Description
Basic Assembly Technology equips your empire with the foundational techniques for constructing spacecraft. By standardizing basic assembly processes and utilizing efficient production methods, this technology lays the groundwork for building reliable and versatile spaceships, essential for exploration, trade, and defense.
Benefits
Construction output Empire-wide+3.27%
Ship production Empire-wide+2.18%
Wages Empire-wide-0.55%
Strategy notes
Basic Assembly develops the Production discipline within Industrial Megastructure Empire. Concentrate minerals, automation, and orbital capacity into unmatched construction throughput and system-scale works. Its immediate value is +10% Production; -5% Wages; +20% Production. The principal counterpressure is that its fixed yards, long supply chains, and visible projects are vulnerable to blockade and sabotage.
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 Production 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.
