Hydrogen Synthesizer

The Hydrogen Synthesizer separates the atoms in water to produce hydrogen gas, the primary fuel powering your ships' and buildings' fusion reactors. The process is slow and expensive, making hydrogen the rarest and most valuable of the three resources.

Like the Ore Mine and the Crystal Mine, the Hydrogen Synthesizer can have workers assigned to it and will produce extra hydrogen.

Note

The exact amount of hydrogen produced by the hydrogen synthesizer varies based on the world on which it operates. Worlds farther out from the sun (i.e. with a higher planet number) generate more hydrogen than those closer to the sun.

A Gamer's note: Hydrogen is, in reality, the most abundant element in the Universe, not the rarest.
