Synthetic Fossil Fuels Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Synthetic Fossil Fuels SMAC

Synthetic Fossil Fuels is an Explore technology 4 in Firaxis' TBS Game of 1999, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC).

• Synthetic Fossil Fuels unlocked by: High Energy Chemistry, Gene Splicing
• Synthetic Fossil Fuels unlocks Technologies: Doctrine Air Power, Organic Superlubricant
• Synthetic Fossil Fuels unlocks Unit Advances: Missile Launcher (6), Fungicide Tanks

The extreme efficiency with which the neural net fungus managed Planet's vast ecosystem kept extensive deposits of organic material from forming over the epochs. Because of this lack, the fossil fuels known on Earth never developed, forcing early colonists to rely on less efficient alternative sources of energy. However, advances in Advanced Subatomic Theory (B3) and Gene Splicing (B3) finally allow scientists to short-circuit the eons-long process, providing them with the Synthetic Fossil Fuels needed to build advanced vehicles and machinery.
