More tempo per decision.
Automates construction work and reduces building upgrade times.
Robotics multiplies every future construction order. The fuller your build plan gets, the more each level matters.
Speeds every future building order and opens the path to Nanite Factory.
Building time depends on the planet’s Robotics Factory and Nanite Factory levels and on the universe speed, so it is not a fixed number.
Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×2, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.

The four races share the same building rules but not the same hardware — each one names and renders it differently, and applies its own combat multipliers from its race profile.
