ERN Portal

A partially populated ERN Portal on a map

The ERN Portal is used to upgrade up to 6 capabilities in 3 main areas - production, speed and weapons. Each upgrade needs a free ERN Crystal. Upgrades need some time (120 seconds) to fully power up, and can be deactivated at any time to release the ERN Crystal.

Releasing or re-assigning an ERN will reset any power up progress.

1) The precise formula is a complex calculation based on a per-square of soylent ( it factors in the count, and the number of trees). For miners, is a straight 50% boost (1 to 1.5 for a miner)
2) Affects all units where the entire model is moved, as well as aerial units and factory drones. Porter drone and terp drones are not affected
3), 4) For details on the upgrade effect on units, see Player Unit Data
