Energy
Energy can be collected from map squares with, rivers, solar collectors and echelon mirrors, Thermal Boreholes, monoliths, forests, energy bonuses, the Uranium Flats, Geothermal Shallows, Pholus Ridge, or Mount Planet.
Certain facilities (Headquarters, Recycling Tanks/Pressure Dome, Hybrid Forest, Orbital Power Transmitter, and Thermocline Transducer) can increase the amount of energy produced by specific types of squares or the base square.
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, and Progenitor factions via the Energy Grid.
The energy output is then divided between econ (energy credits), psych (happiness), and labs (research) according to a factions social engineering settings.
