Doing more construction will increase your colony's wealth, increasing the [[Raider#Raid strength|strength of raids]]. This also gives you more flexibility in defending the reactor, as you can surround it with walls, making it a non-target for most raiders. After the raids are done you can build the rest of the ship at your leisure. |

− | + | As a power source, its cost and size makes it extremely inefficient, even in the endgame. For example, a [[battery]] plus two [[solar generator]]s costs 270 [[steel]] and 8 [[components]] (total market value 790) and can provide an estimated 1100 W all day at roughly 15% the cost; and a [[chemfuel generator]] provides a constant 1000 W at 100 steel and 3 components (295 market value) plus 4.5 [[chemfuel]] per day (621 market value per year) while occupying only a 2x2 region. | |
