Description
Modular Construction Technology revolutionizes building practices by introducing pre-fabricated modules that can be assembled quickly and efficiently on-site. This approach significantly reduces construction time, lowers costs, and allows for greater flexibility in architectural design, making it easier to expand or modify structures as your empire grows.

Strategy notes
Modular Construction develops the Construction discipline within Industrial Megastructure Empire. Concentrate minerals, automation, and orbital capacity into unmatched construction throughput and system-scale works. Its immediate value is -5% Rare Minerals Cost; Medium Housing; +20% Production. The principal counterpressure is that its fixed yards, long supply chains, and visible projects are vulnerable to blockade and sabotage. This milestone deliberately joins completed material, industrial, or colony infrastructure research.
Player hints
This is an inexpensive path entry. Research it early when you want to test this direction without sacrificing strategic flexibility. Favor this technology when its Construction benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects. Every Construction prerequisite must be completed before research can begin.
