I have a med mineral extractor on some radioactive stuff..and I see that I can use it as power in my other extractors? how effeicients is this ..is this better or worse than a solar generator? and are there any downsides or upsides to using radioactive material for power?

thanks for the help!

well.I put like 700 radiaactive in one harvester..but I can't seem to do anything with the last 500..and when I try to put power in it says I have 1356 ..but it doesn't work ..

Radioactive power performs the same as solar or wind. Instead of a wind generator or solar generator, you can use a fusion-ion gen to retreive the resource. Pulling it with a mineral harvester does work, but you have to put energy back in the harvester to run it, whereas the fusions just get paid maintenance.

As far as depositing it, you deposit it the same way you would with any power source.

I wouldnt extract nukes with mineral harvesters though. You are going to have to return a perctenage of the power that you pull AND pay maintenance, which I am willing to bet is much less effecient than dropping a windmill or solargen.
