Skallabjorns Improvised Nuclear Warhead

Sept 2 2018 - updated - changed model to small block spherical gravity generator... looks more nuke bomb-ish

Skallabjorn Space Systems - Brining Viking Know how to the NEW Space Race

So, your out there, in the dark, and suddenly WHAM, the pirates hit you yet again.

OR

You have several tonnes of rock between you and that mother load of Gold.

You need some powerful BANG but normal arms or explosives wont do. You have nothing in the blueprints of major strength.

But you do, you know how to make small nuclear reactors.

Most of what goes into these things is to keep them UNDER control. You want it to go OUT of control on cue! With abit of tinkering, reprogramming of controls and the right fuel rod, you have a small tactical nuke!

These are the blueprints for the new fuel rod / component you need to build a reactor that can DELIBERATELY OVERLOAD!

Mod adds Improvised Nuclear Warhead Small Block and and Nuclear Charge Assembler Component.

THE REAL SCIENCE AND MATH

Calculated out to roughly 0.0015 Kilo Tons Yield based on real world calculation converting watt hours to kilotons ( 1 MW hour per Uranium ingot in the game is base line ). The yield is slightly higher on paper but I adjusted to allow for "crudeness" of the unit being assembled in the field so to speak.

Based on the known mathematical calculations for magnitude to blast effect I will be re balancing the blast radius based on the above megatonage. But the blast diameters based on the math are as follows

Air blast radius ( widespread destruction ) 845 m
fireball radius of ground contact explosion 40-50 m
fireball duration 0.2 seconds
ionizing radiation radius 908 m

Thus the blast diameter on this mod will be doubling plus

Hope this satisfies those requesting additional balance. This game is physics heavy and this is the real world physics of this megatonage tho I'm not giving it a 900 m radius that's way too much for the game.

April 30, 2018 Yield ( and thus fuel required ) increased by 66 %, a bigger boom :D Nuclear Flash effect has been enhanced.
