I then multiplied universe matrices needed with the current vein consumption factor and thereby found out how many "raw" ressources (depleted from veins) e.g. lvl 6, the first infinite research: 4000 (matrices cost) x 73,4%(factor of vein consumption) => 2936 (cost of matrices with 100% vein consumption) | ||

I'm not 100% certain about these numbers, but I hope my point gets across, also you still need to refine these ressources which will drain a lot of computational power which will be the bottleneck there | I'm not 100% certain about these numbers, but I hope my point gets across, also you still need to refine these ressources which will drain a lot of computational power which will be the bottleneck there | ||
