Alex's Caves: Enriched
An addon for Alex's Caves that changes how you obtain and craft nuclear bombs, as well as improving the effects of nukes on the environment.
An addon for Alex's Caves that changes how you obtain and craft nuclear bombs, as well as improving the effects of nukes on the environment.
WARNING: It is recommended to turn OFF item drops from the nuke in Alex's Caves configs! Also setting the nuke radius in Alex's Caves to
6or higher is recommended—the explosions have been optimized for larger radii.
Dependencies: Citadel, Patchouli, Cloth Config, Kotlin For Forge, and Alex's Caves (of course)
To get started, craft a guidebook using a book and alexscaves:uranium (Requires Patchouli). There is also EMI support for the new recipes and in-world block transmutations.
This mod adds:
Spoiler
- Enriched uranium, rod, block
- Overhauled nuclear explosion
- Uranium enrichment process
- Rocket launcher and rocket types
- Uranium arrow
- Uranium candy
- New types of nukes (Mini-nuke, Neutron bomb, Black hole bomb)
- Nuka Cola
- Raygun MkII (And gamma variant)
- Flamethrower
- Railgun
How to enrich uranium:
Spoiler
Smelt uranium blocks in an Alex's Caves nuclear furnace to get a Block of Salted Uranium. Then put that block in a Centrifuge and wait (will take a while).
Smelting uranium will leak radiation in the surrounding area so get your hazmat suit on to make sure the nuclear furnace doesnt overheat!
!Instructions on assembling the centrifuge: 4 centrifuge tops on a centrifuge base, then power the base. Each slot has independent 1/72000 chance of enrichment. Comparator output can be taken out of bottom block for fullness of output
Server side performance settings:
Spoiler
Note explosions have been optimized compared to Alex's Caves. For weaker hardware, you can try the following settings, in order of greatest to least impact:
- Turn off "Create glowing irradiated air" in nuclear explosion config (glowing air may cause light updates and significantly increased memory usage)
- Reduce explosion radii for neutron bomb, black hole bomb, mini-nuke (nuke follows Alex's Caves)
- Set effect cloud duration to 0 in nuclear explosion config
You may use this in modpacks!
