About this Mod

About
An addon for Create and specifically Create:TFMG, where I wanted to add some nuclear energistics.
NOTE: right now this is a very early development experimental version, featuring only some basics, don't expect much from it. Bugs are totally present, so don't use it in your important worlds. The mod will be updated gradually.
The idea came to my mind after playing a lot with HBM Nuclear Tech + Techguns modpack on 1.12.2, which was the best. Then I somehow figured out, that there're no mods like them for new versions, even though there're some really nice mods like Create with its trains, or TACZ with its guns. So I thought, why not to make something based on them, designed specifically for hardcore survival with guns, eh?
So, that thing is intended to make your survival miserable bring some purpose to actually construct science-intense contraptions and use guns.
Dependencies
- Create+TFMG: mandatory. TFMG is a foundation you will want to have in order to advance in nuclear science.
- TACZ+SmartBrainLib: optional, but requires both at a time, not like "I install TACZ, but not SmartBrainLib". If you have both, that'll enable TACZ-related content such as NPCs, structures etc.
What's planned
- Nuclear reactor with all the corresponding equipment
- Radiochemistry
- Radiation + Contamination physics, some Toxicity
- Structures and NPCs around the world
What's done on current experimental version
- Simple radiation, no contamination
- Basic machinery to process uranium
- Basic NPCs
- Some equipment
Afterword
I don't know what to say here, just felt that it's necessary to have an afterword. I only hope I can edit this description with later updates.

Server lagging with Strontium – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Strontium consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
