Overview

Atlantum Enrichment adds a complete nuclear-style processing chain to Techtonica, allowing players to refine raw Atlantum into highly valuable enriched Atlantum. The system features realistic risk mechanics including explosions, radiation zones, containment integrity management, and safety module systems.

This mod is designed for players who want a challenging, high-risk/high-reward gameplay experience with dangerous industrial processes.

Warning

ATLANTUM ENRICHMENT IS DANGEROUS!

• Facilities can malfunction and explode during operation
• Explosions create persistent radiation zones that damage nearby structures and players
• Enrichment chambers have containment systems that degrade over time
• Containment breaches cause immediate radiation leaks
• Radiation zones spread damage to all nearby facilities

Always install safety modules and monitor containment integrity!

Features

Facilities

Centrifuge

The first stage of the enrichment process - separates Atlantum isotopes from raw material.

| Property | Value |

|----------|-------|

| Input | Raw Atlantum |

| Output | Concentrated Atlantum (40%) + Atlantum Waste (50%) |

| Processing Rate | 2 units/second |

| Risk Level | LOW (0.5x base explosion risk) |

| Max Safety Modules | 2 |

| Max Health | 100 |

Storage Capacities:

• Raw Atlantum: 100 units
• Concentrated Atlantum: 50 units
• Waste: 50 units

Enrichment Chamber

The main enrichment process - converts concentrated Atlantum into highly valuable enriched Atlantum. This is the most dangerous facility.

| Property | Value |

|----------|-------|

| Input | Concentrated Atlantum |

| Output | Enriched Atlantum (20%) + Atlantum Waste (70%) |

| Processing Rate | 0.5 units/second |

| Risk Level | HIGH (1.5x base explosion risk) |

| Max Safety Modules | 4 |

| Max Health | 100 |

| Containment System | Yes (degrades during operation) |

Storage Capacities:

• Concentrated Atlantum: 50 units
• Enriched Atlantum: 20 units
• Waste: 100 units

Special Features:

• Containment integrity that degrades at 0.1 units/second during processing
• Safety modules reduce containment decay rate by 20% each
• Containment breach at 0% integrity causes immediate radiation zone
• Visual indicators show critical status when containment drops below 30%

Waste Processor

Safely handles radioactive waste produced by enrichment facilities.

| Property | Value |

|----------|-------|

| Input | Atlantum Waste |

| Output | Depleted Atlantum (80%) + Recovered Material (5%) |

| Processing Rate | 1 unit/second |

| Risk Level | MINIMAL (no explosions) |

| Max Health | 100 |

Storage Capacities:

• Waste: 200 units
• Depleted Atlantum: 100 units
• Recovered Material: 10 units

Notes:

• Depleted Atlantum is safe for disposal or composting
• Recovered Material can be recycled back into the production chain
• Destruction releases a small radiation zone

Safety System

Safety Modules

Safety modules are critical components that reduce explosion risk and improve facility stability.

| Effect | Value |

|--------|-------|

| Risk Reduction | 10% per module (configurable) |

| Containment Decay Reduction | 20% per module (Enrichment Chamber only) |

Installation Limits:

• Centrifuge: Maximum 2 safety modules
• Enrichment Chamber: Maximum 4 safety modules

Containment Integrity (Enrichment Chamber Only)

The Enrichment Chamber features a containment system that must be monitored:

• Maximum Integrity: 100%
• Decay Rate: 0.1 units/second during processing
• Critical Threshold:
