Harmonic Damper
Essentially a gigantic phase coil mounted on a planet instead of a warship. Selective phasing of small portions of the planetary surface suppresses vibrations from tectonic activity. The military applications of this device are readily apparent, but the superhuman reflexes of an AI core will be required to use it to the fullest extent.
Enabled by default: No (use LunaLib settings to enable)
Build cost: 300,000¢
Build time: 60 days
Monthly upkeep: 2,000¢ * (colony size - 2)
Supply: (none)
Demand: (none)
Effects:
- Suppresses tectonic activity.
- Suppresses extreme tectonic activity.
AI core effects:
Increases ground defenses by x2.0.
Increases ground defenses by x1.5.
Increases ground defenses by x1.25.Notes:
- Cannot be constructed on stations.
- AI cores installed in this building do not reduce upkeep or demand, unlike most other industries and structures. Their only effect is the ground defense multiplier listed above.
- An operational Harmonic Damper on a colony allows Domed Cities to be constructed even in the presence of Extreme Tectonic Activity.
