>>88562885Before the 2.0/space age there were 7 Science colors called "packs". Red, Green, Grey/Black, Blue, Purple, Yellow and White which stood for Automation, Logistic, Military, Chemical, Production, Utility and Space respectively. Each need different materials from simple gears and copper plates to needing a complex end game Rocket loaded with a satellite needed to unlock crafting recipes and upgrades.You didn't need grey or white science to "win" the game but to make a mega base (which is measured in Science per minute, called "SPM") you would need all 7 to be put into labs. Labs can take all colors of Science (outside of mods) can "burn" science to unlock research
Don't ask me about 2.0/DLC because I've not played it
