    Fortunately, with Space Age, Nauvis pollution becomes less of a problem as you have more and more of your manufacturing being done on other planets.

    You complain about artillery being locked behind space. I complain about cliff explosives being locked behind space. We are not the same.

    Apart from the pure gameplay balance aspect, the artillery cannons are made from tungsten alloys to make them wear resistant. Earth has naturally occuring tungsten, Nauvis doesn’t. :)

    this makes defending the base quite labor-intensive, but you don’t get attacked often before the space age.
