Resource-building increments are campaign inputs. The current executable applies the configured increment to the matching production building, but a wiki-wide coefficient would be wrong for worlds that change that setting. Evidence

Use the active colony preview for current hourly production and the projected change shown for an upgrade. Comparisons between worlds must state the campaign settings used.

Safe comparison method

Use the upgrade preview on the active colony. Record current production, projected production, level, world identifier, and capture time. Repeat the same method for the comparison colony instead of applying a coefficient copied from another campaign.

Capacity consequence

Production upgrades shorten the time until that resource reaches its cap. An upgrade that looks efficient can still waste output if the matching capacity horizon or spending plan is not adjusted.

Publishing rule

A universal formula belongs in the wiki only when it is exposed by current build evidence and cannot be overridden by the world. Otherwise the article documents the method, not a borrowed number.

  3. Current culture-specific building namesThe current client maps Astraean storage to Solvault and Heliovex, Varkon storage to Skarncache and Voltforge, and Veil storage to Nyxvault and Gloamwell.

  4. Current building effectsThe first culture-specific storage building adds capacity for Vulkron, Aurelite, and Deuterium; the second adds Astra capacity.

  5. Installed 11.75 data tablesDirective and SPU tables were read from the same installed 11.75 build. Values are used only where the current table exposes them directly.Patch 11.75 · build a7b5c7c · verified 2026-07-30 · Content/Data/directive_paths.csv and Content/Data/spu_bonuses.csv.
  6. Active multiplayer-world boundaryThe multiplayer operator owns the world seed, pacing, simulation time, factions, global modifiers, and ship roster. World-specific values must therefore be labeled separately from core rules.Patch 11.75 · build a7b5c7c · verified 2026-07-30 · Current multiplayer client contract and read-only world/session telemetry.
  • ResourcesThe Riftborne economy consists of four stored resources whose value depends on production time, capacity, and scheduled spending.
  • The storage ruleStorage determines how long a base can continue producing before additional output is lost.
  • Astra upkeep and starvationAstra supports both construction and stationed fleets; a base at zero Astra begins losing garrisoned ships.
