Summary0022936: Limit on farming science from Astro Trains
DescriptionCurrently, you can theoretically farm infinite science from Astro Trains. This isn't a huge balance issue, but if you're concerned, you could fix it by putting a hard cap (based on the intensity of the Astro Trains faction) on the total amount of science available from them.

If someone wants to play a very slow game where they endlessly farm science from astro trains, I don't see why that should be taken away from them. It's analagous to playing turtle-style with risk analyzers.

One of the goals of a PvE game like this is to facilitate a lot of playing styles.

If it turns out that science-farming astro trains is a really OP strategy and becomes the meta, it will be nerfed or altered. In the meantime, no changes.

One way to go about this is by tracking how many trains the player had killed over the course of the game, and letting the AI send strong trains proportionally

That's pretty easy if puffin wants to define more trains
