Deuterium

Deuterium, also known as "deut", is one of the three main resources in the game.

Deuterium (also known as heavy hydrogen, or heavy water) is a hydrogen atom with an additional neutron and is very well suited as fuel for ships because of the high energy yield and easy ignition of the Deuterium-Deuterium and Deuterium-Tritium fusion reactions. Deuterium is found in the deep sea due to its molecular weight.

Upgrading the Deuterium Synthesizer enables deeper sea harvesting of this resource. In game, deuterium has three major applications:


 * Build and research: it is used in the creation of some ship types and facilities, as well as the research of some technologies;
 * Fuel: every ship uses deuterium as its fuel;
