Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

This article is about the new equipment introduced in Space Age. For the base game reactor equipment, see Portable fission reactor.

Portable fusion reactors are advanced power generating modules for equipment grids, and the most powerful one in Space Age. They generate 2.5 MW of power, equivalent roughly 83.3 portable solar panels or 3.3 portable fission reactors, while taking up only a 4×4 area in the equipment grid.

Portable fusion reactors are an unlimited source of energy and require nothing to power them.

Trivia

• The model is a reference to the movie Back to the Future Part II, specifically the "Mr. Fusion" item on the back of the DeLorean. The "Mr. Fusion" is itself a riff on "Mr. Coffee", as the prop was a modified coffee maker.
• The portable fusion reactor is the only item in base game Factorio to become Space Age exclusive content.
• Due to the simplification of the spidertron's recipe, the portable fusion reactor and the quantum processor are the only items in the Space Age expansion that require more than 5 ingredient types to craft.
