Strategy notes
Vacuum Megafactories 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% construction credit cost; unlocks Advanced Housing. 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 major commitment. Secure its required resources and protect the supporting infrastructure before assigning Critical priority. 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.
