Reactor Alternative

The Radioisotope Generator produces electricity from the radioactive decay heat of materials. No steam, no turbines — simple and compact.

Usage

Simply place a radioactive item into the generator. It immediately begins producing power. No configuration required.

Power Production

The power output depends on two factors:

Compatible Items

Any radioactive item works. Check the Radiation page to see which items emit radiation. The most efficient ones are:

Great Start

The Radioisotope Generator is ideal for early game power production without building a full reactor. Use your first uranium ores to get started.
