Josh is the sort of guy that would build an uranium enrichment center, a nuclear reactor and an orphanage on top of each other, normal logic doesn't apply to him

"This is like what if nuclear power was run the literal opposite way.." NOW you're getting how Josh works!

Just for your information, after this video Josh realized that he needed to get rid of the nuclear waste, and the way he found was very interesting. He thought he could throw the waste outside of the map into the void, but the game simply doesn't let you throw items there. So, to bypass this, he tamed dogs, filled them with nuclear waste, and then made the dogs throw themselves into the void for him :) really interesting method that I think could be explored in real life, I recommend you researching something about this

This game prioritizes gameplay over realism. The entire story is that its the far future and you are sent out by a company that doesn't care much about your safety to extract all the resources from a planet. The main focus of the game is building and optimizing factories, Josh made this video a month or two after they added nuclear power.

"Interesting, I wonder if he did it on purpose." You do not know Josh from Let's Game it Out.

Probably one of the least expected cross-over episodes. Thanks for your insights as always Mr. Folse!

I think the stereotypical yellow barrels come from the asse Endlager, an old salt mine in germany where they put nuclear waste in the 60s. It was a bad idea because now there is groundwater flowing into the mine and also the waste is in familliarly yellow steel barrels which started leaking due to careless handling of them. I think that's where this idea of the leaking yellow barrel came from

Power generation in Satisfactory (at the time this video was made) would be more akin to a redox flow battery. Plants essentially hold a charge like a capacitor until demand hits, then discharge with zero ramp up, while pushing supplies through, or just straight up consumption. I love how Tyler got into the theme of things by 2/3rds through and started making suggestions about how to maximize contamination lol.

"I wonder if he did it on purpose?" Oh, my sweet summer child...

The glowing green goo leaking out isn't a thing, but the 200L yellow drums are. They're used for low level and intermediate level waste. If you're curious how they got in the public consciousness, look up the Asse II mine in Germany where they improperly stored a lot of them.

If "a swift 3 hours later" made you laugh, I think one of his videos included something like "16 hours later"

You're right that raw uranium ore wont harm you, but consider that any dust that you might stir up from digging the ore could be radioactive, and you could breathe that in. Also, the tailings after you refine the ore can be radioactive as well, and can even spread contamination, like in Church Rock NM in 79.

There is a follow up with what he had to do with the waste called: I Used Drones to Make a Nightmare Factory Even Worse - Satisfactory It is two episodes later in the series.

Seeing this in my subscription box made this terrible day much more manageable! If you're worried about how this video from LetsGameItOut portrayed the nuclear industry, don't worry! He turns over a new leaf when he realized that he needed to stay alive inside his base to keep playing the game, so he started looking into ways to safely dispose of the nuclear waste!

The waste processing in this game is quite a bit more interesting then Josh showed. You turn your waste into plutonium fuel, either to create more power and waste. Or to shred it in the giant shredder. Uses particle accelerators too.

This is classic josh. Step 1: Explain the plan Step 2: Walk through the construction of one build Step 3: Take the build to absurdity Step 4: Push it even further to absurdity

Technically there was a design of control rods which did rotate. They were Beryllium oxide coated with a reflector on one side. To control the reactor you rotated the rods to expose more or less beryllium to the neutrons. They were used in nuclear rocket engines to control the rection rate.

6:24 I think they mean electromagnetically actuated control rods, but that's still a fuckin insane concept. Imagine the GIANT ASS ELECTROMAGNET YOU'D NEED TO PULL THAT UP.

