Description
Absolute Energy Sources Technology provides a source of energy that is unlimited, invulnerable, and immune to all forms of degradation.
Benefits
Research output Empire-wide+4.62%
Power output Empire-wide+15.38%
Strategy notes
Absolute Energy Sources 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 +100% Power; +30% Research. The principal counterpressure is that extraction complexes are immobile, power hungry, and exposed to raiding or market isolation.
Player hints
This is late-path research. Treat it as a strategic objective measured in weeks or months, and expect rivals to react to the capability. 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.
