Riftborne tracks four colony resources: Vulkron, Aurelite, Deuterium, and Astra. Each resource has its own current amount, capacity, and hourly trend. Evidence

Production buildings

Resource Production building
Vulkron Extractor
Aurelite Synthesiser
Deuterium Combinator
Astra Solar Array

The live interface reports all four resources together. Capacity is not a shared warehouse total: each resource has an independent cap. Production values and modifiers may differ by campaign, so the base preview is authoritative for the active world. Evidence

Capacity buildings

Culture Vulkron, Aurelite, and Deuterium Astra
Astraean Solvault Heliovex
Varkon Skarncache Voltforge
Veil Nyxvault Gloamwell

The first building in each row supplies capacity to the first three resources. The second supplies Astra capacity. Evidence

Practical reading

A capped resource cannot receive further passive production. Before leaving a colony unattended, compare its current amount, cap, and hourly trend with the next expected login. Transfers and spending decisions should use the figures displayed for that colony rather than a wiki-wide assumed production rate.

  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.

  7. Active multiplayer-world boundaryThe multiplayer operator owns the world seed, pacing, simulation time, factions, global modifiers, and ship roster.

  • 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.
  • Production scaling caveatProduction increments are campaign inputs; the active colony preview is the authority for a world’s current hourly output.
