Alex's Caves: Enriched - Enhanced Nuclear Capabilities
This addon for the Alex's Caves mod fundamentally changes how nuclear weapons are obtained and crafted, while significantly improving the environmental impact of nuclear explosions.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to disable item drops from nuclear explosions in Alex's Caves settings! Also, setting the explosion radius in Alex's Caves to 6 or higher is advisable - explosions have been optimized for larger radii.
Required mods: Citadel, Patchouli, Cloth Config and, of course, Alex's Caves
To get started, craft a guidebook using a book and alexscaves:uranium (requires Patchouli). There is also EMI support for new recipes and in-world block transformations.
What this mod adds:
- Enriched uranium, rods, and blocks
- Overhauled nuclear explosion
- Uranium enrichment process
- Rocket launcher and various rocket types
- Uranium arrows
- Uranium candy
- New types of nuclear weapons (Mini-nuke, Neutron bomb, Black hole bomb)
- Nuka Cola drink
- Raygun MkII (and gamma variant)
- Flamethrower
- Railgun
How to enrich uranium:
Smelt uranium blocks in a nuclear furnace from Alex's Caves to obtain a Block of Salted Uranium. Then place this block in a Centrifuge and wait (this will take some time).
Smelting uranium causes radiation leaks in the surrounding area, so put on a protective suit to ensure the nuclear furnace doesn't overheat!
Performance settings for servers:
Explosions have been optimized compared to Alex's Caves. For weaker hardware, you can try the following settings, in order from greatest to least impact:
- Disable "Create glowing irradiated air" in nuclear explosion configuration (glowing air may cause lighting updates and significantly increase memory usage)
- Reduce explosion radii for neutron bomb, black hole bomb, mini-nuke (standard nuke follows Alex's Caves settings)
- Set effect cloud duration to 0 in nuclear explosion configuration
Can be used in modpacks!
