'''Research''' allows you to unlock new buildings, [[transports]], [[vehicles]], [[edicts]], and [[recipes]]. After selecting a research technology in the research screen, you can also queue up other technologies, which will be researched afterwards. The number of technologies in the queue is represented by the "+X" number next to the current research in the research bar. It is possible to remove items from the research queue by selecting them, and clicking remove from queue, however it seems that you need to remove the last added research from the queue first, before you can remove any other research from it. You can also cancel the whole research queue by cancelling the current research, which will also clear the whole queue.

= Research Points =
Each [[Research Lab]] produces a certain amount of research points every month. Each technology has a "difficulty rating", which defines how many research points you need to research in order to unlock the technology. The difficulty rating can be seen next to the technology name in the research screen, e.g. "Construction III[9]". The difficulty rating is not directly linked to the amount of research points needed to research a technology, as in for a technology with a difficulty rating of 10, you need exactly 100 research points. However, you can assume that each difficulty rating increases the research points needed by 27. Meaning that if you want to research Construction III technology, which has difficulty rating of 9, you will need to generate approximately 9*27 = 243 research points to unlock it. Although, the actual amount of research points needed for difficulty rating of 9 is 234. This means that to unlock the Construction III, using a single Research Lab II, which generates 4 research points per month, you will need to wait approximately 243 / 4 = 60 months, and use up 243 [[Lab Equipment]].
Each lab produces an amount of RP equivalent to the amount of items it consumes (or 3 for the first one), plus a % bonus for: [[Population]], [[Edicts]], and supposedly the space station? Someone else who knows can add the amounts.

Research allows you to unlock new buildings, vehicles, edicts, recipes and ship upgrades.

You may add more than one research to the research queue and they will be researched in the order you have added them. The number of technologies in your current research queue are represented by the "+X" number that is located next to the current research in the research bar. You can remove items from the research queue by selecting them, and clicking on the "Remove From Queue" button. However, you must remove the items from the queue in the order they were added as well. If you wish to cancel the entire research queue, simply cancel the current research and it will also clear the current queue.

Research Points

Each lab produces an amount of RP equivalent to the amount of items it consumes (or 3 for the first one), plus a % bonus for: Population, Edicts, and supposedly the space station? Someone else who knows can add the amounts.

Each research has a fixed numerical cost, visible by looking at it on the research tree. (Total RP*(1+bonuses))/research cost is how many months it will take to complete.

Repeatable Research

There's repeatable research available in the game, with the useful ones being available at the very end. They probably increase in cost as you research them? And seem to require 'space research' from a certain point too.
