Uranium, Plutonium, and Solarium.. What are they used for?

Anyone know what Uranium Plutonium and Solarium are used for? i have made them into their rods but is there any use for them currently?

 

As far as i know Plutonium works as fuel ( 6 per ore ) but thats about it.
I"m guessing they are future ore tiers that aren't implemented yet.

 

Solaruim sounds quite si-fi....y? so I guess it used for some high tech weapons or armour.
As for the other two, why don't we just burn them like coal....
10 mins later: BAD IDEA! (but really,y they're likely to be very efficient fuel resources, just watch the giger counter)

 

I wouldn't mind using these in other forms, not just armor or fuel, but to craft other useful things for bases/housing and so on.

 

uhhhhhh, uranium armor? I think your space GP might want a word with you........

 

Just saying things could be combined to make unique things. Never know. Maybe it could make you glow.

 

I like this concept - maybe not with the gamma-radiation spewing material - a system where you can modify past armours with different attributes depending on their tier. Such as the smaller tier armours not being able to have a high value modification.

 

Well I was thinking, maybe solar power for some use or another.

 

There is already the toxic backpack to convert sunlight into energy though, but a modular system for electrical energy comes to mind, perhaps?

 

The possibilities. OH MY!

 

Here is what i know from personal experience. Uranium, Plutonium and Solarium are fuels. They rank in that order. That, i believe, is all that is known at this time.

 

i'm guessing fuel. For starships just now.
Hopefully in future they could be used to power emplaced base generators, and maybe portable personal generators too (energy shielding!)

 

DId no one responding read the patch notes? They are all fuel guys.

 

Powered armor has to have some kind of power source right? A miniature nuclear power plant isn't too outside the bounds of reason.

 

All three work as fuel if you refine them into rods. Solarium Rods are the most efficient and most rare. Any of them are better than coal and Uranium seems to litter T10 worlds.

 

None of them have to be smelted into rods.

 

True. I forgot about that part.

But this now makes me wonder, are the rods more efficient than the raw ores? (Do you get more fuel from two ores or one rod?)
Or is the fact that you can use it in the ore form a glitch?

 

Rods are more efficient.

 

With the current build, uranium is best fuel source past like tier 5/6ish. It has no other use at the moment I believe. Plutonium is same I think. Don't smelt into rods, just save the ore and put it in your fuel thinger.

 

Solarium is the most efficient fuel source, only found on level 10 planets.
