Talk:Nuclear Reactor/@comment-24767209-20160218222704

Why would you use the nuclear reactor?

It takes the same space as 4 geothermals, which provide the same output as the nuke on max, with none of the radioactive explodey consequences! Geothermals don't require water or maintenance, and can be arranged more flexibly.

Sure, 4 geothermals take more crates than 1 nuke, but even on low-resource maps you can ship in a pretty much endless supply of crates from Earth. Is there any circumstance in which nukes are favourable over geotherms? Cosmogoblin (talk) 22:27, February 18, 2016 (UTC)
