Nuclear fuel is a type of fuel. It has the highest energy density and vehicle bonuses of all the fuel types, providing an acceleration modifier of 250% (compared to rocket fuel's 180%). The vehicle top speed modifier (115%) is the same as for rocket fuel.

Nuclear fuel is made from rocket fuel and uranium-235, one of each to produce one unit of nuclear fuel.

Compared to rocket fuel, nuclear fuel not only gives a higher acceleration bonus, but also gives more than twelve times the energy output. This compensates for the inability of nuclear fuel to be stacked; a single unit of nuclear fuel provides more energy than a stack of ten rocket fuel.

Trivia

  • The fuel value of 1.21 GJ is a reference to the Back to the Future franchise, in which the DeLorean uses a nuclear reaction to generate "1.21 Jigawatts" of electricity. Ironically, Emmett Brown specifically refutes the idea that the DeLorean uses nuclear fuel; the energy of the reaction powers the flux capacitor that allows time travel, and in Part III he specifies the DeLorean itself runs on ordinary gasoline.

History

  • 0.17.0:
    • Relative fuel value of nuclear fuel doubled.
