Fusion reactor
The Sun's matter in a ring of cold magnets: up to 250 kW, capped per reactor, its fuel running out.
In the game
How to get it
Craft it in the grid (five superconducting magnets, circuit boards, steel plates and copper coils), connect a large power cable and put solar matter in it.
What it is for
Up to 250 kW, the whole of a large cable: fifty generators in one machine. One solar matter lasts eight hours at full power, longer when less is asked; once lit in its core it burns there to the end.
Why it exists
The power of the Sun at home, yet capped per reactor and its fuel runs out: fair for everyone on a server. Once you have finished the game the Sun is a mining trip: go down for more solar matter and rise back to your ship.
