What it does

Hamster Reloaded adds a chain of technology built around nuclear energy: reactors that generate power, missiles and bombs for weapons, and heavy machinery for refining materials and automating production. Radiation and contamination are part of the play, so a facility has to be managed against those hazards as well as built. Crafting follows long processing chains, and the Enough Items mod can help navigate the recipes.

Hamster Systems continues the classic Hbm's Nuclear Tech Mod as an independent community project, separate from the original official HBM release. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it requires Minecraft Forge for 1.12.2. Files are published for 1.12.2 only, with version 1.6.3 as the latest file, released on 2023-12-06. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Nuclear reactors

    Reactors generate power for larger systems, and a badly managed reactor can destroy the surrounding base.

  2. Missiles and bombs

    Weapons range from conventional equipment to nuclear missiles and bombs, which are built through the processing chains.

  3. Industrial machinery

    Machines refine materials and automate production, allowing players to construct large manufacturing systems.

  4. Radiation hazards

    Radioactive substances and contamination must be handled, which makes containment and cooling part of the work.

  5. Multiplayer play

    Players can cooperate on one facility or test defences against each other on a shared server.
