Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedMagnetic containment bottles glow white-hot with sustained fusion. Power output exceeds station demand by a wide margin.
StarvedWhen it's working. Right now, containment bottles flicker, the array operates at reduced output, and engineers monitor bottle integrity around the clock.
Upgrade Chain (4 tiers)
| Tier | Facility | Build Cost | Build Time | Labor | Power | Life Sup. | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Fusion Power Core | 800,000 | 200 | 50 | — | — | 2 |
| L2 | Reactor Complex | 2,400,000 | 300 | 80 | — | — | 2 |
| L3 | Power Grid | 7,000,000 | 400 | 120 | — | — | 3 |
| L4 | Fusion Arraythis tier | 21,000,000 | 500 | 160 | — | — | 3 |
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.
