Right. If you've got an RF III on a colony, there's no reason to still have MS III/EF III/RC III, since they wouldn't give you any additional benefits... and once an SRF III is built, you can scrap your SMS/SEF/SRC's as well. So I normally research Computers up to 9, but don't bother with minerals/organics/radioactives beyond 3... and maybe not even that if I've gone the Monolith Facility route (a Monolith III plus a good Resource Converter produces significantly more resources per facility slot than a mineral facility, except on worlds with extremely skewed min/org/rad values). The Computers branch is good juju anyway, with Master Computers and all.
