The mass replicator is a late game console that must be purchased for 100 [[veldite]] and [[pyromanite]] on top of 15 [[kermiculite]]. The console is created just above the refining area, and can be used to artificially create all mineral types available by using your [[battlecruiser|battlecruiser's]] energy.
The mass replicator is a late game console unlocked after [[Tier upgrade|Tier 3 economy]] has been researched. The console uses energy from your battlecruisers main energy capacitor to artificially create any type of mineral. Each mineral type costs a different energy amount.


Currently, 1500 energy will produce 10 [[veldite]] while 2000 energy will produce either 10 [[chalcorium]] or [[pyromanite]], while 15000 energy can be expended to create 10 [[kermiculite]].

Due to the hefty cost of energy, mass replicator is often overlooked as it is simpler to gather the resources using a miner instead without the risk of draining all of your [[battlecruiser]]'s energy. However, in Game's which players may be having trouble finding specific resources, a replicator may help, and become an efficient tool through the use of Powerdocking, where it becomes highly effective, as energy can be regenerated quite quickly. A replicator should never be used in a combat situation, during combat preparations, or immediately after an engagement, as the heavy energy taxation greatly reduces the effective use of engines and shielding, in some cases, use of a replicator in battle conditions by an inexperienced or unaware player can, and most often will, cost that player's team the game.
