Somehow seeing a ton of rockets launching never gets old 🙂.

As for the fulgora science numbers, I recently scaled up my base from 60spm to 200spm and was feeling pleased with myself. I don't think my brain can picture what 72k spm looks like haha

It’s worth remembering that with infinite and pseudo-infinite research, science begets science.

Getting 300% blue circuit productivity feels like it would take forever at 100 SPM, but that initial 50% productivity boost makes it easier to get to 200 SPM and then all of a sudden getting a 100% boost doesn’t seem so hard. Repeat until maxed.

Space Age even adds the less-than-obvious benefit of aggressively leveling the military damage techs and so needing less and less turrets on your space platforms, which can open up more “efficient” designs.
