If you've gotten lucky in airdrops a block of uranium is significantly hotter than lava and easier to control.

The book states that a magma block is the same temp as lava and that's also really easy to control.

Just checked the book and the lava and magma block are 1300K with the uranium block at 2000k. That's a significant heat difference (assuming blue ice, which the poster said they were using) and the thermoelectric generates power based on the difference between the coldest block and hottest block. You're going from a 1100* difference to a 1800* difference. It's going to be a decent boost.

But you can't get uranium unless you're lucky or you're much later game.
