About this build

A 2 by 2 nuclear power plant: four reactors with heat exchangers and steam turbines, which the author estimates at about 0.5 GW. With the neighbour bonus, four reactors in a square each get +300% heat, which makes this the most common first nuclear layout. It has 814 buildings in a 52 by 63 tile area.

Before you place it

  • Clear a space of at least 52 × 63 tiles.
  • It works in the base game without Space Age.
  • It includes roboports, so it can extend your logistic network and let robots build the rest.
