Description
Planetary Forge Networks synchronizes heavy industry across continents so exceptional orders do not paralyze ordinary production. Concentrate minerals, automation, and orbital capacity into unmatched construction throughput and system-scale works. +5% construction output.
Benefits
Ship production Empire-wide+5%
Construction output Empire-wide+5%
Strategy notes
Planetary Forge Networks develops the Construction discipline within Industrial Megastructure Empire. Concentrate minerals, automation, and orbital capacity into unmatched construction throughput and system-scale works. Its immediate value is +5% ship production throughput. The principal counterpressure is that its fixed yards, long supply chains, and visible projects are vulnerable to blockade and sabotage. This milestone deliberately joins completed material, industrial, or colony infrastructure research.
Player hints
This is a major commitment. Secure its required resources and protect the supporting infrastructure before assigning Critical priority. Favor this technology when its Construction 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. Every Construction prerequisite must be completed before research can begin. +5% construction output.
