It's odd that the science pack used to unlock this weapon isn't used to upgrade it. Artillery uses metallurgic science for upgrades, tesla turrets use electromagnetic science, and rockets use agricultural science. Railguns are the odd one out in that their damage upgrade doesn't use the science pack used to unlock the weapon.
Also, the shooting speed research *does* use the cryogenic science pack, so it's doubly odd.

Re: [2.0.22] Railgun damage doesn't take cryogenic science
Hi, the upgrade techs for railguns are split in that you need Metallurgic and Agriculture for Railgun damage upgrades and Cryogenic and EM Science for Railgun Shooting speed upgrades.
It's a little odd but that way you can improve your railguns even if you do not have fully automated all the sciences up to this point.

Re: [2.0.22] Railgun damage doesn't take cryogenic science
Yeah this isn't unintended. We did want to just split them apart so you have one half improving damage and the other half shooting speed. While I can see how it can feel inconsistent, I don't think it is a big problem. We could perhaps change it to cryogenic + something, I'll give it some thought! Thank you
