Hello all, I think I am encountering a bug with reactors and breeding tritium. My goal is to make completely self sufficient ships, and a lot of the engines that require fusion pellets are quite attractive. However, to make new fusion pellets, tritium is required. Try however I might, I simply cannot get any of the fusion reactors to breed new tritium. My tests have included putting a container of ever type of lithium on the ship, and empty containers for both types of tritium. However, I can never get a reactor to start breeding tritium. Am I missing something? Is there a different way to make fusion pellets that doesn't require tritium?
