Object description

Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

The plastic bar productivity research increases the productivity of machines that craft plastic bars by 10% (flat) per level.

Technology	Cost	Effects
1 Plastic bar 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 Plastic bar productivity (research), for each machine and module configuration. Applies to the Plastic bar recipe (Chemical plant, Biochamber, and Cryogenic plant) and the Bioplastic recipe (Biochamber 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.
