Energy can be harvested from the following map squares either using workers from a base or supply crawlers: rivers, solar collectors and echelon mirrors, boreholes, monoliths, forests, the Uranium Flats, Geothermal Shallows, Pholus Ridge, and Mount Planet.

The following facilities can increase the amount of energy harvested by a base: Headquarters, Recycling Tanks/Pressure Dome, Hybrid Forest, Orbital Power Transmitter, and Thermocline Transducer.

The discovery of Environmental Economics lifts restrictions on the energy output of squares.

Human factions can also acquire energy to add to the output through commerce with other human factions.

The energy output is then divided between economy, psych and labs according to a factions social engineering settings.

The energy apportioned to economy can be supplemented at a base by the following facilities: Energy Bank, Fusion Lab, Hybrid Forest, Quantum Lab, and Tree Farm.

The net output of energy then goes to the factions energy reserves.
