This upgrade gives the zone +50 production.
Applies to:
[ Zones, Zone Upgrades ]
Industrial processes can be optimized by taking advantage of the available low-gravity environment. A dedicated cluster of orbital processing plants can increase throughput and quality.
The Orbital Processing Cluster upgrade can only be applied once one a zone, and gives the zone +50 production. Zones upgraded with this upgrade consume an additional 5
.
This upgrade that can be only applied to First Tier Zones and Second Tier Zones in an industry for which the associated processing platforms are construced on the planet's Space Elevator. The following industries and processing platforms are available:
| Industry | Zones | Required platforms |

| Crystals | | Crystals Processing Platforms |
| Gasses | | Gasses Processing Platforms |
| Metals | | Metals Processing Platforms |
| Organics | | Organics Processing Platforms |
| Rare Elements | | Rare Elements Processing Platforms |
| Information | | Information Processing Platforms |
The upgrade costs 750
