Strategy notes
Energy Distribution 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 +2% Speed, -10% Fuel Cost; +5% Power Production; +5% Production. The principal counterpressure is that extraction complexes are immobile, power hungry, and exposed to raiding or market isolation.
Player hints
This is an inexpensive path entry. Research it early when you want to test this direction without sacrificing strategic flexibility. 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. -2% building power demand.
