Description
Autonomous Deep-Space Refineries: Completed swarm robotics and vacuum manufacturing improve global common-mineral output while preserving global fuel upkeep savings.
Benefits
Fuel upkeep Empire-wide-5%
Common minerals output Empire-wide+4%
Strategy notes
Completed swarm robotics and vacuum manufacturing improve global common-mineral output while preserving global fuel upkeep savings. Raw effect deltas: -5% fuel upkeep; +4% common mineral output. 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 swarm robotics and vacuum manufacturing improve global common-mineral output while preserving global fuel upkeep savings. Passive modifiers retain their existing global scope; local mining modes affect only Ground, Core and Asteroid Mines.
