Supply Chain Optimisation vs Supply Chain Optimization
Comparing the Supply Chain Optimisation (Tier 2) and Supply Chain Optimization (Tier 2), both logistics technologies in Starforge MMO. Use this to decide which to queue first when your research lab can only run one project at a time.
Research Comparison
| Attribute | Supply Chain Optimisation | Supply Chain Optimization |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | T2 | T2 |
| Research time | 10 | 8▼ |
| metal cost | 10,000 | 10,000 |
| crystal cost | 5,000 | 5,000 |
| credits cost | 20,000 | 15,000▼ |
| Effect | +10% -building upkeep | +10% -build time |
▼ marks the lower resource / time cost. Cheaper isn't always better — weigh it against the effect each tech unlocks.
Supply Chain Optimisation
Reduces upkeep costs for all buildings by 10%.
Requires: logistics 1
Supply Chain Optimization
Streamlined procurement pipelines cut all ship and building construction times by 10%.
Unlocks buildings: logistics hub
Requires: logistics 1
Which Should You Research First?
Both sit at the same tier. The Supply Chain Optimization is the cheaper project, so it's the safer early pick if your economy is tight; otherwise prioritise whichever effect supports your current strategy.
