Parallel construction
Two build sites at once, at the price of a little efficiency.
Parallel constructionSite managers spent years insisting that crews could not be split without chaos. They were mostly right - which is why parallel work costs time per site.
Commanders take that trade anyway. Waiting on a single queue while a rival raises three buildings is its own kind of loss.
What it does
Each level adds one parallel build slot on a planet beyond the free baseline, up to level 10. Builds running in parallel take longer individually, so the gain is throughput rather than speed.
Requirements
- Research lab · level 1 or higher
- Construction center · level 1 or higher
Level 1 cost
- Pig iron775
- Crystal465
- Maximum level
- 10
- Base research time
- 50s
