Fusion reactors ~~may be found on~~ [[~~Derelict Ship~~]]~~s when salvaging~~ via [[~~Logistics Drone~~]]s. ~~They~~ require [[~~Deuterium~~]] ~~as a fuel source~~, which ~~may be bought from~~ [[~~Trade|traders~~]].

'''Fusion reactors''' require [[Deuterium]] as a fuel source, which is supplied via pipe. Fusion reactors deliver power equivalent to 5 normal [[reactor]]s but require about half the space.

Fusion reactors require [[power]] to activate, and must fully activate before they begin providing power. The reactor takes 40 seconds to activate, during which its power consumption will increase up to 500 Mw. In total it will draw 10,050 Mw during activation. Once activated, the reactor will stop requiring power and begin providing it.

Currently (Alpha 14), the [[power grid]] will show the fusion reactor contributing to power supply during activation, but this is misleading as the reactor's power is not actually supplied until activation completes.

~~A fusion reactor requires 100 power to spin up but charges like other equipment. After spinning up, it begins to take in deuterium. Once powered, they remain powered if fueled~~.
