This facility has the distinction of being the most expensive
facility to build and mainatin. It's probably worth it. Not only does it pull
its weight as one of the quartet of mineral-enhancing facilities ( with Genejack
Factory , Robotic Assembly Plant and Quantum
Converter ) , but unlike those others, it actually reduces the overall effect
of mineral production on Planet's ecology. Basically it cleans up its own mess
( although it will still need to be combined with Centauri
Preserve and Temple of Planet to fully minimize
the damage from a high-production base ).
On the other hand, this can definately be a budget-buster,
particularly if you're to a point in your development strategy where you're building
lots of Nanoreplicators in different bases. So you're well advised to have your
Energy Bank and Fusion Lab
up and running before building a Nanoreplicator ( and be ready to add a Quantum
Lab shortly thereafter ).
