Description
Antimatter Storage Technology provides safe and efficient methods for storing antimatter, a highly potent energy source.
Benefits
Fuel output Empire-wide+5.5%
Research output Empire-wide+2.5%
+40 power-hours and +20/hour transfer per Power Plant; maximum 800/world with both earlier milestones Local grid capability
Strategy notes
Antimatter Storage develops the Energy discipline within Resource Ascendancy. Turn superior surveying, extraction, refining, and energy conversion into strategic control of scarce materials. Its immediate value is +55% Fuel Production; +25% Research. The principal counterpressure is that extraction complexes are immobile, power hungry, and exposed to raiding or market isolation.
Player hints
This tier begins to define an empire. Compare its resource demand with the other technologies competing for your laboratories. Favor this technology when its Energy 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. Complete every prerequisite before adding research progress. Generation is finite, local, staffed, and funded; this research does not transmit power between worlds. Adds 40 reserve power-hours and 20 charge/discharge power per active Power Plant: 80 capacity per plant, maximum 800 per world with both earlier storage milestones.
