Introduction to Nuclear Mining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Factorio, nuclear power is a pivotal part of late-game progression, offering immense energy output essential for advanced automation. This comprehensive guide covers the technical aspects of nuclear mining, from extracting uranium ore to processing it using the Kovarex enrichment process, ensuring you have a sustainable supply of nuclear fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mining Uranium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Uranium Ore Extraction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To start with nuclear power, you need to mine uranium ore. Uranium patches are scattered throughout the world, emitting a distinctive green glow. Here\u2019s a step-by-step process for efficient uranium extraction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sulfuric Acid Supply<\/strong>: Transport sulfuric acid to the mining site using trains equipped with fluid wagons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Piping System<\/strong>: Pipe the sulfuric acid from the train to the miners. Regular electric miners automatically adapt to uranium mining by incorporating tanks for sulfuric acid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Miner Placement<\/strong>: Ensure each miner has access to sulfuric acid. The acid flows internally through connected miners, so external piping is not necessary for each individual miner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Power Supply<\/strong>: Provide adequate power to the miners to start the extraction process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Transporting Uranium Ore<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once extracted, the uranium ore needs to be transported back to your base. Use trains with cargo wagons to load the ore and bring it to your processing facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Uranium Processing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Initial Processing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Back at the base, set up a uranium processing station with centrifuges to convert uranium ore into usable products:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Centrifuge Setup<\/strong>: Place centrifuges and select the uranium processing recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Resource Input<\/strong>: Each centrifuge requires ten uranium ore per cycle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Output Products<\/strong>: The process yields two primary outputs:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
