Nuclear Reactor (Below Zero)

The Nuclear Reactor processes Uraninite Crystal-based Reactor Rods into Energy for use by a Seabase. The Nuclear Reactor is constructed with the Habitat Builder, and can only be placed in the center of a Multipurpose Room or on a centerpiece in a Large Room. While operational, the Nuclear Reactor will continuously hum.

The Nuclear Reactor generates energy at a rate of 250 power per minute (4.166667 per second) until all installed Reactor Rods are filled. It will only fill one Reactor Rod at a time. Each Reactor Rod can store a maximum of 625 energy. It takes 150 seconds to fill each rod. A Nuclear Reactor can hold four Reactor Rods, for a total of 2500 energy.

When power is being consumed at the base, the Nuclear Reactor will not drain until all other energy sources are depleted. Once the Reactor Rods are fully consumed, they will leave behind Depleted Reactor Rods. These must be disposed of in a Nuclear Waste Disposal.

Recipe
The blueprint for this module is acquired by scanning the Nuclear Reactor in Research Base Omega or the second segment of the Crashed Ship in the Lilypad Islands. It is crafted with the Habitat Builder.
