Fusion

Fusion

Fusion research improves your power systems and also boosts Fusion Reactor fuel-cell output.

Quick Stats

Property Value
Type Energy Technology
Lab Notes Research Lab level affects speed only
Effect +10% energy-source output per level, plus +5% Fusion Reactor fuel-cell output per level; enables Fusion Reactor construction at level 1+
Prerequisites Research Lab 4, plus the section 2 unlock requirement (8 cumulative section 1 levels)

Effect

Fusion increases output from energy-producing sources. For Fusion Reactors, that boosted output is converted into Fuel Cells.

Formula

Output = Base Output * (1 + 0.10 * Fusion Level)

Fusion stacks with Energy Technology:

Output = Base Output * (1 + 0.05 * Energy Tech) * (1 + 0.10 * Fusion Level)

For Fusion Reactor fuel-cell generation, Fusion also adds an extra reactor-only bonus:

FusionReactorOutput = Base * (1 + 0.05 * Energy Tech)
                           * (1 + 0.10 * Fusion Level)
                           * (1 + 0.05 * Fusion Level)

Fuel Cell note:

  • Fuel Cells do not accumulate until Fuel Cell Technology is researched to at least level 1.
  • Charging uses Fusion Reactor output directly.

Cost & Requirements

Requirements:

  • Research Lab level 4
  • Energy Technology level 4

Formula

Metal = 2,000 * 2^Level
Crystal = 1,000 * 2^Level
Deuterium = 1,000 * 2^Level

Cost Table

Level Metal Crystal Deuterium
1 2,000 1,000 1,000
2 4,000 2,000 2,000
5 64,000 32,000 32,000
10 2,048,000 1,024,000 1,024,000

Strategy Tips

  • Best early payoff: Level 1-3 gives noticeable energy/Fusion output boosts.
  • Fuel-cell logistics: Strong for players moving and trading fuel cells.
  • Combine research: Fusion stacks with Energy Technology for stronger reactor output.
