Description
General knowledge on mining and extracting resources.
Benefits
Rare minerals cost Empire-wide-2%
Common minerals output Empire-wide+2%
Trade capacity Empire-wide+0.8%-
Common mineral abundance Empire-wide+1.2%
Strategy notes
Completed materials and instruments support finite funded extraction. Raw effect deltas: +0.8% trade, -2% rare mineral capital cost, +2% common mineral output, +1.2% common mineral recovery. Existing consumers and combined-effect bounds apply. Fixed extraction infrastructure remains exposed to raiding and supply shortages.
Player hints
Complete every prerequisite before adding research progress. Completed materials and instruments support finite funded extraction. Passive modifiers retain their existing global scope; local mining modes affect only Ground, Core and Asteroid Mines.
