The commas are periods and periods are commas, just like when looking at armor/shield/weapon points on the ships.

Thats how I did it and it worked.

If you had Energy level 10 with Level 5 Fusion Reactor it would be calculated as:

30*5*(1.05+10*0.01)^5

30*5*(1.15)^5

30*10(Rounded)=300 (Give or take a few, depending on how and when they round)

Just follow the order of operations and it'll work. I tried on mine and its close, but off by about 10 or so.

And for anyone that hasn't done math in a while the order of operations are:

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication/Division (From Left to Right)
Addition/Subtraction (From Left to Right)

You may have been going out of order from that, I'm not really sure. I don't think the formula there and the one that shows on the resource page is the same, mines off by 17.

It seems the numbers listed in the Fusion Reactor Sub-menu are not correct. At all, actually. It off by over half. The number listed in the resource page is correct (Almost) its the Fusion Reactor page thats messed up.

Also, you probably already know this, but the "Difference" part of the Fusion Reactor page is written as the difference from Level X and the lowest level listed. Might want to rewrite that to show difference between your Level X and your CURRENT level, like that of the Solar Plant page.

The equation has been quoted wrong. I'm guess that is because it was changed at some point and not updated in the description.

The correct equation is:
Energy = 100 * {Reactor level} * (1 + {Energy Tech Level} * 0.01) ^ {Reactor level}

I'm just a genius with too much time and not enough Uranium...
