Fusion Reactor
The Fusion Reactor is high-output power for mid/late colonies — strong energy scaling that consumes Gas as fuel.
Mechanics
- Produces significantly more energy than Solar Plant at comparable levels
- Consumes Gas per hour while operating — ensure Gas Extractor throughput
- Requires Fusion Technology and Energy Systems research
Special capabilities
Power & fuel
- Transition fuel from pure solar to gas-fed fusion as mines and yards multiply
- Negative energy blocks most new construction — keep fusion fed before adding Silicium/Iridium industry
- Later replaced or supplemented by Elerium Reactor on endgame worlds
Strategy
- Build on planets with good gas richness
- Throttle mines via production rate if energy dips negative
- Bridge between solar baseline and elerium endgame
Lore
Fusion technology represents one of the earliest breakthroughs that allowed humanity to spread beyond its home system.
Within massive containment chambers, hydrogen isotopes are fused under extreme pressure and temperature, releasing enormous amounts of energy.
These reactors power the heavy industries and shipyards of advanced colonies.
