Actualiciation! Sorry if i write them bad, im from mexico. Note: i will no make a nuclear reactir because i dont know if the game includes electicity and for what is used. Unradioactive jetpack: 23 iron bars 12 uranium piece 13 undradioactive uranium bar. Used to fly, the fuel is uranium. New armor! PhazonSuit Helmet 104 defense PhazonSuit chestplate 215 defense PhazonSuit Boots 59 defense I am thinking the crafting of the phazon suit but i think that will be much but much expensive. Uranium beam: 37 Uranium Piece 2 infected flower 1 uranium excalibur Like a gun . Makes 37 damage Phazon beam 1 uranium beam 10 diamonds 204 uranium piece Is the best weapon that you can have in the uranium. Xdddd 210 damage. PLUTONIUM!! You need to create the advances time acelerator. Time acelerator 37 unradioactive uranium bar. With that you have plutonium Plutonium shard: 67 Plutonium bars Used to explode with right click NUKE: 37 Radioactive uranium bars 100 plutonium bar 10 infected flower The nuclear explosive is incoming! Explodes 600 blocks for bomb.
Uranium is only ment for powering machines, to have it with a sword would be very fragile, and you wouldn't be able to touch it.
Albiet very inventive, yeah I don't think I'd wanna be wearing a uranium ANYTHING, bad way to die! haha But as a source of power, that'd be really cool, and could bring in the possibility of having to wear the proper gear to handle it and it being a very "Finn"icky material to deal with would be a good risk vs. reward material to work with.
Considering there are radiation suits and rad resistance, then radioactive substances should be in the game.
You sure it should be 37 'Uranium Piece'? Aint that a bit too much? I suggest to adjust the dmg to [30 + 7 vs armored]! Would be way more balanced this way.
Not to bring in some real info to down on anyone, but Uranium is fairly useless until you refine it. This is a fairly intensive process, but refined uranium is good mostly for radioactive purposes and it's the refined form of Uranium that comes to mind for most people as the green goop in barrels with trefoils on them from comic books. Once depleted, well depleted Uranium is like a super-dense version of lead. Good for ballast weights and munitions, specifically armor penetrators. It also makes good armor plates when layered with other materials because of it's extreme density(example of Chobham tank armor: Steel/ceramics - Kevlar -Depleted Uranium plate - Kevlar -Steel/ceramics). The rest of the stuff like the yellow-ish Uranium glass that glows under UV light and whatnot is just theoryland-fun stuff that isn't practical. EDIT: spelling fixes
So long as its depleted uranium otherwise you will need a radiation suit to not kill yourself along with whatever is trying to kill you. Personally I think using uranium for melee weapons/armor and even building material is a big stretch even if it is depleted.
Depleted Uranium for armor is not much of a stretch if it's a composite armor made of layers. Melee weapons are a stretch, basically making a lead sword. Yeah. But for munitions it's perfect, I sure hope that if you use projectile weapons you have to craft your ammo by the box.
Sure in a composite since very little would actually be uranium but a full suit of pure uranium would be pointlessly heavy.
I'm imagining a yellowish greenish glowing armor. And the instruction manual that comes with it has a disclaimer on the first page "warning: wearing this suit longer than 5 minutes may cause tumors in random parts of your body!" followed by the same message in French and Spanish.
I would require refinement to use It could be used in: -weapons-as a form of powerful (but costly and rare) ammunition(make them eat uranium) -vehicles-(built in as armor for mechs etc) -Nuclear power source (requiring reactor) -Nuclear weapons fun (and why not use it as an ingredient in... say the H bomb: fission, to power fusion to power death muhahahahahahahahah)
Lol Uranium bombs would be so cool and Nucular Reactors I like the idea but what about a DEATHRAY every week in starbound it recharges and fires!
DU is dull grey in color. Uranium also has the exceedingly large problem of being pyrophoric. In use as armor, the practical result would be that the first high energy impact would ignite the armor. Also, Cherenkov radiation is a dull blue/violet. Radioactive materials do not glow green. /buzzkill
