is there any use of upgrading laser technology after u get all the things u need? Im guessing it helps with laser turrets in defense but how much is it actually adding, if any?

also for developed fields on a planet, and im just double checking, building ANYTHING takes up a certain amount of developed percentage right? not only minerals. Can someone explain this too me more?

I haven't been playing long, so I'm by no means an expert, but I found this link in a post called "Common Newbie Mistakes" that details the level of research you should do, hope it helps:

Let me help.

There is absolutely no point in upgrading laser technology past level 12, as it is the highest level you need.

For fields, every building you build takes up fields, not just mines. Defenses, on the other hand, do not take up fields. The only things that take up fields are whatever you find under the buildings tab of the menu.

To specify what pup said: every building, no matter what it is, takes up exactly 1 field.

Also, moved.

This thread needs updating, Energy tech is now considered "always beneficial".

Energy tech upgrades the output of energy produced by the Fusion Plant, right? It doesn't just stop giving bonuses at a set level.
