I finally hit enough research productivity to reach 1M eSPM in my mega factory. Im playing the simple-seablock mod which turns space age into a seablock experience which is pretty cool and scratching that itch before the proper seablock is updated for 2.0. Im also playing with the no-space-platforms mod because building spaceships is my least favourite part of the game, but this does remove space and promethium science from the game. Its a bit of a shame that there isnt some other recipe for the space sciences, would love to see it updated with some new recipes that mimic the base recipes somehow.

Each of the sciences has its own dedicated builds that output 4 stacked turbo belts (960 SPM) with molten iron and copper piped in. Here are pics of all of the science builds.

Automation Science

Logistic Science

Military Science

Chemical Science. This breaks from the pattern a bit as there are 6 science builds and engines are seperate.

Production Science

Utility Science

Nauvis map overview. The science builds are along the top left with the labs below them. Bottom right is the starter factory and top left is the egg upcycling to make legendary T3 production modules and bio labs.

Metallurgic Science

Vulcanus map overview. In the centre is the science build and the top right is the agriculture towers growing ashland trees to make carbon (part of the simple-seablock mod). The rest of the factory is making rocket parts for Aquilo and all the legendary stuff.

Electromagnetic Science

Fulgora map view. On the right are 8x of the science builds pictured above, and in the centre are 3x columns for electromagnetic plant upcycling. Over on the left is the starter factory.

Agriculture Science.

Gleba map overview. The science builds are on the far right. The rest of the factory is the starter base and some legendary upcycling builds for spoilage, carbon-fibre, jelly, eggs, and bioflux.

Cryogenic Science

All the science is sent back to Nauvis (instantly from the no-space-platform mod) and sent to the biolab setup. Each column has 82 legendary labs for just over 120 SPM consumption.

The rivers of science into the labs

Stable production and consumption of 57600 SPM of each science (with a little excess of agri) and a overall research productivity of 770% results in >1M eSPM.

Science production stats

Total science production is around 100M for each science (some are a big higher, some a bit lower).
