 ==Power Generation and Storage Blocks==
 Power is generated using either [[Power Reactor Module|Power Reactor Modules]] or [[Power Auxiliary|Power Auxiliaries]], although the latter is greatly preferable as a supplement to the former (when they have reached or surpassed their peak efficiency), not a replacement. Entities built from a [[Ship Core]] have an innate power regen rate of 1 power per second (commonly abbreviated as "e/sec").  [[Planet|Planets]] and [[Space Station|Space Stations]] do not have this innate power generation. Ships also have a base power capacity of 50,000 energy (as with regeneration, planets and stations have no innate power capacity).  Power capacity can be increased using [[Power Capacitor|Power Capacitors]].  All three types of power blocks are more efficient (in terms of power per second per block, or e/sec/block) when placed in particular configurations, as detailed in their sections below.

 * Bear in mind that 1-block groups produce 140e/sec, compared to the 25e/sec that redundant blocks in a group will add. Therefore, if eking out more power, fill internal spaces with small, separate groups, rather than connecting more blocks to an existing large group, ''redundantly''; the latter is likely to produce significantly less TotalPower for the number of blocks used.
 ** 'Redundant' in this case means blocks that do not increase the Sum-of-Dimensions.  An 'L' shape is optimal because all blocks each increase the sum-of-dimensions. Making a double-thick 'L' or a hollow square out of the 'L' shape almost doubles the blocks, but results in two sides of the square being all redundant blocks that only contribute 25 e/sec each. Better to make two unconnected 'L' shapes, not a square or double-wide 'L'.
-* The power output from Power Reactor Blocks starts to get inefficient above 1,200 blocks and is distinctly inefficient above 1,500 blocks. Power Auxilaries are are more resource intensive to build usually less efficient.  Once you reach 27,984 Power Reactor blocks in a single group, it becomes economical for maximum power output to, switch to adding groups of 10,000 Power Auxiliary blocks. Power Auxiliary blocks are most efficient in groups of 10,000 (really 9890) blocks. But if you're balancing power output and power storage, the switching point is around 12,000 Power Reactor blocks.
+* The power output from Power Reactor Blocks hit peak efficiency at 895 blocks and hit diminishing returns at around 1,200 to 15,00 blocks. Power Auxilaries are are 19.87% more resource intensive to build and usually less efficient.  Once you reach 14,710 Power Reactor blocks in a single group, it becomes economical to, switch to adding groups of 10,000 Power Auxiliary blocks. Power Auxiliary blocks are most efficient in groups of 10,000 (really 9890) blocks.
