Research

Doing research unlocks new types of buildings for the colony. Duplicants can perform research at the Research Station.

Research Tasks

A selected research task is completed once enough research points have been generated at the colonies research stations. Duplicants with high 'Science' attribute scores will generate research points faster than Duplicants with lower scores.

Research Types

Advanced research tasks require special research stations to generate the proper kind of research points. These research stations often consume more advanced resources.Using higher level research stations also requires Duplicants to have learned higher level research skills.Novice Research is performed at the Research Station Advanced Research is performed at the Super Computer Interstellar Research is performed at the Virtual Planetarium Applied Sciences Research is performed at the Materials Study Terminal Data Analysis Research is performed at the Orbital Data Collection Lab
