Description
Self-Replicating Shipyards Technology enables shipyards to create smaller versions of themselves, exponentially increasing production capacity.
Benefits
Credits cost Empire-wide+0.46%
Construction output Empire-wide+5.54%
Ship production Empire-wide+5.54%
Research output Empire-wide+0.46%
Strategy notes
Self-Replicating Shipyards 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 +5% Cost in Credits; +60% Production, +60% 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 a specialization milestone. Reaching it reveals stronger combinations, but broad tier-three investment will slow every capstone. 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.
