Thread: Question on Power

I have a question on power for harvestors. Sometimes I harvest radioactive that counts as 1 unit and sometimes I harvest radioactive that counts as 2 units. My question is what stat determines this? What is the important stat to look for with radioactive power?

Potential Energy. 500 is 1:1 then goes up or down from there

PE of 1000 coutns as two units of power per one unit of radioactive.



Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Allow me to elaborate on the previous 2 posters.


The potential energy (pe) rating of radioactive power determines how many units of power 1 unit of resource counts for. The amount of power scales up starting at 1:1 for PE500 (anything up to and including 500 counts for 1 unit of power), and 2:1 at PE1000.


That means that 1 unit of PE750 radioactive is worth 1.5 units of power. - To calculate the power level of a particular PE, use the following equasion:


(PE / 1000) * 2= Number of units of power per 1 unit resource


To calculate how much power is in a particular stack of resources: (# of units * 2)(PE/ 1000)= Total power in stack.


Examples:


a) I have some radioactive with a PE rating of 633: (633 / 1000) * 2 = .633 * 2 = 1.26 units of power per1 unit of resource (hopefully you see the shortcut there... it's .pe*2 (dot pe x 2).
b) I have some radioactive with PE 943: .943 * 2 = 1.87 units of power per 1 unit
c) I have 74332 units of 814PE radioactive: (74332 * 2)(814 / 1000)= 148664 * .814 = 121012.5 units of power for 74k units of material


Hope that's not too confusing

Do the resources, the gases, you get from fusion generators power other types of harvesters?


Thanks.

From a semi-Newbie, so don't treat this as Gospel:

Fusion-Ion generators harvest Radioactives. The end product they product does work to power any kind of harvester that requires power. Based on the potential energy ( PE ) of the resource, you may get one (1) or more units of power for each resource unit that you pull out of the ground.

Ok, I just read the Architect forums and they had a guide on harvesters. Thanks for your help/
