Ray Receivers are used to harvest energy from the [[Dyson Sphere]] and the Dyson Swarm. Like [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]], Ray Receivers require direct line of sight to their energy source to receive energy. Additionally, they become more efficient the longer they receive without interruption. They possess two different modes, one to provide energy directly, the other to convert receives energy into [[Critical Photon|Critical Photons]]. | Ray Receivers are used to harvest energy from the [[Dyson Sphere]] and the Dyson Swarm.

The Power Mode allows the Ray Receiver to receive energy and then provide it to the local energy grid. It starts with 6 MW of power generation and will peak at 15 MW with 100% continuous receiving. If fed with Graviton Lenses the maximum output can reach up to 60 MW, depending of the level of proliferation. | The Power Mode allows the Ray Receiver to receive energy and then provide it to the local energy grid.

* For planets with higher axial inclination, there is no such sweet spot. With the Planetary Ionosphere Utilization technology, however, the line-of-sight restriction is largely removed as long as the Ray Receivers have a supply of Graviton Lenses. | * For planets with higher axial inclination, there is no such sweet spot.

* Building Ray Receivers inside a Dyson Sphere, even just a single ring of frames at 0° Orbit Inclination, will cause the efficiency bonus to never degrade. This also works for a Dyson swarm as long as it is maintained. | * Building Ray Receivers inside a Dyson Sphere, even just a single ring of frames at 0° Orbit Inclination, will cause the efficiency bonus to never degrade.
