Description
The Deanorium Reactor Core is a specialized fuel designed for the Micro or Modular Reactor, optimized for high-output power generation in late-game factories. It provides high energy density, comparable to the DT Reactor Core, and produces no radioactive waste, simplifying logistics. The reactor supports three modes: Power Only, Steam Only, and Power and Steam, with performance varying by overclocking and heat levels.

Usage
To use the Deanorium Reactor Core, place it in the fuel slot of a Modular Reactor. The reactor operates in three modes:
-
Power Only Mode: Outputs power to the grid. At 100% overclocking (with Shield Mk3 and Cooling Rings) it produces 5000MW. At 150% overclocking it generates 7500MW energy.
-
Steam Only Mode: Produces Compressed Steam using internal heat. At 100% overclocking it generates xxx m³/min and at 150% overclocking xxx m³/min Compressed Steam.
-
Power and Steam Mode: Gives out half of both output values from above. At 100% overclocking, it produces 2500 MW and xxx m³/min of Compressed Steam, At 150%, it produces 3750 MW and xxx m³/min of Compressed Steam.
Tips: — Use the Deanorium Reactor Core in conjunction with the Modular Reactor to maximize power output and efficiency. Ensure proper heat management by using Cooling Rings and Shield Mk3 to prevent overheating during high overclocking.
Advanced Information
The Deanorium Reactor Core’s performance depends on overclocking and heat:
-
Power Output: 5000 MW at 100% (up to 12 500 MW at 250%).
-
Fuel Consumption: 0.25 core/min at 100% (0.625 cores/min at 250%).
-
Heat Management: Heat gain scales with overclocking. At 100% overclocking with Shield Mk3 and Cooling Rings, heat gain is 66.7% per cycle. At 150% overclocking, heat gain is at 100% per cycle. Overclocking above 150% will eventually cause an Emergency Shutdown due to overheating.

Energy per Core: 1 200 000 MJ.
