SMRs: Control Fix
Small modular nuclear reactors designed to be deployed off-grid at remote sites. SMRs are manufactured as sealed units with a fixed energy capacity, including both fuel and generator components. This means they can be quickly setup anywhere but once depleted must be returned to base for refurbishment. Forked and corrected error in control.lua and added settings for efficiency.
Description
::BEGIN_NOTE:: Forked and updated this mod to fix a bug that caused a game crash on placement of SMR. Error was in control.lua line 97-ish in regards to pushing on an undefined queue. ::END_NOTE::

Pros Small footprint, quick and easy to deploy in the wilderness High energy density compared to solar or accumulators Cons Limited energy supply rates Uranium fuel cells for life span required in advance Eventually becomes depleted and must be refurbished Efficiency penalty compared to running power lines from main grid And since this is Factorio, Cons are just another person's Pros :-)
Other notes 5MW 10GJ / 25MW 100GJ / 50MW 500GJ Supply priority is tertiary, same as accumulators, so an SMR on the main electricty grid is like a high-capacity accumulator that can't recharge. SMRs retain fuel level if picked up and moved. Fuel reserve is visible as a health bar when in an inventory. Current fuel level can be read by the circuit network, like an accumulator.
