Description
Recursive Factory Design uses one generation of automated plant to manufacture the precision machinery required by the next. Concentrate minerals, automation, and orbital capacity into unmatched construction throughput and system-scale works.
Benefits
Ship production Empire-wide+7%
Strategy notes
Recursive Factory Design 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 +7% ship production throughput. The principal counterpressure is that its fixed yards, long supply chains, and visible projects are vulnerable to blockade and sabotage.
Player hints
This is late-path research. Treat it as a strategic objective measured in weeks or months, and expect rivals to react to the capability. 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.
