Description
Ability to extract more useful materials from mined ore.
Benefits
Rare minerals cost Empire-wide-1.67%
Fuel cost Empire-wide+0.7%
Strategic materials cost Empire-wide-1.53%-
Rare minerals output Empire-wide+0.7%
Trade capacity Empire-wide+0.7%
Construction output Empire-wide+0.7%
Strategy notes
Completed materials and instruments support finite funded extraction. Raw effect deltas: -1.6744% rare mineral capital cost, -1.5349% strategic material capital cost, +0.6977% trade, +0.6977% fuel capital cost, +0.6977% rare mineral output, +0.6977% construction output. Existing consumers and combined-effect bounds apply. Fixed extraction infrastructure remains exposed to raiding and supply shortages.
Player hints
Complete every prerequisite before adding research progress. Completed materials and instruments support finite funded extraction. Passive modifiers retain their existing global scope; local mining modes affect only Ground, Core and Asteroid Mines.
