1 year ago Since I am just feeding the values into the game, the bug likely exists in the game, not the mod.
You're right though, based on the 720 seconds per year, 18000 at 1 x it should last 25 in-game years or 300 real life minutes. I think the game may set a minimum consumption of 1 per building per year... At 3 x this is 3 per building per year.

Hi again! I think there is a bug or unknown feature about plutonium fuel cycle. As the PU reactor shows, "3X or FullPower" PU reactor cycle is "28800 Water + 1 PU rod = 28800 SteamHi /6000 game time". But there is a huge difference between in-game reality. Problem is, when PU rod cycle starts, the green cycle bar starting point is almost at the end. You can see in the screenshots. Somehow PU rods are not being used efficiently. Normally, 1 PU rod should run a 3X reactor for /6000 game time, meaning 100 months = 8.3 years. But as you can see in the screenshots, a single PU reactor consumes 3 PU rod per year. It's about 25X faster consumption than normal values. Maybe game engine somehow limits a cycle life.
Also, as a 2nd issue, somehow PU cycle "28800 Water + 1 PU rod = 28800 SteamHi /6000 game time" converts abnormally to /60 time, as you also can see in the screenshots, it shows 281,3 instead of 288.
Thanks for the mod again, have a great day!