They actually changed it from MWh to MW in the power graph in a later version, the game version that Josh is playing here is really old since it has the old power poles and no fluid pipes. Also, in the game, uranium and everything you make from it used to be non-deletable, meaning you'd have to figure out mass storage for spent fuel rods. But, in version 4, they actually introduced fuel reprocessing, and there you have a choice. You can make plutonium fuel rods out of it, and use those for power, but you'll have to store those spent fuel rods too. Or, you can dump the plutonium rods into something called AWESOME sink, which will give you coupons to purchase things like decor, like materials for foundations and walls, and all kinds of shapes to build your base out of.

one thing ive definitely learned from watching tyler's videos: do NOT eat or digest uranium

just so you know, there is some sci-fi tech tie-in stuff with the main character so the radiation damage in satisfactory may be related to the computer parts? not sure if that would be vulnrable to alpha decay but it might be something to consider. Also the crafting is abstracted: for example iron rods and screws are all it takes to make rotors

The words "Hey it's Josh from Let's Game it Out" are the most terrifying words in existence, he who utters them is a beacon of fear

Satisfactory is my absolute favorite game; it has so much logistical management and math. However, their portrayal of nuclear isn't all that accurate. That's mostly because the general story of the game is that you are actively disregarding the safety of the planet (and yourself), so it makes sense that you take the nuclear waste and just shove it somewhere, even if what it looks like is a "tad" inaccurate.

Thanks so much for watching! If you want to see how to make REAL GREEN URANIUM GLASS, please check out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j898ir2Usq6llmw.htmlsi=fKdhsuRAirNKNt-b

The Satisfactory developers use Josh’s save file to stress test the game

What about reacting on something nuclear from Workers & resources? A good game, depicting the stuff in a realistic (well, more or less) way.

The crossover I never knew I needed. Letsgameitout loves breaking everything and anything possible for quite literally no reason other than "because"

For the record, Josh's objective is almost always to do things as horribly as possible. You should see how he gets RID of the waste next video. (There's a whole logistics chain to reprocess and reduce the waste. He uses exactly none of it.)

Some uranium ores are yellow or green. They contain uranium oxides that make them colorful. It's not like you find solid chunks of elemental uranium lying around.

Not the crossover I expected, but I welcome it

I'd like to see you react to the nuclear power system in Factorio, the main game that Satisfactory was based on.

I'm curious what you think about the player-designable reactors in Children of a Dead Earth. Can use them both for electricity, or for nuclear thermal rockets.

the most cool thing id want to see your view on is Nuka cola quantum from the fallout series were they specfically made soda that was radioactive via a unique form of strontium that caused a blue glow. they swore this was safe dosage to consume without enducing radiation damage and id love to hear if thats actually possible or not.

This is the best reaction content on youtube. Most channels just take other videos and add nothing. However people like you actually pick apart the content in a friendly way that doesnt discredit the creator or game designer and you choose topics based on your field and educate the audience in a fun way! I salute you and all reaction channels like you!

I freaking love your take on Josh's video! Watched all of his stuff and he's so good at testing and testing everything games have to offer

Thank ya for the video, very informative and I'm happy you understand Josh is just a maniac who LOVES playing games the wrong way. Would love to see more reactions to his videos, cheers! 😊

As a frequent player of Satisfactory, I would like to explain the entirety of Nuclear operations and all of their silliness in this game. If you don’t feel like reading this, keep scrolling. As shown in the video uranium products are all that sickly green color. As far as uranium refinement goes, this reaction showed it all quite well, but the nuclear plants end up producing around 10 waste per unit of uranium. Once again quite unrealistic. The next bit of unrealism is the fact that a fuel rod only lasts about 2 minutes. Something that is realistic however, is the way the plants run. Me. Folse’s reaction made it seem as if the plants aren’t constantly producing power, and in that version of the game they didn’t, but they do now. Next up is plutonium. All plutonium products are shown as the color of Cherenkov radiation and produce even more even less unrealistic waste than uranium. And the worst bit of unrealism are the pocket nukes. They produce a mushroom cloud with a frankly quite small explosion, and are made from the non enriched uranium fuel cells. All in all Satisfactory is an amazing game that I highly recommend, but it’s displays of radioactivity and nuclear energy are extremely unrealistic, and in some cases even damaging to the reputation of real nuclear energy.

"No, this sucker is electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need...

A Uranium Cell is actually not a bad idea. Nuclear energy in a container to be used as a battery later instead of just a rod.

