Not only do they not stack. But, I think the Robotoids are much cheaper to research as well. If I recall correctly, the cost is about a third for Robotoids vs. Mineral Scanners even though the Robotoid is benefitting all three resource areas.

In general, I don't like to mess with the play balance of the game. But this part of the game was not well thought out. (Unless I just goofed on the math somewhere.)

no math goof. I don't see the reason in it either. It costs more to research one branch of the resource tree to get +30% in that resource than it costs to research computers and get +30% to all of them. Pretty screwy, imho.
