WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Uranium Fuel Cell Supply for Reactor Operation
A Nauvis uranium patch linked to sulfuric-acid-fed electric drills, centrifuges, and a uranium fuel cell production area.
Before you go
- Uranium processing researched and an operating uranium patch.
- Electric mining drills supplied with sulfuric acid and electricity.
- Centrifuges and separate routes or storage for U-235 and U-238.
- A fuel cell production area with an output destination.
Farming steps
- Connect sulfuric acid and power to electric drills on the uranium patch.
- Route mined uranium ore from the drills to centrifuges.
- Run ore through the centrifuges and identify the U-235 and U-238 outputs separately.
- Buffer or route each isotope so its stock remains visible.
- Connect the needed isotope supplies to uranium fuel cell production.
- Check that fuel cells leave the production area and reach their intended reactor supply point.
- Inspect isotope stock and ore delivery when fuel cell output slows; restore the failed upstream stage.
- Keep U-235 and U-238 in distinct routes so the fuel line receives the intended materials.
- Check acid delivery at the drills before troubleshooting a low centrifuge input.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat while ore, sulfuric acid, power, and processing capacity are available. Isotope stock is consumed by production and must be replenished through continued processing.
Common mistakes
- Attempting to mine uranium with a burner drill; use electric drills that accept sulfuric acid.
- Combining isotope routes without tracking which material reaches production; keep outputs distinct.
- Assuming buffered isotopes mean fuel cells are being made; check the production line and its output destination.
When to stop or switch
Continue while the reactor fuel supply needs replenishment; stop adding stock when the intended fuel cell reserve is adequate for the current operation.
