Production[edit]
Plutonium Cells are a by-product of processing 4 piles of Uranium Dust in an Industrial Centrifuge. One of the products is a single Tiny Pile of Plutonium Dust, four of which can be combined to produce one Plutonium Dust. Compressing the resulting Plutonium Dust into a Plutonium Ingot, and placing the ingot into an Automatic Canning Machine with an Empty Cell produces one Plutonium Cell.
Plutonium cells can also be produced by adding a piece of UU-Matter to Uranium Dust, compressing the resulting Plutonium Dust and so on.
Uses[edit]
Plutonium cell is used in Nuclear Reactors to produce energy. Without proper cooling it will cause the reactor to go into a meltdown stage where it explodes, leaving a huge crater for you to fill in assuming you survive.
Plutonium Cells produce twice as much energy and heat as Uranium cells (making it 20 EU/heat per tick, 40 EU/heat if next to 1 other Plutonium Cell, 60 EU/heat if next to 2 other Plutonium Cells, etc.) and they last twice as long. (This behaviour can be customized inside the config files) This results power generation of 8-40 million EU per cycle (5 hours and 34 minutes real time).
As plutonium cells generate a lot of heat, managing reactors containing plutonium is a bit tricky as it's harder to maximise the energy potential of each cell while trying to keep the reactor running for as long as possible.
