Enriched Uranium

Enriched Uranium is an element item used in advanced nuclear production chains. It functions as a fuel/input for two dedicated buildings: the Research Reactor and the Blastshot Maker. Its role is narrowly defined by those building interactions rather than by general processing or crafting recipes.

When fed to a Research Reactor, Enriched Uranium is converted into hot steam. This conversion is the Research Reactor’s primary output when supplied with Enriched Uranium, and the hot steam is intended for use in systems that consume high‑temperature steam. Alternatively, Enriched Uranium can be consumed by a Blastshot Maker to produce Nuclear Warheads. These two endpoints — hot steam production and warhead manufacture — are the documented uses for Enriched Uranium.

• Feed Enriched Uranium to a Research Reactor when your immediate need is high‑temperature steam rather than weapon production. The Reactor’s output is hot steam rather than direct electrical or explosive products.
• Use Enriched Uranium with a Blastshot Maker when the goal is to create Nuclear Warheads for ordinance; the Blastshot Maker consumes Enriched Uranium to produce those warheads.
• Enriched Uranium’s utility is defined by which specialized building it is routed to; plan logistics and storage so Enriched Uranium reaches the intended building without being diverted.
• Because Enriched Uranium is used only by those specific machines, prioritize supply lines according to whether your colony needs steam for industrial processes or warheads for defense/offense.
