Stronger explosives (research) affects the damage of grenades, rockets and landmines. In Space Age, levels 5 and 6 of the research require space science packs, and the infinite research requires agricultural science packs, but is otherwise unchanged.

Thresholds

The table below shows for each level of the stronger explosives research how many (normal quality) rockets are required in order to kill a small (S), medium (M), or big (B) promethium or other asteroids respectively. This takes into account, that the rocket turrets automatically overkill by 5%. For explosive rockets both the required number of direct hits (hit) and required number of times damage taken in the area of effect (AoE) are given.
