Reactor
#ReactorDextronium synthesis. Ultimate production facility for endgame resources.
Description
❖Center of arcane energy that fuels the city. Produces 5 Dextronium per tick (1.25x scaling) with +10% Dextronium, +5% Mithril modifiers. Consumes 10 Coal + 2 Mithril maintenance. Requires EnergyProcessing research.
Full Encyclopedia Entry ▼
The Reactor pulses with mystical brilliance, channeling the raw flow of magical currents from the world's unseen leylines. Within its crystalline chambers, arcane engineers regulate and distribute this energy to synthesize Dextronium. Mechanically, the Reactor produces 5 Dextronium per tick (1.25x scaling), provides +10% Dextronium and +5% Mithril production modifiers, and consumes 10 Coal + 2 Mithril maintenance. Construction requires 2000 Gold, 500 Stone, 400 Mineral, 100 Mithril, 200 Gems, 150 Marble (1.4x scaling) and EnergyProcessing research (Tier 5). This is the pinnacle of production technology.
