The '''Space science pack''' is an end-game [[Science pack]]. Unlike the other science packs, the space science pack is not directly craftable. Instead, it is obtained by launching a rocket from a [[rocket silo]] equipped with a [[satellite]]. 1000 space science packs are obtained each time a rocket with a satellite is launched. The rocket silo can hold no more than 2000 space science packs, remaining science packs are discarded when launching the rocket. Space science packs are used in all [[Technologies#Infinite_technologies|infinite technologies]].

The Space Science [[Technologies|technology]] is required for the satellite, which, in combination with the [[rocket silo]], is used to obtain the science packs.
==Costs==
The cost to launch a rocket with a satellite is:

* {{icon|Rocket part|100}} <big>'''+'''</big> {{icon|Satellite|1}}
** {{icon|Low density structure|1k}} + {{icon|Rocket fuel|1k}} + {{icon|Rocket control unit|1k}} <big>'''+'''</big> {{icon|Low density structure|100}} + {{icon|Solar panel|100}} + {{icon|Accumulator|100}} + {{icon|Radar|5}} + {{icon|Processing unit|100}} + {{icon|Rocket fuel|50}}

For each rocket launched, the Rocket silo gains 1000 Space science packs.

Express transport belt

2019-02-27T18:55:47Z

Jhilgard: v0.17 change to belt throughput. Note that I don't know whether to update the other values.

{{Languages}}{{:Infobox:Express transport belt}}
'''Express transport belts''' are a faster variant of the [[transport belt]], operating at triple speed. They are the third and final tier among the [[Belt transport system|transport belts]].

Unlike previous tiers, express transport belts rely on [[oil processing]] for [[lubricant]]. Therefore, it is recommended to restrict their production in early-game until high throughput is needed.

{{Languages}}{{:Infobox:Transport belt}}
The '''transport belt''' is the easiest and cheapest method of automatic item transportation. It is the first tier among the three [[belt transport system|transport belts]].

No prior [[research]] is required and it is available from the beginning of the game.
