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.
Rather than producing in one lump sum every hour, mines produce resources continuously in Starfleet Commander, so you will see your resources update with every new page load.
Workers
One worker may be assigned to a mine from the beginning. Another is allowed with every two levels. So a level 4 mine may have 2 workers, a level 6 mine may have 3 workers, etc.
Workers able to work in the mine are:
Type | Production Increase |
---|---|
Mining Droid | 2% |
Basic Android | 4% |
Human Worker | 4% |
Cost, Energy Use, and Production by Level
Ore Cost = | 150 * (1.5)Level |
Crystal Cost = | 50 * (1.5)Level |
Energy Use = | 20 * Level * (1.1)Level | + (1 if Level > 1) |
Production Value = 12 * Level * (1.1Level) * (-0.002 * max_temp + 1.28)
Level | Ore Cost | Crystal Cost | Energy Use | Production @ -41°C |
Production @ 92°C |
