Radioisotope Generator

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:
- Radioactivity level of the item — the more radioactive it is, the more power it produces
- Quantity of items — stacking multiple items multiplies the production
Compatible Items
Any radioactive item works. Check the Radiation page to see which items emit radiation. The most efficient ones are:
Polonium 210Highly Radioactive
Plutonium 239Highly Radioactive
Uranium 235Radioactive
Spent FuelRadioactive
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.
