Fuel Cell
Fuel Cells are stored energy generated directly by your Fusion Reactor.
How Fuel Cells Are Generated
Fuel Cells charge when:
- Fuel Cell Technology is at least level 1, and
- your planet has active Fusion Reactor output.
- Charge rate: 1 Fuel Cell per 1 Fusion output per hour
- Charging stops when your Fuel Cell storage is full
- If energy is negative, fuel cells drain at 1 Fuel Cell per 1,000 negative energy per hour
Fuel Cells are stored like other resources and can be transported in ship cargo.
Storage
Fuel Cells have a maximum storage value (shown in the resource bar):
- Base storage:
max(5,000, Energy Max * 12) - Plus a Fusion Reactor storage bonus per level:
- Fusion bonus = 1/10th of Metal Storage capacity at the same level
Trading
Fuel Cells can be traded on the Exchange like other resources.
