You might be able to make the graphic Selectable Itchy.  I seen it done once before.  So once the building is built, the user can cycle through some graphics on the item.
Click to see my steam. I'm a lazy modder who takes long breaks and everyone seems to hate.

Could you be more specific in regards to how much power it generates?

In RL they only produce a few hundred watts, although the soviets did make larger ones fueled by strontium-90 instead of the usual plutonium-238 that were large enough to power remote lighthouses.

In game they produce a constant 750w

Would you consider adding an ASRG to this as an extremely expensive researchable upgrade to this? NASA is working on them right now to replace the RTGs they currently use saying they're about 4x as efficient.

For some reason it will keep saying not connected to power while it clearly is:

Maybe there is a break in your conduit line that you can't see in this screenshot.

I never noticed that before. Will see what I can do.

EDIT: It was the battery component causing it. I've removed it.

It seems to be the battery portion of this saying it's not connected. the power gen still works though but I don't think the power storage is working as intended. Removing the ability to store power from its xml seems to fix the problem but defeats the purpose of having it able to store power (maybe it doesn't like being connected to transmit power twice?)

And a new version is up.

New version adds an ASRG, which can only be built after completing the related research. Produces 500w more power than an RTG and is 3x3 in size instead of 2x2.
I've removed the battery component to get rid of the annoying 'Not connected to power' message. Although this probably means that the RTG's will no longer cause the conduit explosion event.
I've also bumped up the steel cost slightly on the RTG. Now it need 120 Steel, before it was 80.

YES! You're awesome ItchyFlea! Thanks for adding the ASRG, the RTG didn't feel like it had quite enough power (which makes sense since in reality they really don't)

Did you not read my post about the texture I created on page one? I would like at least a reply saying you saw it.

I have put it in the mod as the texture for the ASRG and given you credit in the OP about it.
Your post is also why I increased the metal cost a bit.

Great mod for a great game ! But the traders don't seem to sell uranium. They sell artistic goods made of uranium but not uranium itself. Is this normal ?

The bulk goods traders carry it sometimes. It seems to be fairly rare in this alpha. Also after you've opened one of the capsules you can claim it and disassemble it for a bit of uranium.
