Strategy notes
Completed materials and instruments support finite funded extraction. Raw effect deltas: +0.5625% common mineral recovery, +0.5625% rare mineral recovery, +0.5625% fuel recovery, +0.9375% research output, -1.875% rare mineral capital cost, -1.5% fuel capital cost. 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 materials and instruments support finite funded extraction. Passive modifiers retain their existing global scope; local mining modes affect only Ground, Core and Asteroid Mines.
