Mumbles, Resource procurement has been modded. For example, Resource Extractors (mineral miners, etc) now have 10 research levels. Level 1 starts at ... 375/turn IIRC. The bonus facilities (mineral scanner, Robo factory, etc) have been modded somewhat as well (mainly in price and the bonus %)

Shipyards have been modded similarly. Your starting shipyard is ... er... slow, the SY component even slower. So you can't harvest as quickly, nor can you build as quickly.

I don't recall if the Research/Intel mods made it into v0.81, but if so, their point generation and costs have been modded as well.
