Object description

Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

Rocket fuel productivity applies an additional productivity bonus to machines when they craft rocket fuels (but not when using recycler recipes to produce them). Every level gives +10% productivity.

Technology	Cost	Effects
1 Rocket fuel productivity 1	60 1 1 1 1 1 X `1000 × 1.5^(Level)` (eg. 1500 for level 1, 2250 for level 2, 3375 for level 3)	10% per level

Note that the 300% productivity limit does apply to this technology. It can be researched past level 30, but it will have no practical effect.

Thresholds

The table below shows the total productivity bonus at key research levels for Rocket fuel productivity (research), for each machine and module configuration. Applies to the Rocket fuel recipe (Assembling machine 3), the Rocket fuel from jelly recipe (Biochamber only), and the Ammonia rocket fuel recipe (Cryogenic plant only). Productivity is capped at 300%; cells shown in bold indicate that the configuration has reached the cap at that level and will not improve further with additional research.
