Version 2 (4/21/2025) Updated for Space Age (but does not require it)
This facility consumes these resources:
- Uranium ore (express belt)
- Iron plates (requester chest)
- Used up uranium fuel cell (requester chest)
To create these products
- Uranium fuel cell (passive provider chest)
- Split belt of U-235 and U-238
- Surplus U-235 (passive provider chest)
- Surplus U-238 (passive provider chest)
Features:
- Optimally beaconed
- Can be tiled horizontally
- Additional belts of uranium can be input from the side (shown)
- Used up uranium fuel cell output is given priority (no backups)
- Surplus U-238 is buffered automatically during the initial Kovarex bootstrapping phase
- A spare requester chest is there to accept surplus U-235 and U-238 to speed up the bootstrapping process (player deposits these items manually)
- No circuit logic
This work builds on ideas from vasek7 (forum user) and Garret Cyber (who posted this https://factorioprints.com/view/-KjmRXj1uY-0VKIPzJuB)
