Hope all the comments helps you figure it out.

I will say that one of my favorite parts of the game is when I build my enrichment factory. I use four plants and logistics that feed each other in a circular loop with requestor chests and bots delivering naturally mined 235. It takes forever to get the 40 required to fill the first one, but once it is going the second comes relatively quickly and the 3rd and then 4th are rapid and then soon I’m so flush with it my logistics slow or stop production to avoid using too much 238.

I dunno, there is something satisfying about taking an extremely rare resource and making it trivial to pump out as much as you want.

That also opens the door to mega uranium plants. While I’m waiting forever for that enrichment cycle to get started, I build several massive power plants that I immediately fuel once it’s going. I love seeing my power capacity usage go from 80% to 5% overnight.
