The Spice Rack - Science

Small, but impactful changes to science, labs and rocket silo to increase difficulty.

Settings:

Lab

The lab needs 3 times more power and a lamp to construct (20 lamps are added at the beginning, also for dark moments)

Utility science

Utility science pack requires uranium-238

Production Science & Furnace progression

Furnaces depend on lower tiers, so it affects production science pack and early game The stone furnace is built from stone bricks, which affects early game. The steel furnace just needs additional steel. The electric furnace needs additional concrete instead of bricks (less steel compared to vanilla)

Rocket silo

The rocket silo research needs additional military science. The rocket silo needs refined concrete instead of concrete and a programmable speaker
