Rocket silo (research)

Rocket silo (research)/infobox

Because the Rocket silo is at the end of a deep research tree, researching it and the techs leading up to it is a significant fraction of the cost of winning the game. Including Concrete (required to build the Rocket silo but not a prerequisite of the research), Electric energy accumulators and Solar energy (needed to build the Satellite), Automation 2 (needed to make Processing Units) and Advanced oil processing (which pays for itself by more than doubling Petroleum gas yields), you will need the following to research Rocket silo:

X 5650

X 5470

X 2375

X 2600

In raw resources, this costs:

• 260 Alien artifact
• 2375 Coal
• 15933.333 Crude oil
• 33941.667 Water
• 53042.5 Copper ore
• 89835 Iron ore

Note: These numbers assume all oil processing is done with Advanced oil processing, except for what is needed to get that tech itself. Every additional Science pack 3 you assemble while using Basic oil processing ultimately costs an extra 4/3 units of Crude oil.
