Object description

Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

Railgun damage applies a +40% bonus to the damage of railgun ammo for each level of research.

Technology	Cost	Effects
1 Railgun damage 1	60 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 X `1000*2^(Level-1)` (eg. 1000 for level 1, 2000 for level 2, 4000 for level 3)	40% per level

Thresholds

The table below shows for each level of the railgun damage research how much (normal quality) railgun ammo is required in order to kill a big (B) or huge (H) promethium asteroid or other huge asteroids. This takes into account that the railgun turrets automatically overkill asteroids by 1%.
