Fuel Cell Technology
Fuel Cell Technology unlocks Fuel Cell generation by allowing your planets to store Fusion Reactor output as Fuel Cells.
Quick Stats

| Type | Advanced Research |
| Effect | Enables Fuel Cell generation at level 1 |
| Max Level | 1 |
Effect
Without this research, planets do not generate Fuel Cells.
After level 1:
- Fuel Cells charge from Fusion Reactor output.
- Fusion Reactor output does not power the live energy grid.
- If your planet has negative energy, Fuel Cells still drain at the normal rate.
Cost & Requirements
Requirements:
- Research Lab level 1
- Fusion level 1
Level 1 Cost:
- Metal: 3,000
- Crystal: 2,000
- Deuterium: 1,500
Strategy Tips
- Research this before planning Fuel Cell-based trade or logistics.
- Pair this with stable Fusion Reactor output so your charging is consistent.
- Keep your energy positive to avoid Fuel Cell drain.
