✦AI summary21m

A balance patch focusing on increasing resource costs for Aluminum-based components and rebalancing Plutonium power generation and waste.

▲Buffs5

Heat SinkStandard Recipe:Reduced Copper Sheet requirement per Heat Sink.4.5→3 units
Plutonium Fuel Rod
- Standard Recipe:Plutonium Fuel Rods now produce four times as much power, significantly increasing energy efficiency.→4x
- Standard Recipe:Plutonium Waste production per generator has been halved, easing waste management.2→1 units/min
Non-fissile UraniumAlt Recipe:Reduced Nitric and Sulfuric Acid usage in the alternative recipe.→Reduced
Turbo Electric MotorAlt Recipe:Decreased the requirement for Electromagnetic Control Rods and Rotors.→Reduced

▼Nerfs13

Radio Control Unit
- Standard Recipe:Standard recipe now requires more casings per minute, increasing the resource cost of production.30→40 units/min
- Radio Control System (Alt):Alternative recipe now requires more Aluminum Casings.→Increased
Heat Sink
- Standard Recipe:The base production speed of Heat Sinks has been reduced.10→7.5 units/min
- Standard Recipe:Increased Alclad Sheet requirement per Heat Sink.4→5 units
- Cooling Device (Alt):Alternative recipe now requires more Heat Sinks.→Increased
Plutonium Fuel Rod
- Standard Recipe:The cost to produce Plutonium Fuel Rods has doubled.→2x
- Standard Recipe:Production rate has been halved.1x→0.5x
Encased Plutonium CellStandard Recipe:Output rate halved to align with the new Plutonium Fuel Rod production balance.1x→0.5x
Turbo Electric MotorAlt Recipe:Increased the requirement for Radio Control Units.→Increased
Aluminum Production
- Sloppy Alumina & Electro (Alt):Increased bauxite usage for the Sloppy Alumina & Electro alternative recipe.→Increased
- Alclad Casing (Alt):Increased the amount of Aluminum Ingots required.→Increased
- Heat Exchanger (Alt):Increased Aluminum Casing usage by 100%.1x→2x
- Heat Exchanger (Alt):Increased Rubber usage by 50%.1x→1.5x

✚Bug fixes1

Non-fissile UraniumStandard Recipe:Fixed a bug where Sulfuric and Nitric Acid requirements were swapped.Swapped→Corrected

◆Other changes5

Non-fissile UraniumAlt Recipe:Reduced the amount of water produced as a byproduct in the alternative recipe.→Reduced
Infused Uranium CellAlt Recipe:Now correctly uses raw Uranium instead of Uranium Pellets.Uranium Pellets→Uranium
Turbo Electric MotorAlt Recipe:Renamed from Turbo Rigour Motor to Turbo Electric Motor for clarity.Turbo Rigour Motor→Turbo Electric Motor
Aluminum Production
- Instant Aluminum Scrap (Alt):Adjusted water input and output values for better balance.→Adapted
- Pure Aluminum Ingot (Alt):Slightly increased both input and output rates while maintaining the same ratio.→Increased
