Base Effects
Produces massive amounts of Energy using Elerium as fuel.
Requirements
Elerium Synthesizer Level 4 Fusion Technology Level 6

Elerium Reactor

The Elerium Reactor is the most powerful conventional energy source — vast output fueled by Elerium from your Elerium Synthesizer chain.

Mechanics

Highest-tier planet energy building in the player catalog
Consumes Elerium per hour — budget synthesizer output before spamming reactors
Required to comfortably run late ships, Prism Tower defenses, and Realm 3+ industry

Special capabilities

Power & elerium fuel

Pairs with Elerium Synthesizer production — treat elerium as both fuel and build material
Enables dense mine + yard worlds that would otherwise stay energy-negative
Upgrade synthesizers before doubling reactors on the same planet

Strategy

Build on capitals running Terraformer, Defense Yard, and heavy mines together
Monitor elerium burn vs synthesizer output in the resource panel
Step up from Fusion Reactor once gas-only power is insufficient

Lore

Elerium reactors harness exotic quantum reactions that produce energy far beyond traditional fusion systems.

The immense power generated by these reactors allows colonies to sustain massive industrial complexes, planetary shields, and advanced research facilities.
