Maybe, I'm just a scrub at this game (fair enough) but I find the concept of the "Omega Science Packs" just time wasters, the new promethium one is fine and makes sense given the theme of the mod, but having to import all of the other sciences just to zap them with photon, is making the research more tedious than it needs to be imo, even with multiple ships it takes awhile to basically import all the materials in the game. I've literally just started doing a routine.
step 1. build stuff with whats on hand
step 2. send ships out for supply run
step 3. go into the living room and watch an episode of something
step 4. see if supplies have made it back yet (usually yes sometimes no)
and repeat

I'm not a mega baser, I know "the factory must grow" and I know I probably just sound like I'm whining but good lord I feel like I have to expand everything just to not have to wait around for everything and then you add EVERY science on top of that into that routine? Have mercy please.
