Robotics Factory

Overview

The Robotics Factory produces construction robots that speed up building times on the planet. Every level halves the remaining build time, making it one of the highest-leverage infrastructure investments.

Base Stats

Property	Value
Base cost	400 Metal · 120 Crystal · 200 Deuterium
Cost factor	2× per level
Prerequisites	none

Cost Formula

\text{Cost}(L) = \left\lfloor 400 \times 2^{L-1} \right\rfloor \text{ Metal}, \quad \left\lfloor 120 \times 2^{L-1} \right\rfloor \text{ Crystal}, \quad \left\lfloor 200 \times 2^{L-1} \right\rfloor \text{ Deuterium}

Cost Table

Level	Metal	Crystal	Deuterium
1	400	120	200
2	800	240	400
3	1,600	480	800
4	3,200	960	1,600
5	6,400	1,920	3,200
6	12,800	3,840	6,400
8	51,200	15,360	25,600
10	204,800	61,440	102,400

Build Time Reduction

\text{Build time}(L) = \frac{\text{Base time}}{1 + R + N}

where $R$ is Robotics Factory level and $N$ is Nanite Factory level × 2 raised to its level.

More precisely:

T = \frac{\text{hours to build at level 0 robots}}{1 + R} \div 2^N

Combined Effect

A Robotics Factory 10 + Nanite Factory 1 reduces build time to roughly 1/22 of the original. Every Nanite Factory level doubles the division again.

Tips

Build to 10 Before Nanite

Robotics Factory level 10 is the prerequisite for the Nanite Factory. Prioritise this on your main planet.

All Planets Benefit

Each colony should have at least Robotics Factory 5–7 to keep construction queues flowing during off-hours.

No Energy Cost

Unlike the mines, the Robotics Factory consumes no energy — there is no downside to levelling it.
