Deuterium Synthesizer - basic production
The deuterium synthesizer is responsible for producing deuterium, a resource required for fleet flights, technology development and maintaining advanced infrastructure. This is a building whose importance is felt most strongly by players developing their fleet and planning active expansion.
How does the deuterium synthesizer work?
The synthesizer produces deuterium every hour, but its efficiency does not depend only on the building level. The final result is also influenced by the average planet temperature. Colder planets produce more deuterium, which is why colony location is very important here.
Why is deuterium so important?
- it is fuel for the fleet,
- it is required for research and technologies,
- it becomes very important in the mid and late stages of the game,
- on cold planets it can provide very profitable production.
Deuterium synthesizer production table
The table below shows the base hourly production at 100% efficiency, without bonuses and without events, for x1 economy and for an example average planet temperature of 0°C. On colder planets the values will be higher, and on warmer planets lower.

FAQ - deuterium synthesizer
Does planet temperature affect deuterium production?
Yes. The colder the planet, the higher the deuterium production. This is one of the key factors when choosing a colony for developing this resource.
Does the deuterium synthesizer consume a lot of energy?
Yes. As the building gains levels, energy demand rises significantly, so efficient power sources are necessary.
When is it most profitable to develop the deuterium synthesizer?
Above all when you start using your fleet, research and transport between planets intensively.
