[Discontinued] Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators

Discontinued: Thank you all for your support but this is an old and underdeveloped mod, there are many similar mods on the workshop that are probably maintained more!

Medium Power Generator with infinite lifetime, geared at small rovers, lighting, and remote outposts.

Hello engineers! This is the Radioisotope Thermo-electric Generator or 'RTG' for short. This is a simple, cheap, yet useful reactor-like generator which generates a fair amount of power to supply your small rovers, outposts, beacons, and whatever you can make that can survive off the power output. No fuel required, no maintenance needed, just build and your ready to go!

HOW IT WORKS:
The RTG is a real technology. Real space missions utilize this to generate power during long-duration missions.

It works by harnessing large amounts of heat from a decaying radioactive substance known as a GPHS.

COMES IN:
Small Grid 1x1x1 - Power Output: 152 kW
Small Grid - Power Output: 780 kW
Small Grid Cased - Power Output: 780 kW
Large Grid Tier 1 - Power Output: 900 kW
Large Grid Tier 1 Cased - Power Output: 900 kW
Large Grid Tier 2 - Power Output: 3.70 MW
Large Grid Tier 2 Cased - Power Output: 3.70 MW

How to craft a GPHS for RTGs:
Smelt enough Plutonium 238 pellets from Uranium Ore at Large Refinery,
Get other needed ingots and materials,
Go to a Large Assembler and make your General Purpose Heat Source Canisters to put into your RTG!
When you grind down any of the RTGs, it will turn the GPHS canisters into scrap metal.
