Player hints
This tier begins to define an empire. Compare its resource demand with the other technologies competing for your laboratories. Favor this technology when its PopulationControl 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.
