Description
Dark Energy Manipulation Technology uses dark energy, the force driving the expansion of the universe, as a revolutionary fuel source.
Benefits
Fuel output Empire-wide+6.1%
Power output Empire-wide+9.9%
Strategy notes
Dark Energy Fuel Catalysis develops the Fuel discipline within Resource Ascendancy. Turn superior surveying, extraction, refining, and energy conversion into strategic control of scarce materials. Its immediate value is +65% Power; +40% Fuel Production. The principal counterpressure is that extraction complexes are immobile, power hungry, and exposed to raiding or market isolation.
Player hints
This is a major commitment. Secure its required resources and protect the supporting infrastructure before assigning Critical priority. Favor this technology when its Fuel benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
