I'm leapfrogging ahead of the AI in tech despite a heavy manufacturing emphasis, and I think that's a big part of the reason. I suspect it would be worse if I hadn't traded Xeno Labs to several of them a while back.

You hit the prices of the high-end research buildings fairly well, and the bank, but the top construction building still has its way out of line unmodded cost. While I'm on the subject of price progressions, though, I think even fo
