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.
