Deuterium Synthesizer
Fuel for every real operation.
What it does
Extracts deuterium, the fuel for fleet movement and advanced technologies.
Deuterium decides whether fleets merely exist or actually operate. It pays for travel, special technology and late power projection.
What it enables
Enables long-range missions, colonization, expeditions and costly research.
Cost for level 1
Building time depends on the planet’s Robotics Factory and Nanite Factory levels and on the universe speed, so it is not a fixed number.
Cost per level
Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×1.5, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.
| To level | Metal | Crystal | Deuterium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 225 | 75 | 0 |
| 2 | 338 | 113 | 0 |
| 5 | 1,140 | 380 | 0 |
| 10 | 8,650 | 2,884 | 0 |
| 15 | 65,685 | 21,895 | 0 |
Requirements
None — available from the start, with no research or building gate.
How each race builds it
The four races share the same building rules but not the same hardware — each one names and renders it differently, and applies its own combat multipliers from its race profile.
