I was playing through space age and noticed how so many of the early progression techs have an absurd number of the sciences needed to research them. I was just going to roll with it.

but then i looked ahead to the rocket silo research, which requires pack 36: Space Resources to make, needing both Ice and carbon to craft.

The rocket silo isn't the only research that is needed to progress with this problem, Advanced Material Processing, Low Density Structures, and Concrete all need Pack 36.

Other than that, it all looks okay from there.
