Plutonium fuel rods!!
So about two weeks ago, made a post about finishing my uranium fuel rod tower. Since then, I've turned the reactors on and started producing waste. Today, I finished up my train lines and turned my plutonium fuel rod tower on! I need to decorate the building and the train lines too, but that's the easy part.
I'm very proud to say that, after two hours of monitoring just to make sure, I'm producing 1.6/minute at 100% efficiency, completely utilizing my uranium waste! I'm letting my belts fill with plutonium rods tonight before I turn these reactors on, and then I can finally get back to working on phase 5.
Having over 250 machines, 3 trains, 32 reactors, and actual hours of pen and paper math come together like this properly, at 100% efficiency is actually an amazing feeling. Like I had my boyfriend hop on call to witness it just so I'd have someone to word vomit to about how stoked I was.
Now, I don't have ficsonium unlocked yet, probably won't for a good long while, but if I am figuring right, my 16 plutonium reactors should be enough to get 8 ficsonium reactors up and running and have a complete no-waste nuclear power facility. I cannot wait to get there. The 200-ish hours I've spent working on this was SO worth it.
