Stackable Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR)

This is a late-game blueprint designed to theoretically stack over 12 FBR modules, with each module generating a maximum output of 240MW.

Personal Note: I built and test-ran this design myself before ultimately dismantling it (I even tore down my previous NR2 setup). I don't have any power shortages, and my solar power buffs are stacking higher and higher (currently nearing +100%). I honestly just have too much surplus power running around right now...


📦 Blueprint Components

  • 1. Blanket Fuel Plant: Focuses on manufacturing blanket fuel using depleted uranium or uranium ore powder. It also accepts plutonium and enriched uranium to produce core fuel.
  • 2. Temporary Core Fuel Plant: A temporary setup to kickstart the FBR if you didn’t stockpile plutonium from earlier nuclear stages. Can be safely dismantled after startup.
  • 3. FBR Reactor & Generator Set: Features a built-in basic nuclear waste processing system and matching generator sets.

⚙️ Operation Modes

  • Mode 1 (Depleted Uranium Focus): Supports up to 6 FBRs. One module runs at 3x Enrichment, while the rest run at 1x Enrichment.
  • Mode 2 (Plutonium Support): Every 1/min of plutonium supplied can support 2 FBRs (with enrichment turned off). Supports up to 8 FBRs maximum.
  • Mode 3 (Yellowcake Focus): Supports up to 12 FBRs running at 1x Enrichment.

🚀 Startup Guide

  1. With Plutonium: Supply plutonium, wait for both core fuel and blanket fuel to top off, then start the reactor.
  2. Without Plutonium: Place down the Temporary Core Fuel Plant. Once core fuel and blanket fuel are fully stocked, start the system and dismantle the temporary plant.
  3. Expanding Setup: To start a second FBR module, set an already running FBR to 3x Enrichment. It will begin producing the required core fuel for the next unit.

📌 Note:

  • The blueprint still includes the conveyor belts originally intended for plutonium and enriched uranium production. However, because I ended up building the FBR right next to the Space Center, those belts are currently left idle.
  • All pipelines have indicators. There is also an ultra-high pressure steam pipeline above the water pipeline, which you can use to produce hydrogen or water.image.png

P.S. Since I’m no longer using this FBR myself, please let me know in the comments if you run into any issues!
