In the last retail version 1.31 you can buy products incrementally. This allows people to buy things at the floor rate of 2bc per hammer.

This can be used to quickly raise hammers for a major building, such as Robo Miner Plant, by doubling the hammer stockpile each turn.

If you have a lot of money, you can also use the trick to buy huge stockpiles of hammers. Pic related, for example, has about 1200 hammers stockpiled already, and is incrementally buying the Star Fortress each turn to instead build Artificial Planets
