Synaptic Lathe is OP
Playing cosmogenesis for the first time on GA, 1000 star galaxy - and wow, the new tech options are almost on par with gigastructures mod without being too silly.
Anyway, the synaptic lathe feels unbalanced. I’m burning only 2 pops a month (xenos-furnace) and generating 2M science in return. Research from neural chips stack exponentially so the more pops you throw in, the higher your research will be.
I wasn’t even going for a max research build, it’s quite balanced. Here’s what I put in my synaptic lathe: - 6x Neural Gates : cos you don’t need advanced logic unless you are rushing to win the game - 2x Expanded Reactor: -15% energy upkeep each - 2x Neural Stabiliser: +15 stability each - 2x OPAF Synaptic Resonator: +1% neural chip output
Now, with 1000 pops, the synaptic resonate is actually giving me +1000% output each, resulting in my 2M science output.
I actually have 5.6k pops so maybe I’ll throw in 5k to see what numbers I can produce. The remaining 600 can migrate to the next galaxy :)
