New Satellites:
Advanced Probe-When their data is processed each Advanced probe will produce 10,000 space science.
Observation Satellite-A combination of communication, observation and GPS satellite. Produces Planetary data
Space Lab-Components and supplies for orbital laboratories, produces Station Science.
Orbital Solar collector-Launched into orbit these satellites will produce 150MW to a ground station they spawn upon launching, requires a 150MW worth of solar panels for each satellite.
Space Telescope-With a powerful Optic Suite these satellites will be linked to a ground station and can either preform astronomical surveys slowly providing space science or observe your planet slowly in so doing producing planetary data.
Space Shuttle-These come in multiple varieties including a space station servicing version, a mining shuttle, a telescope shuttle and a space fabricator shuttle. They can be reused and so are cheaper in the long run but the initial cost is very high.
New ground facilities:
Advanced Assembler-An expensive machine capable of producing satellite components and spacecraft (as well as normal stuff at slightly higher speed)
Ground Telescope-slowly produces space science
Space Telescope Uplink station: Each connects to and controls a space telescope in orbit.
Orbital Power Receiver-Each station collects 150 MW worth of power from their satellites in orbit.
Ground Fabricator Station-This facility transmits power to its partner in orbit which returns dropships loaded with resources. (extremely expensive to produce and operate)
New Infinite Techs:
Using station science and planetary data you will be able to improve various aspects of your base including bots, laboratory productivity, mining productivity, artillery range, stack inserter bonus. There are also a couple ridiculously expensive techs that will give you a big buff in addition to the scaling infinite techs. Part of the reason for including all this was that the expanded infinite tech mod by wormmus is depreciated, and I wanted to give a good reason to launch a lot of rockets.
Shuttle Mechanics:
-When space shuttles are launched they return a landed shuttle of the same type which needs to be refurbished. To do so will require water filled barrels to clean it, stone to fix the heatshield and rocket fuel to fill up the tanks again. Depending on the type of shuttle you will also need new payload, the station shuttle for example will need new components to deliver. Cost to refurbish will also vary depending on type of shuttle.
-Upon finishing refurbishment the shuttle's mission results will be unloaded along with empty barrels and a ready to launch version of your shuttle will be available to go again.
-Shuttles can also be repurposed should you no longer want one preforming a specific mission.
-Refurbishment and repurposing do take a fair bit of time but this can be sped up with modules.
