Fusion plant

Your basic energy supply – with no running costs. Without enough power all mines slow down, so the plant has to grow along with them.

The Fusion plant powers your mines and your Blast furnace without consuming any resources. Every new planet comes with it at level 1. The table shows the total energy per level. Compare it with the energy demand column on the mine pages and you'll know how far your plant will carry you.

When energy runs short, all mines are throttled evenly – the Economy page tells you by how much. So check your energy balance before each new mine level and upgrade the plant in time. Since it gets more expensive only slowly, like the mines, it stays affordable even at high levels.

Per level it delivers less energy than the Thermosolar plant, but it needs no spice. More energy comes from Solar cells and Energy technology, which boosts the output of all energy sources.

Background

The fusion power plant ensures the basic supply of energy on each newly colonized planet. It is vital during early stages of the imperial development because advanced research is required to utilise spice as a planetary energy source.
