Factorio - Compact Kovarex Enrichment
Raw
description.md

A simple implementation of Kovarex enrichment. The centrifuge sits between a belt of uranium-235 and a belt of uranium-238. It balances the belts by converting uranium-238 to uranium-235.

The blueprint includes two centrifuges, but using only one also works.

Advantages of this implementation:

  • Compact and space efficient.
  • Minimal management of the different uranium versions: just split into different belts.

Disadvantages:

  • On rare occasions, e.g. on a poorly timed energy outage, the uranium-238 recycling belt can get clogged, breaking the cycle. An alarm fires to notify you of this event. Clear the belt to unclog.
  • The same alarm can fire when enrichment stops because the uranium-235 belt is blocked. Clearing the recycling belt will silence the alarm. Encrichment will resume when the uranium-235 belt has free space again.
