Launch Pad
A launch-stage structure for sending a prepared payload out of the base.
It marks a real project boundary: materials for the pad do not represent the rocket, fuel or data payload needed to use it.
When it fits: Put it in the project once the launch objective is selected and its supporting production is mapped.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 200 Concrete, 100 Steel Frame, 60 Execution Unit, 20 Fluid Storage at Fabricator; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. The pad consumes its own construction stock, while fuel and payload remain additional targets that can share scarce intermediates.
