With a fusion you can collect more than 15k units radioactive a day. With a PE on more than 500 one unit gives you MORE than one energy-unit for harvester.

So just pay the 150k for a fuison..... it will pay it self...

I have two fusions, one with a rate of 13 and the second with a rate of 24. I can pull over 35k of radioactives a day with these. They were expensive but I get all the energy I need and plenty to sell.

Ok, first off I'm not an artisan, but I'm looking for some info and hoping you all can help me out. My mining operation has recently outgrown my power output thanks to the fine new harvesters now available. I have 24 lots at my disposal and would like to use as many as possible for harvesters and as few as possible for generators. I currently need to power 20 medium harvesters and have been relying on wind generators but htey nolonger meet my needs. I know nothing of radioactive power or fusion generators except some heresay that radioactive power is somehow better. Noone I've talked to has been able to elaborate on this for me. Can someone give me the 411 on this. I don't want to spend the 150K for a fusion generator(s) without getting all the facts first. I will apologies beforehand if this is not the right forum for this question. If the is a better place to ask this please let me know.

Thanks,

I suggest that you not run generators of any type, and instead BUY your power from Draznar on Eclipse.

Yes, you could produce your own power a bit cheaper, but, this way you also have an extra lot or two for harvesters mining the minerals you REALLY want. Plus, it's one less resource, one less resource shift, and one less type of harvesterto manage.

In the long-term, you'll have more money in your pocket buying it from someone who focuses only on power, so that you can focus only on the stuff you really want.

Thanks for the plug. Send me a message if you need power. I do want to let you know that price on of power on Eclipse has gone up because of the low ER rates on the new harvesters and several shifts with no power. Prices may go back down...

Wow! I'd been wondering about the price change on your sig, Draz. Several shifts with no power?! Yikes! My whole server community would sacrifice me to appease the fusion gods!!!

The kind of power does not change extraction rate. How long the power will run the building is based on it's Potential Energy stat. Take note, Solid Petro and Liquid Petro do not work for buildings. Only wind, solar, and radioactive. (check the PE stats on the types. Most people just use the radioactive do to their lot constraints.

power can not change the BER of a Harvester, but as far as the being efficient, the radioactive is the best, if you get a Radioactive with a high PE you get more units of energy to use at your disposal. Anything below 500 PE, you have 1 unit, and I not sure of the conversion rates to PE above 500, but you do get more.
