Mod revamp plan

Currently translating roadmap to issues -> GitHub Project.
Information is also being migrated to the wiki -> Project Wiki.

• Move to 1.16
• A new direction: Atomkraft
  • Remove odd ends
  • Uranium ore to fission
    • Uraninite Ore Processing
      • Uraninite Ore
      • Grinder
      • Crushed Uraninite
      • Acid leaching (H2SO4)
      • Force hexavalent oxidation with sodium Chlorate
      • DEHPA solvent extraction
      • Ammonia for precipitation
      • Yellowcake
      • Uranium Trioxide (ignite/smelt yellowcake 500°C air)
      • Uranium Dioxide (480°C hydrogen reduction)
    • Chicago Pile 1
      • Natural uranium dioxide pellets
      • Nuclear graphite bricks
        • Produced via the Acheson process.
        • Mixture of 50% quartz dust, 40% coke powder, 7% sawdust and 3% salt.
        • Heat in a graphite electrode furnace (SiC forms at 1600-2500°C (wikipedia) / 2700°C (Materials Handbook by François Cardarelli, p. 627))
        • Keep heating, and the silicon will vaporize leaving high purity graphite behind (US patent 568323)
      • Control rods (Cadmium based?)
      • Neutron detector
      • Criticality math (delayed and prompt)
      • Radiation
  • Advanced Uranium Processing
    • Uranium Tetrafluoride (UO2 + 4HF -> UF4 + H2O)
    • Natural Uranium Metal
      • Thermal reduction of halide compounds:
        • UF4 + Ca -> U + 2(CaF2) ... High cost for pure Ca, but simpler process
        • UF + 2Mg -> U + 2(MgF2) ... Low cost for pure Mg, but a more complex process
  • Natural Uranium Reactors
    • Heavy water
    • ...
  • Age of enrichment
    • UF6 (Fluorine Oxidation)
    • Gas Centrifuges
    • Enriched UO2 (IDR method: 200°C steam + H2 -> UO2 + HF)
    • HEU
    • Fuel Pellets
    • Fuel Rods
  • ...the abyss will also gaze into you
    • Prompt supercritical runaway
    • Demon core
    • For all who take the sword will perish by the sword
  • Production chain improvements
    • In-situ leaching
      • TBD
  • Modern Reactors
    • Reactor-grade enriched uranium
    • Plutonium
    • MOX

Project Setup Instructions

This is a MinecraftForge project (homepage, github).
See the Forge Documentation for more detailed instructions:
http://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/

Step 1:

• git clone <this repo>

Step 2: IntelliJ Setup

1. Open IDEA, select import project.
2. Select the build.gradle file on the import GUI.
3. Run gradlew genIntellijRuns in the project folder.
4. Refresh the Gradle Project if required.
5. To get Thermal Expansion & Co. in dev env:
   1. Create folder dev_mods in project root.
   2. Add the CoFH Core, Thermal Foundation, and Thermal Expansion jars.
      (Currently using versions 1.16.3-1.1.6)
   3. Gradle should take care of everything now.

• Nice to know gradle tasks:
  • gradlew --refresh-dependencies to refresh the local cache
  • gradlew clean to reset everything (code is untouched)
