Smaller Reactor inventories.

This Mod reduces the amount of Uranium Ingots you can store in the reactors.
All other attributes stay the same.
This mod only affects newly build reactors.

In my opinion the default Inventory sizes of the vanilla Reactors are quite imbalanced.
With a single full Uranium ingot load, you can let a reactor run at full power for up to 200 days (realtime!)

On the other hand in survival mode it is nearly impossible to fill up a single large reactor with regularly mined and refined Uranium ingot.
For a large grid large reactor you need 8 000 liter or 153 846 kg of Ingots.
To produce this would you need to mine 15 384 615 kg of uranium ore,
which then would take over 30 769 refinery hours (3.5 years) to refine without modifikators.

It's like filling a well from a dripping spigot.
Now there are mods that, let's say, make the spigot bigger. But those are not addressing the general problem.

That is why I made this mod to reduce the reactor inventory sizes.

The modified reactor can hold now (at realistic inventory size setting):
Large Grid:
Large Reactor 375 liter (7212 kg) Uranium ingots
Small Reactor 19.5 liter (375 kg) Uranium ingots

Small Grid:
Large Reactor 19.5 liter (375 kg) Uranium ingots
Small Reactor 0.625 liter (12 kg) Uranium ingots

With a full inventory those can now provide energy at full power for:
Large Grid:
Large Reactor 1 day and 0:02 hours
Small Reactor 1 day and 1:12 hours

Small Grid:
Large Reactor 1 day and 1:13 hours
Small Reactor 1 day and 1:02 hours

Other values and blocks are not touched.
So you can still realize insane reactor endurances by just connecting a Cargo Containers to the reactors.
