Deuterium Tank

Deuterium Tank

Deuterium Tanks store your processed deuterium fuel reserves.

Overview

Property Value
Type Storage Building
Stores Deuterium
Prerequisites None

Description

Deuterium must be stored under specific pressure and temperature conditions to remain stable. Deuterium Tanks are heavily reinforced containment vessels designed for safe long-term storage of this volatile fuel.

Capacity

Formula

Capacity = 10,000 * floor(2.5 * e^(20 * Level / 33))

Capacity Table

Construction Costs

Formula

Metal = 1,000 * 2^(Level - 1)
Crystal = 1,000 * 2^(Level - 1)

Strategy

Deuterium is Fuel

Unlike metal and crystal, deuterium is continuously consumed:

  • Fleet missions
  • Fusion Reactors
  • Research projects

Storage Considerations

Balance storage with consumption:

  • Don't overbuild if you use deuterium quickly
  • Build higher on cold deuterium-producing planets
  • Consider fuel reserves for large operations

Fleet Fuel Reserve

Large fleet operations need deuterium reserves:

  • Long-range attacks
  • Multiple mission launches
  • Emergency fleetsaving
