Launch Pad

The launch pad is the big construction project after the first act. It opens the drone station with its missions and the fusion reactor.

Build stages

Stage	Build	Cost
1	Platform and launch rail	1B Credits + 5,000 × Steel Bar + 2,000 × Kaverite Plate + 10,000 × Circuit Part
2	Hangar and transmitter mast	10B Credits + 15,000 × Steel Bar + 3,000 × Lumen Lens + 2,000 × Void Core

The reactor makes fuel cells and fuses artifacts. Each stage allows fusion up to a higher rarity; the last two need an artifact as igniter.

Stage	Cost	Fusion up to
1	5B Credits + 5,000 × Steel Bar + 1,000 × Void Core	Improved
2	20B Credits + 15,000 × Steel Bar + 3,000 × Void Core + 2,000 × Lumen Lens	Rare
3	80B Credits + 40,000 × Steel Bar + 8,000 × Void Core + 5,000 × Kaverite Plate	Epic
4	300B Credits + 100,000 × Steel Bar + 20,000 × Void Core + 500 × Fusion Mantle + one artifact at Epic as igniter	Legendary
5	1T Credits + 250,000 × Steel Bar + 50,000 × Void Core + 500 × Fusion Mantle + 500 × Core Coil + one artifact at Legendary as igniter	One-Off

50 × Scrap + 2 × Circuit Part → 1 × Fuel Cell (from reactor stage 1)

The reactor fuses scrap and circuit parts into fuel cells for the refinery's fuel chamber.

10 × Fuel Cell + 1 × Resonance → 1 × Plasma Cell (from reactor stage 1)

Ten fuel cells and one resonance make a plasma cell. It heats up the reactor chambers.

6 × Ember Quartz + 3 × Magmatite → 1 × Fusion Mantle (from reactor stage 1 · 60 s)

Ember quartz from the Ash Maw and magmatite from the Melt Vein. Needed to upgrade the reactor and for fusion.

6 × Core Crystal + 3 × Gravitite → 1 × Core Coil (from reactor stage 3 · 120 s)

Core crystal from the Core Chamber and gravitite from the Core Shaft. Needed for the last upgrade stage and the highest fusions.

Fuel cells power the drones on missions and speed up the refinery. drone missions
