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.
| ResearchID | SR Need[1] | Max Lvl | Effect | Effect at Max level[2] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicles Pollution[3] | 15 | 20 | -4% pollution from vehicles | -80% |
| Ships Pollution[3] | 15 | 20 | -4% pollution from ships | -80% |
| Trains Pollution[3] | 15 | 20 | -4% pollution from trains | -80% |
| Crop Yield | 20 | 250 | +1% to crop yield, +0.25% crop water consumption[4] | +250%, +62.5% |
| Tree Growth Speed | 5 | 50 | +1% to tree growth speed | +50% |
| Rainwater Yield | 10 | 40 | +5% to rainwater yield[5] | +200% |
| Settlement Water Use | 10 | 40 | -2% settlement water consumption[6] | -80% |
| Unity Capacity | 5 | 60 | +5% to unity capacity | +300% |
| Housing Capacity | 4 | 40 | +5% to housing capacity | +200% |
| Focus Points | 5 | 25 | +4% focus generated by offices | +100% |
| Vehicle Limit | 20 | 60 | +5 to vehicle limit | +300 |
| Vehicles Fuel Use | 5 | 35 | -1% to vehicle fuel consumption | -35% |
| Ships Fuel Use | 5 | 35 | -1% to ships fuel consumption | -35% |
| Trains Fuel Use | 5 | 35 | -1% to trains fuel consumption | -35% |
| Rockets Capacity | 1 | 20 | +5% to rocket payload capacity[7] | +100% |
| Maintenance Output | 4 | 50 | +1% to maintenance production bonus[8] | +50% |
| World Mine Output | 5 | 50 | +2% to world mine and oil rig efficiency[9] | +100% |
| Solar Power | 10 | 200 | +2% to solar power production | +400% |
[3] [1] [2] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 You need space research, done with the space station, from this point on
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Note that the info in max effect is based on math, not ingame, so it could be wrong
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 These 3 are available much earlier than the others. And are totally useless if you switch to Hydrogen
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 It's unclear how this would affect green manure or empty fields
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 Presumably this affects rainwater harvesters, dunno if it affects groundwater refilling
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 Decreases waste water produced in proportion as well
- ↑ 7.0 7.1 Applies to crew as well as cargo
- ↑ 8.0 8.1 Only applies to maintenance output, does not increase inputs, or
Recyclables output
- ↑ 9.0 9.1 Probably only increases outputs, but other factory games like to use efficiency to mean 'extra free stuff', so who knows?
