makes thorium, they have to both be in the refinery for it to work, the refinery will not pull ice from the tank or generator.

I'm curious as the ...internal workings of this; you can set a reactor block to require two types of fuel to work? Or does the refinery take the ice and stone and make the thorium? I didn't know that was possible, except through the assembler.

they work as described, I use them in my survival worlds and they pull the fuel from refineries.

I noticed there's mention of a bug with the conveyor system, back in early October. Is that bug still present, or does this work as described?

I would like 6 point access on these for easier implmentation in Conveyor systems and access on all sides please.
Thank you for the great thruster mod saved me with the rebalance on mass/speed.
Lol @michel.robichaud

Oh and can you make colored ones too? (just joking )
Epic mod

Thank you Pavel, I will look into this issue, it had worked last time I had tried, I may need to change something or add a config file for making the fuel a energetic ingot, that might be the cause.

Hello,

I just have to say that your mod is great. Been using it in my survival worlds and it makes building bases that much better with the extra energy. The reason why I am writing this comment is because the reactors do not seem to work with the vanilla conveyor system. I have tryed multipled configurations and every time your reactors just will not connect. They will show up in the inventory of the system but you cannot place or pull out uranium unless directly accessing the reactor. I have only tried this with small ships but I thought I should bring it up. Maybe you already have a solution to the problem or it is just on my end.

cant wait for planets for the recipe to change for Thorium

i like my ARC Reactors better, higher output but costlyer to build as well, example an Arc reactor at 50X is not to bad to make, even the fuel isnt to bad for me. but its got 30GW output so yea, boost your outputs dude

I like the ratios for the thorium reaction. stone is worthless except for camo and gravity cannon projectiles, so it's great to have something else to use it for. If you are getting your oxygen from ice you will still have enough left over to make a lifetime of thorium.

@Master Obelawe, did you mean "Are we really using thorium in game?" if so, then, yes. You have to refine stone and a little ice to make thorium ingot to use in these reactors.

hi im new but let me ask you noob question we realy using the thorium in game ?

try and delete mod and redownload it, smallship small reactor output is 1.8x normal power output, which is 500kW output for normal, and 1.8mW for rank 2
