Research

Isotope Spectrometry

Isotope Spectrometry: Shows the Deuterium in isotope rocks and lets you send Prospectors to them. The return haul enters the Works.

How to use it

Shows the Deuterium in isotope rocks and lets you send Prospectors to them. The return haul enters the Works.

Research it once to turn isotope asteroids into selectable mining targets. It unlocks access to contested Deuterium; it does not create passive fuel on a planet.

Requirements & connections

No prerequisite research.

This project has 1 paid level. Completed research applies across your planets. Payment comes from the selected world’s Store. Funding from another world does not create another research queue. Started research cannot be cancelled.

Connections: Dense Fuel Cells, Gravitic Charges.

Reference values

Each row is the separate cost of reaching that level. Research time uses your capital’s Core even when a colony pays the bill.
