  NCS, NCUs, and NCU EXPANSIONS

  The NCS (Nano Control System) can be upgraded in various ways. Two ways are by NCUs (Nano Control Units) which dedicate nanites to a specific task. The main way of acquiring NCU upgrades is through the NCS. These System NCUs cost a percentage of energy gathered and slow down energy gathering and self-cultivation. The NCS itself requires an energy cost of 6% gathered energy just to have it active.

  The second way is to buy (for crystals from a crafter or other source external to the NCS) NCU expansions for expansion slots. These NCUs provide their service for free as long as they remain slotted. Slots are opened by applying energy credit and have a subsequently and progressively more expensive cost to open additional slots. Tech 1s NCS have maximum of 4 expansion slots. Tech 2s have 8. Tech 3s have 12. Tech 4s have 16. Tech 5s have a yet unknown amount.
