Ah, also, Nathan:
Your Blackbird ring is beautiful.
Thank you, it's modern art
The production chart can be found under the "Help" menu, the resource chart.
It indicates that most resource production begins in the 20-50 society level range.
Cheers, I didn't really understand that chart. According to it, I should have gained anti-matter for a bit before it flat lining (but I haven't gained any at all). Also, steel production looks like it should have started immediately and my hydrocarbon production should be much higher than it is now. Maybe it's based off old figures?
