Time Saver: Do this together with The Boundaries of Knowledge
Wonders are mega structures that are usually unlocked by reaching the end of each of the 5 main research tech-trees. There is a total of 7 wonders, and you’ll need to construct each one anyway for their respective trophies, so you might as well build 5 of them in a single playthrough. Each Wonder requires a lot of resources, typically Concrete, Metals, Machine Parts, Electronics and Polymers but bestow many end game benefits and when combined with all the prior technologies can potentially make your Colony self-sufficient to the point that no more management is necessary if well placed.
