== Fusion and Plasma ==
Fusion is unlocked in late LuV, opening the gate to ZPM and also to very powerful power generation. The Fusion Reactor is needed to create some new materials, but the plasma itself can give out a lot of EU if processed in the right machines. Not all the outputs of the reactor are plasmas, but the ones that are can all be used to generate power.
The reactor itself needs a large, initial EU input to start working, and then needs additional energy while it processes the inputs into the outputs. If it ever stops, it will need the initial EU again to resume working. After getting it to work, the plasma can be moved into one of several machines. The most popular one is the Large Plasma Turbine, which converts it directly to EU and also outputs the molten version of the material that the plasma was made of. Instead of this, the Extreme Heat Exchanger can also be used to generate Steam from the plasma, adding another step to the process but increasing the fuel efficiency.
