Description
Counter-Sabotage Fabricators builds authenticated components and recoverable control systems into strategic factories. It is an optional synthesis between Industrial Megastructure Empire and Security State, not a gate on either capstone.
Benefits
Credits upkeep Empire-wide-4%
Strategy notes
Counter-Sabotage Fabricators develops the Production discipline within Cross-Path Synthesis. This synthesis combines Industrial Megastructure Empire with Security State without replacing either core path. Its immediate value is -4% credit upkeep. The principal counterpressure is that cross-path investment delays a focused capstone and exposes two different resource dependencies.
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.
