SASH inflation is real

 

I don't want to hear about Covid or supply chain issues.  Inflation has come to FoE and now techs in SASH cost 5 times what Titan techs cost (roughly).  

The first Titan tech was 700 FP to make the comparison easy.

I'd also recommend collecting special goods.  That means working the excavation sites but not making SAT goods in your moon colony.  This is good strategy for all space ages so you don't have to have synthesizers in your city when you age up.
