Yes. You also need to be better at using its strange editor than I am.

Take your time, just don't let the thread die.

Successor thread? Link meh.

As to the gold/lead question, the only real difference I know of, at least in reality, is color and chemical behavior, to wit: Gold doesn't have any, but lead's poisonous and can corrode.

Also, these being dwarves, gold platemail? It'd work just as well, if not better than lead.

Ah, yes. Possibly you could use it for reactor-room walls, to help stop the layer of lead bricks from melting. {If a living thing has to worry about direct heat damage from a nuclear reactor, they probably won't care for very long.}

Well, if you don't know the list of symptoms, severe radiation poisoning causes rapid hair loss, skin blisters, sunburn up to eleven, neurological decay, bone brittleness, nausea, internal bleeding, eventual necrosis and probably some other stuff I didn't remember.

Also, mining and refining uranium ores is a radiation hazard to workers, just less so, plutonium and a variety of other, vastly more hazardous, and in a few cases quite useful elements are only created in nuclear reactors.  And unless raising temperature is hard, my idea should be fairly simple, since it's basically just standard water generators, but with steam instead.

Well, I don't actually know very much about RAW modding, but I do know actual nuclear fission reactors are effectively horribly dangerous steam engines. So, rather than a building that makes power, you could have a building that becomes very, very hot and begins consuming fuel from storage when activated via a lever, thereby heating liquid in the area to become pressurized steam, which in turn can run though turbines, which actually make power. That being effectively how reactors work, though some more complex fuel mechanics would need to happen, as well as both radiation and meltdown stuff.

Whoa, this isn't dead? Awesome.
