- "The boundary between cold water and warm, the Thermocline, has been important to undersea warfare for hundreds of years of man's history. Now we have found away to harness that power for constructive purposes. Once what cloaked us can now feed us. Once what shielded us from death, now brings us life."
– Captain Ulrik Svensgaard, "The Ripple and the Wave"
Thermocline Transducer is a base facility in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It was added in the Alien Crossfire expansion.
Strategy[]
It is impossible to get more than two energy per tile until you have Environmental Economics even if you are the faction Morgan Industries running Free Market and Wealth with the Merchant Exchange.
Sea bases would benefit greatly from this as they can have kelp and tidal harnesses built on each water square. See sea bases for more information on how to best manage them, and how to get the minerals you need there for building.