I would love it if you could react to more games's nuclearvpower sysrems, such as in, for example, factorio

The Walthousen Reactor Critical Facility was originally built to research reactor designs for nuclear powered locomotives (naturally it ran on HEU fuel). More recently it's pretty much a very low power (measured in watts of thermal output) research reactor.

I love how your first thought was "I wonder if he did this on purpose?" And I just laughed and thought, he clearly had not seen Josh play games before...

Things I learned from this video: - It's probably not a good idea to eat uranium

This handling of nuclear waste makes the assassination of Aleksandr Litvinenko look like professional

you should do a letsplay of Satisfactory so you can get to the nuclear stage. Sure it might take a hot minute to get there, but you'll have a lot of fun I assure you. Actually, better idea. Play with a friend or two.

Commenting from school rn. Love the amazing videos, keep making videos, and have a great day!

Ah yes, the venerable CANDU reactor with a great can-do attitude towards the fuels it consumes😁 Also, I want a pet Uranium rock with googly eyes now😆 And I saw people mentioning Workers & Resources Soviet Republic; a game that handles nuclear (or was it nucular?😋) energy a bit more down-to-earth😄

Josh is the absolute best, love his videos! I’d be fully behind you reacting to his whole Satisfactory series

I would be curious as to if you would enjoy playing Satisfactory. Obviously much of the physics in game (particularly the nuclear kind) aren't realistic, you can refine spent waste to reuse. Plus it's just a fun game.

11:42 Big AA batteries :D It's like those D batteries, but these are marked N batteries, for Nuclear ;P

2:05 Pet uranium rod, this would give people ideas. rofl

The uranium trope in games is usually to increase the difficulty since nuclear power is usually so good. Since this video has posted the game added reprocessing of the "waste". Not in a very realistic way though, but it is interesting. Satisfactory maximizes gameplay over realism.

Uranium ore kinda looks like if Sulfur ore had depression and became less saturated

Haha I love it! Tyler reacting to Josh’s extremely amazing videos!

“If nuclear power was run the exact opposite way” yup that’s Josh

Oh no, he found Lets Game It Out... Have fun with this Rabbit Black Hole :D

:D You finnally found the destruction channel, good job!

Hell ya another person watching Josh's madness. Edit: Also from that reactor shown in this this is from a much older state of the game. I play it myself and it's quite nice. Sure it's "unrealistic" but it is a game.

love this guy and his videos !

I'm 99% sure all of these inaccuracies were made in this game on purpose for better game design

I cant believe this didn't cross my mind. This is awesome

I mean there are some uranium "ores" that are actually green namely Torbernite,Metatorbernite and Autunite

My biology teacher in high school had a chunk of yellow cake uranium in his filing cabinet by his desk in class.

You should definitely watch the rest of his series from the first episode, it's a beautiful trainwreck of a show.

There are a bunch of videos about nuclear trains on YT, one of those might make for a good reaction! Also Calum has some videos about the Antarctic overlanders, one of those were nuclear powered I think. The video is mostly not about the nuclear power, so it wouldn't make a great reaction video, but it's very interesting nonetheless!

This KZfaqr tries to play games completely wrong, even exploiting glitches whenever he can

I've learned today. Thank you.

You might like playing satisfactory. You build factories, unlock technology, and usually just make it more efficient to produce more. You are just dropped on an alien planet and told by your company to make stuff to send to them.

Ohh, you found the physical manifestation of chaos! His channel is real fun to watch.

The world where Oppenheim is immortal 😂😂😂 16:33

Id also like to mention that there are uranium minerals that are still 30-40% Uranium, some like autunite and torbernite range from pale green/yellow green, to deep dark green. So not exactly ore grade but very much still radioactive and with a decent amount of uranium per sample.

Yo i love this dudes stuff! Hes hilarious! 😂

You should check out "the proper people" videos of exploring nuclear power plants (i believe they have two of them, one was tested and never brought online, amd the second was never finished).

i see the let's game it out arc has started

I would love to hear about what kind of condition were needed to naturally create as radioactive uranium-ore as seen in the game and what kind of reactor would need spinning control rods.

