They scale just fine. Plus, they have no ongoing fuel or electricity costs.

    I stopped bothering to collect them in my current playthrough when I hit 500 power shards, enough to fill the fully upgraded dimensional depot, which was pretty easy by making the shards in a constructor with a somersloop.

    Same way I make alien DNA capsules, though that process quadruples the output instead of just doubling it.

    Later, you can make them automatically, so there’s really no point in collecting even as much as I did.

    Anyway, extraction is the best place for overclocking, but sometimes it does make it easier to smooth out output without adding several additional machines. Not something to just do everywhere through
