Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedCryogenics hold the array at operating temperature. Charge readouts stay within tolerance through the worst production beats.
StarvedCryogenics have failed and the array is venting heat. Capacity has collapsed back to raw plant output.
Upgrade Chain (3 tiers)
| Tier | Facility | Build Cost | Build Time | Labor | Power | Life Sup. | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Capacitor Bank | 500,000 | 120 | 30 | — | — | 2 |
| L2 | Buffer Array | 1,500,000 | 200 | 60 | — | — | 3 |
| L3 | Cryo Capacitor Vaultthis tier | 4,500,000 | 300 | 100 | — | — | 4 |
Each tier is built by upgrading the one below it. Cost, build time and power draw climb with the tier; the recipe it runs stays the same.
