Suggestion: Alternative method to build nuclear weapons
I've recently finished a game with this mod, ended with a full type X, all weapons researched alongside most upgrades, however what struck me was what was needed to produce a nuclear warhead. 240 units of plutonium, 24 kilograms. A realistic price, but a price out of reach from all but the most ridiculously late game colonies. I suggest not to reduce the price of warheads, but to allow us to obtain them via production of Highly Enriched Uranium. It would be very expensive on the uranium end, but a quicker, perhaps less efficient, way to build nukes.

you produce plutonium by processing spent fuel, to produce plutonium quickly you use the advanced reactors which have double the conversion ratio, burn the fuel up on full power and process it once its fully spent to get the highest yield, if you want to burn up fuel even faster you can change the settings

I know how it works, hell I even launched one, however what I meant is I feel it would be better to simply get a method that, although power hungry and inefficient, produces enough to get a nuclear warhead whenever you feel like a good old nuclear war without waiting months upon months just to get the plutonium you need.
