Deuterium, also known as "deut", is one of the three main resources within the game.
Deuterium (also known as heavy hydrogen) is a hydrogen atom with an additional neutron and is very well suited as fuel for ships because of the high energy yield and easy ignition of the Deuterium-Deuterium and Deuterium-Tritium fusion reactions. Deuterium is found in the deep sea due to its molecular weight. Upgrading the Deuterium Synthesizer enables deeper sea harvesting of these resources. Its most extended use is as fuel for all kinds of ship engines, but it is used as well to construct certain buildings and to develop some technologies.
The amount of deuterium produced by a Deuterium Synthesizer per hour can be calculated with this formula:
The cost of Deuterium Synthesizer upgrades can be calculated with this formula:
The Energy Consumption of Deuterium Synthesizer can be calculated with this formula:
Colder planets produce deuterium at a faster rate than warmer planets.
Its "value" in most universes is about 3 times that of metal and 1.5 times that of crystal.
Deuterium costs do not affect the build time of buildings, ships, defences or research time.
Deuterium output is somewhat lower than a Metal or Crystal output at a similar mine level. Deuterium is fairly useless for the making of buildings, its job mostly to provide fuel for ships.
