i realy enyor that 4/7 sience packs have names maybe lets give the rest of them names too

red = Automatisation science pack
green = Energy science pack
blue = Electric Science Pack

maybe like that

The idea though is that packs 1, 2 and 3 are universal for any research area, where others like productivity and military are area specific. Space science tells you where it comes from.

High tech is pretty much the only one that doesn't "need" to be named, and could instead be called Science pack 4... the problem with naming it 4 is that it fits on the scale more like a 5, but why would you have a 5 without a 4? So high tech fits it better.

Your name suggestions aren't bad, but giving the early science packs names like that, when used alongside the speciality science packs like production and military would suggest that you have the one packs specifically for automation research, and another specifically for researching things for the electricity network, etc. which isn't the case for these early packs.

then maybe start with
red = universal science pack
green = Automatisation science pack
and blue energy science pack

My suggestion in another thread was Mechanical, Logistics and Chemical.

But frankly, I don't much care what names are chosen for as long as those bland 1/2/3's are no more.

or you could go with the names people have used for years.
Red science
Green science
Blue science.

Those are incorrect terms though.

Correct ones would be health potion, stamina potion and mana potion.
