Silicon Law Changing - R&D Lockboxes
Created by: clusterfack
Currently in the game you can print out AI/Cyborg upload boards, as well as all the lawset boards with a very small amount of mining materials as well as the research to make them. Printing out items from the protolathe, as you know, is already made open to anyone without access to R&D, thus security items for example come in lockboxes which must be opened.
This issue is that the AI/Cyborg upload boards, as well as law change boards should come in lockboxes requiring AI upload access to open. Lockboxes can already be opened by determined individuals so this seems like an appropriate balance change. It lessens the inherent danger from the science department or lone individuals from printing extremely dangerous components effortlessly after the research completed + some materials mined period of the game.
