I want to produce Atomic bombs faster.

Is there a way to build Nuclear facilities in more than one province?

I have one bomb and a facility at level 7, in Berlin. I want to build another facility in addition to the first one, somewhere else.

Am I going to have cheat or is there another way?
 
Don't think the game will let you do that. Basically, you're stuck on the time scale the game wants. If you absolutely need more nukes, you will need to cheat, type F12, then nuke. This will give you one nuke every time you type it in.
 
Each country is only allowed one nuclear facility. If you capture another nation's, it's automatically destroyed.

The only way for you to ramp up production is to tech-rush the remaining nuclear technologies.

If you pause the game and have multiple facilities in deployment, you may be able to deploy them across multiple provinces, as long as the facilities haven't reached strength 1 (I think....or I could be confusing it with rocket facilities, which I know for certain you can do)
 
The *total* number of facilities is what is limited.

It's possible in some versions to have multiple nuclear facilities, but in that case, if you had max level 7, then you could only have for instance a level 4 and a level 3. Both would of course be completely useless; I believe that this was fixed in a patch, but I'm not quite sure on that.

quick answer answer: No

f12 and type nuke as someone else said, thats the only thing i can think of.

What about going into the game files or whatever? I don't like to use the f12 cheats. I should have to put in more IC resources to get faster nuke production and balance it with the other demands of the war on IC.

For a game that can last until the 60's; I don't see why I should have to do with just one, with piddly construction rates. Historically the nuclear arsenal grew to ridiculous civilization destroying sizes and I don't see it getting there with just one reactor complex.

Short answer - because this is a WW 2 game, and as such, it's modelled on WW 2 concepts. Yes, the game extends into the 1960s, but it is not really designed to deal with the kind of MAD diplomacy and nuclear warfare that would result from such a thing.

Soviets barely had tested a nuke (historically) in the game's original timetables
 
It may be modelled on some WW II concepts; but, it's a WW II game and the course of the war may proceed ahistorically. Some of those concepts don't work when the war doesn't go as it is supposed to.
I didn't ask for MAD diplomacy, I asked for more nuke production. The experiments are over and the science guys know how to make an atom bomb. The government should be able to expand production to meet the demands of the war.

Sorry, didn't meant to go too off topic. But was just pointing out that the game mechanics really don't support large numbers of nukes. This was a design decision by the devs. Sometimes I too wish for a higher nuke rate.

You might be able to mod it, don't know the exact folder, but I bet it's something simple like just changing a number on a word pad document that shifts the rate of nuke production. I would make a backup copy of the game before doing any modding though.

That said, if you want to be ahistorical and don't want to mod, simply type nuke a bunch of times in the F12 menu. I've done it lots of times to give myself hundreds of nukes (you don't have to be this excessive :) ). However, you will notice diminishing returns after awhile. If you have the means to drop lots of nukes on folks, especially with ICBMS, then the game simply turns into a game of "whack 'em". That can be fun, especially in the end game when you're bored, but unless you also mod the AI to build nuke reactors (this I know is possible) it will be a one sided show.
 
I've just discovered a cheat/flaw.

Building my first nuke plant i accidentally plonked it down in Latvia after capturing it. During my slow crawl across Russia and Siberia it grew to 3 strong and in I was still able to deploy new nuke reactors anywhere within the sphere I had captured, so i plonked down a second reactor in Dresden. It's now 1948, I have annexed the USSR and have two bomb factiories a ten and an eight with hydrogen bombs still to research and I'm getting new bombs off the production line every 2-3 months
