There's a point where you can't keep up max exploring and the bonus becomes completely pointless. I remember last round when my sector went into growth and I couldn't even explore 3%.
As for right now and this round it's going to start getting tough to max explore, build, and training at the same time after hitting 1k land mark. Doing so safely with the high amounts of DWs roaming is even more so going to be hard. I suggest slowing the exploring down once you see a sector with a decent DW hit mobilization.
hmm if my theory is correct everyone on top should be struggling just to keep up their military research up. I don't think you'll have time to research anything else until people start hitting the 2.5k land mark and the land growth starts slowing down a bit. Of course if you're not in the top 20 for land you prob could get some minor research done.
I remember this bonus... research was absurdly hard. If this was Stunners like I recall, I made a DW and didnt researcha damn thing. Money, Mili & Fusion was all, good thing too cause we all died early anyways
