The time machine. Needs a Chronos Core Blueprint. Finish it to win the season.
Pursue the season victory objective after securing its blueprint and construction requirements. Treat it as a sustained endgame commitment rather than an ordinary economic upgrade.
To establish this building, you need 👑 Grand Nexus level 1; a Chronos blueprint held at this outpost.
This building is exempt from the ordinary Main Building level cap. The level table shows the resource and time investment before bonuses.
Built draw is the standing load; active draw is additional demand while the building works. Compare both with generation and battery discharge capacity. Higher levels can raise demand as well as output; use the level table rather than assuming a linear power cost.
📸 Screenshot wanted: the Chronos Core detail panel in a colony (level, upgrade cost and its main controls visible). If the building has a Race name, one shot per Race is ideal.
