Streamlined Production (Civ4)/Final Frontier/Civilopedia

As the space age grew from its infancy, infrastructure improvements led to the refinement of industrial Research and Development practices. The first to benefit from the increased research was the Scout Ship, which received a much needed update in the form of increased range and durability, incorporating the technologies developed since its initial manufacturing run. Developments in infrastructure likewise led to the support of massive planet-wide manufacturing facilities, Factories, which increased production wherever they were constructed.
