So listed are now the buildings and their titanium cost in () that I had researched: Xeno-Industrial Infrastructure (5), Sim Camps (30), Magnetic Fields Generators (5), Moonbase Alpha (3), Graviton-Shield Lab (15), National Museum (10), Cooperate Freedom (3), Unlimited Information Highways (15), Mining Union (40), Honeycomb Scope (15). Total cost of buildings I had was 141 Titanium.
Terra-forming planets cost somewhere from 10 to 13 per change.
Listed buildings & Titanium cost that I passed over researching: Exotic Rations (5), Electromagnetic Shield (15), System Shield (30), Patriot Pills Plant (7), AI Labor (20), Public Private Partnership (25). Total Cost of un-researched buildings was 102 Titanium.
This shows it would take nearly 100 turns without modifiers to get enough titanium to use the improvements for one system. Considering a system with a deposit probably needs to produce enough for 2.5 systems, you see the issue? Most times Mining Union wasn't worth building even if the system had titanium. the 50% boost on 1.3 titanium is roughly .7 it would take over 50 turns to get my return on this. I did build them in systems with multiple strategic resources. But all this had to be carefully weighed. The problem was exacerbated by the fact that this mod reduced the strength of deposits and increased the number of them. I understand the concern was to spread them out for more people, but this also had the unintended consequences of nerfing abilities that increased the deposit amount. Im also fairly sure those have been nerfed. The first planet specialization for increasing strategics gives 50% in the base game. The mod nerfs it to 33%. All of those abilities have been nerf when makes this so much worse.
I had systems that couldnt afford to build more buildings due to strategic cost and just turning production into dust/science. I had no change to use modules that costed strategic because all were needed for infrastructure. The game turned into a mini-game of strategic resource juggling.
Bumping it up one notch (to 1.33x I think) was perfect for me.
