Thorium

    Thorium is an element 4 times more abundant than uranium that is basically the holy grail of nuclear reactors, I have been making multiple types of reactors in the game recently and I was dissapointed at the impossibility of making a Thorium based LFTR or similar types of reactors, Thorium is a fertile element that given neutrons will eventually decay into uranium 233 and if a flow of neutrons is stopped the reaction also stops, hence why I always wanted this to be able to make a nuclear reactor that can autoshutdown in case of an emergency.

    Nah, I don't build much reactors, but why not?

    How do i get thorium in the powder toy is it a mod?

    this element is very similar to PLUT, which decays to URAN, in addition to the fact that the act of the reactor heating and evaporating the water is similar to the POLO, which heats up and emits neutrons. I would like you to consult this link to improve your elem's resourcefulness:

    have a good times.

     Or don't, due to ultimata's INST lag, and try and get Thorium into the base game, which is what this thread is about.
