Late-game optimization. At maximum level, this can completely eliminate the need to build residential zones in new sectors. 🔋 Energy & Logistics Branch

Always place heat-generating modules (like Crew Quarters) directly next to laboratories. If a laboratory does not receive its required heat rating, its research efficiency drops to zero. Plan your layout in straight lines or compact grids to ensure perfect heat transfer. 3. Training and Managing Astronauts

Hidden in the station UI is the button. For a massive, one-time cost of OP (usually 200-500 OP), you can double the effect of a single module for 30 minutes.

Every module generates heat. Workshops function best between 20°C and 39°C .

Always ensure your capacity is upgraded. If your supply line dips, your station's technology level will drop, potentially deactivating your most expensive research projects. Summary Checklist for a Top-Tier Station

💡 The community has created several reference images and layouts. One popular approach uses a central “spine” of connectors with workshops branching off, keeping heat‑producing modules far from sensitive workshops.
