Solar Plant



A Solar Plant is a building used to generate energy to power your Metal Mine, Crystal Mine, and Deuterium Synthesizer. See also Solar Satellites and Fusion Reactor.

Costs by Level
$$ \text{Cost} = \text{Base Cost} \cdot 1.5 ^ {\text{Solar Plant Level} - 1}$$

Base Costs are 75 metal and 30 crystal.

Production
$$ \text{Energy} = \lfloor 20\cdot\text{Level}\cdot 1.1^{\text{Level}}\rfloor $$

Level Table
Below is a simple table laying out the levels of Solar Plants. These levels are shown with their Output/ Hour (with the increase from the previous level in Difference column). How much energy you are getting per field is shown in the fourth column (Output/ Field). How much a Solar Plant costs and finally, how much metal and crystal are paid for each single unit of energy increase (Resource/ Increase).

A single level on the solar Plant can support both a level of Metal Mine and a level of Crystal mine. Thus, it is inconvenient to use this on smaller planets, such the new ones of the redesigned universes. A solar plant of level 59 is able to produce the energy required for Graviton technology, but unluckily the cost is huge: 1.2 trillion metal and 490 billion crystal, which takes 667 years to build with a Robotic Factory of level 10 and a Nanite Factory of level 5.
