Nuclear Bombs #80

Open SuperDoggo opened 4 years ago

SuperDoggo commented 4 years ago

Nuclear weapons should be added to the mod, since we have nuclear fission now, we could make nuclear bombs. we would use materials such as: Plutonium-239/Uranium-235 which would cause an explosion, releasing large-distance radiation in the process. We also would possess ability to make thermonuclear warhead, causing giant explosions. But these weapons would need to be of complicated construction (Deuterium, Tritium, Uranium, Plutonium, chemical explosive etc). (I also posted empty issue by accident earlier [SORRY! ;-;])

If we're going for realistic effects, the bomb would first release an immense flash of radiation lasting for a single tick, but powerful enough to potentially deliver multiple Sieverts to entities in the area (the amount delivered would fall with distance), along with a massive burst of heat that ignites everything flammable in the area. Then a shockwave would radiate outwards knocking down walls and such. There wouldn't be much of a crater unless the bomb exploded directly against the ground, as the force of the explosion would be reflected upwards. Edit: There is supposed to eventually be a Mekanism Defense that may have this sort of thing.

currently you can just nuke a small area by using the regular reactor and overheating it way too much without any cooling at all

this would be awesome
