This is a list for getting most levels in R&D.

Basic Research

At shift start, you can follow this list to reach level 5 in most research areas.

Upgrading the Station: Round 1

As a Scientist, it is your duty to upgrade the station when there are better parts available in the Protolathe (under the Stock Parts menu).

For your first upgrade run, print the following items:

Icon Name Amount
Rped.gif Rapid Part Exchange Device (RPED) 1
Super matter bin.png Super Matter Bin 10
Pico manipulator.png Pico Manipulator 10
High micro laser.png High-Power Micro-Laser 1

To upgrade a machine, use a Screwdriver tool.png screwdriver on it, click it with the Rped.gif RPED, then close the machine with the Screwdriver tool.png screwdriver again.

It is recommended to upgrade these machines as soon as you can:

Autolathe.png Autolathe Robotics window
(optional)
Processor.png Slime Processor Xenobiology

Ore redemption machine.gif Ore Redemption Machine Cargo Office

Before You Go

Remember to sync with the server to allow Roboticists to print new stuff.

It is also recommended to print 10 Comp design or tech disk.png Technology Disks, save your tech levels on them, and deliver these to Cargo. They get tons of points for this!

Advanced Research

The second half of research requires co-ordination from multiple departments. While you can get the new materials from the Ore redemption machine.gif Ore Redemption Machine, some items are only obtainable by other jobs.

Communication is key. If you need something from other jobs, ask them.

Notes:

  • Botanists need a Chem Dispenser.gif Chem Dispenser to grow these plants. Consider giving them one from Science Chemistry.
  • Machine prototypes have to be ordered from Cargo, using the Supply ordering console.png Supply Ordering Console.
  • Roboticists need combat technology 6 to produce Mecha laser.png P-X Tesla Cannons.
  • Remember to sometimes sync with the server after reaching new levels!

Upgrading the Station: Round 2

Once you have some (or most) of these new research levels, it is time to upgrade the station again!

Print the following items. If you lack any of these, try printing its older version (for example, instead of Bluespace matter bins, print Super matter bins):

Icon Name Amount
Bluespace rped.gif Bluespace RPED 1
Bluespace matter bin.gif Bluespace Matter Bin 40-55
Femto Manipulator.png Femto Manipulator 40-50
Quad Ultra Micro Laser.png Quad-Ultra Micro-Laser 15-25
Triphasic scanning module.gif Triphasic Scanning Module 5-10
Quadratic Capacitor.png Quadratic Capacitor 20-30
Bluespacepowercell.png Bluespace power cell 10-15

To upgrade machines, simply use the Bluespace rped.gif Bluespace RPED on them at a range.

This time, upgrade everything you see - cyborg rechargers, the cloner, botany machines, whatever you find! Almost every machine benefits from having better parts.

Note: Computers/consoles cannot be upgraded as they have no stock parts.

Remember The Disks?

Since you have increased the station's technology levels, do not forget to bring new Comp design or tech disk.png Technology Disks to Cargo!

Special Research

There are three more research categories: toxins, illegal, and alien technologies.

Toxins can be increased via researching bombs.

For the sake of exploration, illegal- and alien-increasing items will not be listed here, however, here are some pointers on how and where to get them:
