Zero-maintenance Uranium Processing Plant
This Uranium Processing Plant prioritizes the production of Uranium-235 in the fastest way possible by starting the Kovarex enrichment process across all the Kovarex centrifuges before buffering them with additional Uranium-235s. The plant recycles excess uranium for a truly, zero-maintenance approach. Connect the inputs and outputs and the system will run without human intervention. This blueprint book provides flexibility in setting up the plant in incremental steps or all at once; build what you are able to.
Features
- Tileable
- Hassle-free (recycle excess uranium to prevent backup)
- Auto Power shutoff during recycle stage
- Fastest way to produce Uranium-235s
- LED indicators (White = collecting. Yellow = producing. Green = All centrifuges running Kovarex, optimizing centrifuges. Cyan = Recycling)
- Produces uranium bullets, nuclear fuel, and manages uranium fuel cells.
- Belt based plant. I think Factorio loses its "magic" when shipping materials everywhere with logistic bots.
- Request items to build the plant with the "Request Materials" blueprint.
Important
Please make sure the filtered stack inserter taking the Uranium-235s out of the Kovarex centrifuge has a stack size of 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, or 10. The blueprint is set to be 10, but it won't be set that high if you don't have the required research for it.
