Microsystem accelerator

Halves the build time of buildings, ships and defense with every level. Expensive – but one of the biggest time savers in the later game.

Microsystem accelerator

The Microsystem accelerator goes one step beyond the Development center and the Weapons factory: every level halves the build time of the buildings on this planet once more – and the build time of ships and defense units as well. It requires Energy technology level 10 and the Development center at level 12.

It isn't cheap: level 1 costs half a million metal, a million kryptonite and a quarter of a million spice, and every further level costs twice as much. Make sure beforehand that your warehouses can hold these amounts – for level 1 you need at least Metal warehouse level 3, Kryptonite warehouse level 4 and Spice warehouse level 2.

It only works on the planet it stands on. Level 2 unlocks the Teleporter. Build it first where the longest construction projects are coming up and where your fleets are built – usually your home planet.

Background

The microsystem accelerator is a modular improvement of the development center. Micro-computers process huge amounts of data which are passed in an optimized form to the building-robots. The optimization on the products of the weapons factory and construction of buildings times are reduced in these structures with each stage a further 50%.
