Power Consumption

Each faction requires large amounts of energy for various purposes.

• Resource Mines
  • Durasteel Mine: 4 energy per upgrade level
  • Tibanna Gas Mine: 4 energy per upgrade level
  • Crystal Mine: 3 energy per upgrade level

• Research Building:

Energy demand = Research Lab Level * 3 * Level of the Researched Technology

• Energy Cell Factory:

Regardless of its level, production requires 120 energy units.

• Shipyard:

Energy demand = Shipyard A Level * 20 + Shipyard B Level * 20

• Orbital Shipyard:

Energy demand = Shipyard A Level * 40 + Shipyard B Level * 40

If only one shipyard is available for construction, the second shipyard level must be set to 0 in the formulas above.

If a planet lacks sufficient energy, resource production will be reduced or even halted!
