New resource facility idea.

[Suicide Junkie]

I don't know if this is still an issue, but people have said that they find no point in researching the resource extraction techs, and just go straight to monolith 3's.

How about this:
by adding only 12 more facilities, we can make things more interesting.

SM 1:
Monolith I 500/500/500

SM 2:
Monolith IIm 600/500/500
Monolith IIo 500/600/500
Monolith IIr 500/500/600
Monolith IImo 600/600/500
Monolith IImr 600/500/600
Monolith IIor 500/600/600
Monolith II 600/600/600

SM 3:
Monolith IIIm 700/600/600
Monolith IIIo 600/700/600
Monolith IIIr 600/600/700
Monolith IIImo 700/700/600
Monolith IIImr 700/600/700
Monolith IIIor 600/700/700
Monolith III 700/700/700

For a Monolith II, you need all three resource extraction techs at level 2.
For a Monolith IIr you need only radioactives extraction level 2.
Monolith IIIs require at least level 2 in all three, plus the specified extraction tech at level 3.

Thus, you can specialize your monoliths, and with proper ordering in the text file (the same as in this post), upgrading will work perfectly.

What do you gamers think?
