==Fusion Power Production Cycle==

The Fusion power cycle use hyperspace jumps to convert power -> [[Deuterium]] -> MUCH MORE power

40MW -> 20 [[Hyperspace Isotopes]] -> 15 [[Stable Isotopes]] -> 30 [[Deuterium]] -> 7500 MW

[[Fusion Reactor]] (Base Peek Consumption*)

[1s] 2 [[Deuterium]] -> 500 MW

Chem Lab (1 per 2 Fusion Reactors*)

[5s] 10 [[Stable Isotopes]] -> 20 [[Deuterium]]

[1s] 2 [[Stable Isotopes]] -> 4 [[Deuterium]]

Refinery** (2 per 5 Chem Labs*)

[3s] 20 [[Hyperspace Isotopes]] -> 15 [[Stable Isotopes]]

[1s] 6.66 [[Hyperspace Isotopes]] -> 5 [[Stable Isotopes]]

Hyperspace Scoop (Peek Consumption*)

[1s] 100 MW -> 50 [[Hyperspace Isotopes]]

*: Reactor Efficiency Research, actual power draw, and time spent in Hyperspace can all affect these ratios. Use storage wisely to balance these highly variable loads. In practice, any ship that makes semi-regular FTL jumps can easily keep multiple [[Fusion Reactor]]s running with just a few tanks, a [[Chemistry Lab]], a [[Refinery]], and a few [[Hyperspace Scoop]]s. Larger tanks and more scoops allow you to operate longer between jumps, whereas more reactors/labs/refineries increases your max sustainable power output.

**: The best storage stage (0.5 storage/Deut equivalent) is Stable Isotopes. And since it takes only 1-2 [[Chemistry Lab]]s to support MANY Fusions reactors it's worth having extra refineries to compact Hyper into Stable then store the stable.
