Essentia is the most valuable resource in the Expanse. Empires should stop at nothing to acquire this resource. It can be used to subsidize the construction of buildings, thus reducing the time it takes to construct them. It can also be used to instantly transport resources by way of the Subspace Transporter. It rarely exists naturally, and even then in only small concentrations.

Tralala French: "You can also increase construction speed by 25% but that won't affect stuff already in the queue. So it's strategic to have nearly empty construction queues when you start the boost, and high level development ministry to fill it with the long to make stuff just before the boost ends. Or better yet don't let this boost end if you can afford the ressources and the essentia!! Also: all boosts last a week and buying it again before it ends gives you a one week extension."
