I’m searching for a game where I can create and design nuclear reactors, similar to mods like HBM’s or NuclearCraft in Minecraft, but I’m not interested in other game mods unless they truly stand out. I’ve seen complex construction systems in games like From the Depths on videos and appreciate the way you must engineer energy systems intricately. Does anyone know of any games with complex and realistic building systems for creating various types of nuclear reactors?

I initially thought Factorio had only one nuclear power variant, but its system has some depth worth exploring. If you’re looking for games with a focus on physics, Stationeers could be up your alley. The physics simulation, including effects of pressure, temperature, and gas liquification, is highly detailed and might give you the complexity you’re after.
Factorio is a game you might consider, although it may not be as detailed as you’re looking for. It involves a basic tutorial spanning up to five pages on nuclear power, which could provide a strategic angle rather than complete realism.
