Megastructure
Galactic Crucible
Creuset galactique
Description
This vast station siphons energy from its host star, powering automated shipyards that produce Conduits; vessels capable of reshaping stellar destinies.
Where to build it
- Cannot construct in the same system as an existing Arc Furnace
- Cannot construct in the same system as an ongoing Arc Furnace construction
- Cannot build around Black Holes, Neutron Stars or Pulsars.
- Cannot build this in Binary or Trinary systems.
- Cannot build due to existing Megastructure.
- Cannot build in systems with existing colonies
- Cannot destroy one of our Consecrated Worlds.
Construction stages
1. Galactic Crucible Frame
The foundational framework of a Galactic Crucible, built to support and guide the rest of the station's construction.
- Cost
- 500 Crystallized Entropy, 2,500 Alloys
720 days to build
2. Galactic Crucible Chassis
With its core infrastructure complete, the Galactic Crucible is now a functional station. Construction of the entropy crystallization systems is already underway.
- Cost
- 5,000 Crystallized Entropy
3,600 days to build
3. Galactic Crucible Core
The Galactic Crucible is now fully operational and ready to expand deployment of Crystallized Entropy. All future upgrades will depend on this foundation.
Complete the Special Project to unlock the next stage.
- Cost
- 7,500 Crystallized Entropy
3,600 days to build
4. Galactic Crucible Hub
The expanding Galactic Crucible now features modular entropic systems, designed for seamless reconfiguration and growth. Technicians can increase its capacity while minimizing inefficiencies.
- Cost
- 12,500 Crystallized Entropy
3,600 days to build
5. Galactic Crucible
Fully armed and operational, the Galactic Crucible stands ready to unleash its fiery scouring across the galaxy. Entropic flux systems now operate at peak theoretical efficiency.
- Cost
- 15,000 Crystallized Entropy
3,600 days to build
