Energy Sources: Difference between revisions

Dyson Sphere Program's main focus is power generation; as such, there are a plethora of different ways of generating power in the game, ranging from the humble [[Wind Turbine|wind turbine]] you start with, to [[Mini Fusion Power Station|fusion generators]], [[Artificial Star|artificial stars]], and, of course, the Dyson Sphere itself. Some of these generators and your mech, Icarus, run on one or more different fuels. This page lists all fuels in the game and Their stats.

All fuels have two stats: '''Energy''', and '''Fuel chamber gen.'''

'''Energy''' is the total energy each item contains. When used in Icarus, the [[Mini Fusion Power Station]] and the [[Artificial Star]], this is the total energy it generates. [[Thermal Power Station|Thermal Power Stations]] incur a 20% energy loss for all fuels they use.     

'''Fuel chamber gen.''' marks how quickly Icarus' reactor core converts the fuel. This only changes how fast energy is recharged, not how much total energy is produced. Note that [[Coal]] with 0% is the only fuel that matches your [[Energy Circuit (Upgrade)|Energy Circuit]] upgrade level. Both positive and negative percentages are relative to this. For instance, both a [[Hydrogen Fuel Rod]] and the 5 [[Hydrogen]] it requires to produce contain a total of 54MJ, but the fuel rod has a Fuel chamber gen. of +200% instead of the +100% of regular hydrogen, meaning you will use the fuel rod 50% faster (300% total charge rate compared to 200%) than the regular hydrogen and therefore recharge energy 50% faster. The time fuel lasts, and your recovery speed, both depend on your [[Energy Circuit (Upgrade)|Energy Circuit]] upgrade level.  

The "fuel chamber gen." stat only affects Icarus; it has no effect on [[Thermal Power Plant|Thermal Power Plants]].
