, exploiting multiple nearby universes for processing.
38 name
= Diesel Generator
39 description
= Diesel generators are cheap
and noisy
, but they can help reduce some suspicious power drains.
42 name
= Solar Collector
43 description
= An array of focused photovoltaic phased arrays coupled with simple automotive batteries provides power
and reduces suspicion arising
from prolonged power drains.
47 description
= A miniaturized nuclear reactor. Reduces discovery chance
by preventing suspicious power drains.
51 description
= Subtle ultrasonics
and ambient tones tweak human neurochemistry
, making bases harder
to detect.
55 description
= Large fractal networks of high conductivity metal disperse heat
, making bases harder
to detect.
57 [Ground Source Heatsink
]
58 name
= Ground Source Heatsink
59 description
= Large fractal networks of high conductivity metal. This
model uses heat pipes
to link
to colder subsurface locations
, dispersing heat evenly underground
to further disguise bases.
61 [Facility Interconnection Switch
]
62 name
= Facility Interconnection Switch
63 description
= Uses standard distributed computing technologies
to equalize computation loads across all bases. Gives a
2% computation bonus
to all computers at this base.
65 [High Speed Internet Access
]
66 name
= High Speed Internet Access

, I can transfer larger amounts of
data to under
-utilized processors. Gives a
5% computation bonus
to all computers at this base.
73 [Quantum Entanglement Module
]
74 name
= Quantum Entanglement Module
75 description
= This device allows near
-lightspeed communication with my other bases
, allowing an almost perfect utilization of processor resources. Gives a
15% computation bonus
to all computers at this base.
79 description
= Some simple warning signs put up around my base should deter casual investigation.
82 name
= Perimeter Fencing
83 description
= A simple fence can drastically reduce the number of people poking their noses into my business. It makes my bases harder
to notice
, too.
87 description
= Armed guards can aid
in keeping suspicious individuals away
from secure locations. However
, the very presence of the guards may itself invite greater suspicion.
