Condensed Science

by NOiZE

Compress science packs into heavy barrels (100 packs per barrel). Launch up to 50 barrels per rocket (5,000 science) without using more cargo stacks. Auto-supports modded science packs. Works great with 'Tintable Centrifuges' mod for colored centrifuge effects!

b Science prerequisites make this literally useless

The placement of this tech makes it literally useless. By the time you can research it, you've already researched almost the entire tech tree. I suggest unlocking the recipes progressively with the science packs. It could either be included in each science tech, or in a set of techs which rely on the science being condensed. As is, this mod essentially just gives you nothing but hopes and dreams. Has the mod author tried playing a new game with this mod?

I did, although i also made the change with another mod that my rockets were way more expensive...

You can send 5 times the science per rocket with this mod, that's quite significant IMO.

I loaded the mod up with a stack size changing mod and another couple that fiddle with rocket costs, figuring that I'd give science packs a reduced stack size to encourage use of condensed science. The tech is so late game that the run will likely be mostly over before I can even unlock it. It seems to need everything but Aquillo's science. By that point, I'll have most of the tech tree unlocked and an existing system to handle the volume. It's way too late game to be really useful. I don't get the point of the mod unless you can make use of it a relatively modest way into multi-planet science production.
