In the base game, Space Science Packs are a critical item that unlocks new planets and techs. However, with Muluna and Foliax, players have to produce it on Mulana until at least launching a rocket from Foliax, which I personally found frustratingly restrictive.

So this mod adds a tech for a recipe to make space science packs in space again... just at half of vanilla speed. This reduces the critical path to Fulgora/Vulcanus/Gleba down to:
1. Hack together a shuttle to Muluna
2. Drop to the moon
3. Send the ship back to Nauvis to ferry rocket silo parts + rocket parts
4. Make just enough on Muluna to throw together 1k space science packs
5. Launch the science packs + yourself back to Nauvis
6. With the 1k packs (and >= 5% lab productivity), research space asteroid collectors+crushers+space-science-noluna (the recipe this mod adds).

This option makes Muluna a fun little detour rather than the massive, mandatory roadblock like Mulana+Foliax can feel currently. At least that's what I think.
I made this mod for me. If you like it... good for you!
