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 and Electric engine (required to build the Rocket silo but not a prerequisite of the research), Electric energy accumulators and Solar energy (needed to build the Satellite) 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 5850

Science pack 2.png

X 5670

Science pack 3.png

X 2375

X 2600

In raw resources, this costs:

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.

Complete list of all intermediate products:

    260 Alien artifact
  1 713.333 Heavy oil
  2 375 Advanced circuit
  2 375 Battery
  2 375 Coal
  2 375 Fast inserter
  2 375 Filter inserter
  2 375 Steel plate
  4 750 Plastic bar
  4 750 Sulfur
  4 750 Sulfuric acid
  5 670 Transport belt
  8 045 Inserter
  8 365 Light oil
 14 250 Petroleum gas
 15 933.333 Crude oil
 16 730 Iron gear wheel
 27 045 Electronic circuit
 33 941.667 Water
 53 542.5 Copper ore
 53 542.5 Copper plate
 91 335 Iron ore
 91 335 Iron plate
 90 635 Copper cable

This tree doesn't include any military or logistics tech, so factor that in to your planning.
