High-Explosive Shell Set

High-Explosive Shell Set is an advanced ammunition technology that upgrades Shell Set production and power. It is a mid-game technology that improves shells significantly, making it a practical choice for ground defense once basic Shell Set firepower starts to feel insufficient. A Shell Set contains 12 shells.

Its main limitation is the production chain for Explosive Unit, which is relatively complex for the stage at which it becomes available. Even so, the technology is a solid upgrade path for combat logistics and defense, and it is worth setting up production when stronger shells are needed for Implosion Cannon or Icarus ammunition slots.

• Proliferating ammo provides extra shots per box, based on the extra products bonus of the proliferation level.
• The technology is a straightforward step up from Shell Set rather than a radical change in use, so it is most valuable when you already have shell-based defenses and want better throughput or damage.
• Because the ammo comes in boxes of 12 shells, any productivity or proliferation benefits translate directly into more shots available per crafted box.
