Another thing is that with no budget the rewriter is basically useless. Geneticists can still build up resources at a slow but workable rate even without relying on the budget, and can bypass that entirely if they can get someone to stand still in the gene scanner long enough. In robotics, after you wait the eternity it takes to research stuff without a budget and unlock one or two things, you're sunk because you can't make a module anyway.
