Behold:

It provides +2 tech drone jobs, which already makes it the equivalent of Hydroponics Farms but for energy. But unlike farms it doesn't have upkeep costs, so it's already better.
On top of that, it produces +10 minerals and+ 10 energy, which makes it a more versatile version of the Bio-Reactor - but without the -25 food upkeep!
To make things even more ridiculous, it provides +5 Amenities, freeing up 1 maintenance drone to do more important stuff!
And because all that is not enough, it only costs 90 minerals (probably including some hidden bonus), making it one of the cheapest buildings in the game.
Also: No requirements to build it.

Sadly, this building is only available to Gestalt Consciousness empires and the only way to get it is via the Caravaneers. And the sector automation won't build it for you, so you'll have to do it manually. So seek the critters out and treat them nicely.

Yeah, I was honestly disappointed that ecological empires (Environmentalist/Agrarian Idyll/Conservationist) don't get access to it naturally, as I think it would fit them pretty well.
Well, it's easy to mod it at least.

And yeah, its original cost is 100 minerals, so there is some bonus here, but that's still damn cheap.

Yessssssssssssss. It's really good, but building slots are so precious that I don't think it's for every planet. No room on my rogue servitor research ecumenopolis unfortunately.
