Pressurizer

Summary

The pressurizer is a versatile upgrade item that costs 565 iridium and provides production buffs for both the Well Pump and Sentry. When applied to a Well Pump, it increases its base production from 10 iridium per second (i/s) by an additional 10 i/s for each pressurizer installed, with stacking allowed for further output boosts. When applied to a sentry, the pressurizer enhances its built-in extractor, increasing the Sentry's iridium production rate beyond the base 5 i/s provided by its pipe upgrade. This makes the pressurizer a dual-purpose item, benefiting both resource production and defensive capabilities by sustaining the Sentry's ammunition consumption. Despite its high upfront cost, the pressurizer excels in increasing resource generation and bolstering defensive structures, making it an essential tool for scaling iridium production and fortifying strategic positions.

Overview

The pressurizer is a high-cost building designed to enhance resource production and defensive capabilities. It increases the output of Well Pumps by 10 iridium per second (i/s) and boosts the iridium generation of sentries, enabling them to sustain their ammunition needs more efficiently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Can stack production onto eachother.
• Works passively.
• Significant Buff to Production

Cons

• High placement cost relative to normal tank capacity.
• Requires a opening on a well pump pipe.
• Slow returns on investment.
