Description
Basic Shipyard Construction Technology introduces the fundamental concepts for building shipyards capable of producing simple spacecraft.
Benefits
Construction output Empire-wide+2.4%
Ship production Empire-wide+2.4%
Research output Empire-wide+1.2%
Strategy notes
Basic Shipyard Construction 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, +10% Space Production; +5% Research. 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.
