This mod is a comprehensive, UPS-friendly suite of adjustments designed for high-SPM Space Exploration + Krastorio 2 runs. It removes the bottlenecks that kill late-game momentum, allowing you to focus on scaling your factory to the 100k+ SPM level.

🛠️ What’s Included:

Endgame Efficiency Overhaul: Rebalanced recipes and tweaked throughput requirements across late-game tiers to ensure your production lines can actually scale.

Arcosphere Fracture Overdrive: The ultimate endgame solution. Reduces Arcosphere Fracture input costs and doubles outputs, preventing the "Arcosphere death spiral" that plagues high-volume setups.

UPS-Optimized Logic: All changes are implemented via direct prototype overrides. No scripts.

Giga-Base Balancing: Fine-tuned to allow your science production to hit 200k+ SPM without requiring 10,000+ rockets or breaking the Factorio engine.

Whether you are co-oping with friends or pushing for the ultimate SPM goal, this mod removes the "busywork" and technical deadlocks of standard SE/K2, letting you push your factory to its absolute limits.