This is also a very old build of satisfactory. These days we can recycle the waste using particle accelerators into plutonium fuel

If you find the time you could look at the game "Captain of industry" there is now glowing uranium, refining is kinda complex, and depleted uraninum can be dumped into the enviroment.

You can tell that all game devs have no idea what uranium ore really looks like

You should check out some Factorio gameplay, most people say Satisfactory is its "3d version" but not quite. It features a bit more complex nuclear power gameplay mechanics with enrichment, heat transfer, and steam turbines.

The game is very different, you should watch some ImKibitz stuff on this, theres a lot more to do with reprocessing and fuel production now.

oh hay Josh is the type of gaming youtuber who's like "what's the most wrong way I can play this game and how far can I push that before it eats itself?" than he goes farther

FYI a stator is also part of an electric motor/generator, which I assume is what they're going for with the "Electromagnetic control rods" Same principle though, it's the coils of the motor/generator that don't spin.

"I wonder if he did it deliberately just to prove a point in game"... sort of? He has the soul of a software QA tester, or a troll, or the superpowered offspring of both. He picks one thing to fixate on, and then typically does it until the game crashes/is brought to its knees by performance problems. If it looks absurd and he has to do something repetitive for 60 hours to get it to go (... because the developers never thought they'd do the same thing for 60 hours straight) all the better. It's somewhere between testing and performance art.

Didn’t even started the vid, still in the ads, but it was clear that we talked about Josh’s behavior 😂😂

Just to shine some light on the offhand comment about going faster than light in water: Photons slow while traveling through a medium, like water. So the beta particles (radiation) are able to outpace them passing through the medium with enough energy. I'm not really sure how to convey just how much energy 175 KeV is... If only there was a KZfaqr with a conventient analogy. Oh, wait, duh. As he said, when it exceeds that limit, it's so fast that it produces a sonic-boom type shockwave, but with light. Pretty blue! On a different note, while we haven't proven their existence, tachyons (subatomic particle) would theoretically go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. They also play nicely with the theory of relativity, which is a bonus. They are as strange as you might suppose, though... since they can *only* exist above the speed of light. It makes any experimentation difficult, but I'm sure someone will come with something. Humans are fatally curious critters, afterall. (There was also the CERN FTL neutrino thing in 2011, but that needs further research. Imo.)

There is a nuclear powered train at EBR-1 outside of ARCO, ID. Awesome place!

I suppose some kind of breathing filter (part of the hazmat suite) would be prudent if you are in an active mine in general.

As someone who has worked in old nuclear reactors on carriers and submarines after spending a day in reactor welding pipes and pipe vibration stopping things I received less radiation in 4 hours then my buddy having 2 smoke breaks in the same amount of time!

Apart from being the power-solution for the future, I think the weirdest part about nuclear powerplants is the fact that it`s basically nothing more than a steam engine. We`re still running steam engines for energy production, I find that funny.

Well now I want a uranium pet rock

Lol, was not expecting you to react to that jolly sociopath Letsgameitout. XD

Question for you Tyler; your opinion on small scale nuclear fission reactors placed throughout cities and suburban areas. Reactors that are far smaller and safer to operate than ones like Davis-Besse in Ohio. Would these be more effective and efficient than current energy solutions and would you be in favor of individuals using reactors even smaller than that to power their own homes and live independent from the energy grid?

I didn't think I'd find anything useful in this but not once but twice you made bulbs come on here... 🤣👍

Josh: "OSHA doesn't exist in space. I can use the least safe method."

You did a video on the nuclearcraft minecraft mod, but there is also another mod with a nuclear reactor called Mekanism. You can find it if you search Mekanism fission reactor.

they actually modified this game, the reacters now operate at 100% regardless of the power consumption

Bro. I love Josh. He is hilarious.

Please do review of proper people's video exploring decommissioned Nuclear Power Plant

Look up Factorio, it’s like satisfactory but the nuclear power in it actually puts some science into it. (That being said, there’s a lot of problems with it)

the game got updated and it makes kind of more sense now thats a really OLD video
