I quote this for the reference to the energy production formula I've bolded.comettail27 wrote:this could be a bug but look... no deuterium composition.
Fusion Reactor
In fusion power plants, hydrogen nuclei are fused into helium nuclei under enormous temperature and pressure, releasing tremendous amounts of energy. For each gram of Deuterium consumed, up to 41,32*10^-13 Joule of energy can be produced; with 1 g you are able to produce 172 MWh energy.
Larger reactor complexes use more deuterium and can produce more energy per hour. The energy effect could be increased by researching energy technology. The energy production of the fusion plant is calculated like that:
30 * [Level Fusion Plant] * (1,05 + [Level Energy Technology] * 0,01) ^ [Level Fusion Plant]
Level Energy production Difference Deuterium consumption Difference

I have fusion reactors on a number of my planets, made before I knew better. They range from lvl 4 to 8. So I raised my energy tech from 12 to 13, and my fusion reactor output did not change at all. So I'm guessing that energy tech does NOT improve fusion reactor output.
