Afaik, the reason radioactive power is considered better is becasue fusion harvesters can harvest a lot more of it than wind or solar power. The quality of the power, regardless of which kind, is dependent on the potential energy rating. The higher this is, the fewer units of power you have to put in to get your desired amount. All harvesters can use any of the 3 types of power.

also you only pay maintenance on them / dont have to pump them full of energy for them to work

Power has a PE rating, which effects the acual amount of energy you have. A resource with a PE of 500 is one to one, one unit of power is one unit of energy. A PE of 1000 would be two units of energy for each unit of power. Wind energy never excedes a PE of 500, while higher class radioactives can go to 1000. Also all power harvestors take the same amount of maitance, but fusions pull up much more than wind or solor generators.

Just a note, on using a mineral tool to find Radioactive. If you try to sample, you will be given a warning, if you disengage the safety, and sample anyway, you can take some serious damage. Generally the damage goes up based on the Class of the radioactive, and the concentration of the spot. If you absolutely need to know the stats, do it on a low concentration area (however, I rely on swgcraft for this info now).

I once sampled a High PE class 7, then whe I was tracking down a nice spot, I accidentally sampled again on a 76% spot. I took near 200 wounds in all the bars. However, if you disengage the safety I now recommend switching to another tool and taking a sample. I am pretty sure this will re engage them and you won't accidentally sample the nuke.

PS can anyone explain why a fusion reactor generate Fissionable material? Just one of those SWG mysteries I guess.

Thanks for the answers people, but I havea fewmore questions:

1. OQ has no effect on power?

2.What kind of survey tool do u need to harvest radioactive, is it mineral, chemical, or gas? Or is there another one I don't know about?

3. I saw fusion generators on my server with BER 13 and 130k storage (i think), is 122k a good price? or rather expensive?

Thx so much for the help,

1. No, its just PE.

2. Radioactive is under minerals

3. iirc a fusion takes about 26000 resources to make, so for 122k that brings it to around 4.7 cpu which is a fair price. Im not positive, but I think the top ber is 14 now. Also, it depends on your server's economy and going rate.

Or just throw down a personal harvy. They only cost a few hundred, and can just be destroyed afterwards.
