Gravcore power cells are buildable ultratech power generators, used by gravships and added by the Odyssey DLC.

Acquisition[edit]

Gravcore power cells can be constructed, each requiring Gravcore 1 Gravcore, Gravlite panel 50 Gravlite panels, Advanced component 2 Advanced components, Steel 60 Steel, 67 ticks (1.12 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder, and a construction skill of 8.

Summary[edit]

Generates clean and free 1200 W while placed on a gravship, constantly. Gravcore power cells will not breakdown with time.

Like vanometric power cells and unstable power cells,Content added by the Royalty DLC gravcore power cells can be uninstalled to be moved elsewhere.

Analysis[edit]

The purpose of gravcore power cells is apparent, being locked to gravship use while also totally outmatching the performance of the other best power generator in the game, the vanometric power cell.

Usage of gravcore power cells is mainly limited by the availability of gravcores. These items are also used for grav field extenders and signal jammers. Until the limit of 6 extenders is reached, constructing gravcore power cells represents an opportunity cost; generating power, at the expense of potentially expanding the size of the gravship. However, using gravcore power cells can save space that would have otherwise been used for power generation or storage. After reaching the gravship limit of 6 extenders, however, any future gravcores acquired can (and should) be used to generate power.
