Moving science research to Gleba?

Post by NineNine »

I'm just now making my first science on Gleba, and it's very slow for now. As a result, I'm thinking of moving all of my science to Gleba so that I can use some of the Gleba science research before it spoils. I'm going to keep my production of science on the other planets where I make it, but just fly the finished science to Gleba for research. Has anybody else done that? Does that make sense to do?

Shortly after getting Agricultural Science you can unlock biter capture and biolabs, which can only be used on Nauvis and double the value of your science packs. So as long as you can get your Agricultural Science to Nauvis less than half spoiled, you're better off shipping it there.

I did not know that! (Apparently, I should spend more time reading the tech tree.) Thanks for saving me many hours of reconfiguring everything. I will limp along with sending Gleba science to Nauvis for now.

I believe producing some extra science on Gleba has its virtues anyways. Its on my todo list (mostly because its a fun idea to me), to create all possible sciences on Gleba, since all of the resources there are 100 % free and infinite - except for the caveat of "having to" import stone. Really cant be bothered to setup a train network there.

Why not have an array of labs boost your research speed for the steel plate, rocket fuel and plastic productivity?
