Basic Research

Basic research can be performed at round start. All items required can be found or made in R&D without any additional materials or items.
To start, take the Welder out of one of the Toolbox and insert the Metal and Glass found in R&D into the Protolathe and Circuit Imprinter.

You will need to acquire and deconstruct these items in the following order:

  1. Welding Tool - R&D Welderoff.png (Plasma: 1)
  2. Toolbox - R&D Blue Toolbox.png (Combat: 1, Engineering: 1)
  3. Basic Capacitor - Proto Capacitor.png (Power: 1)
  4. Micro Manipulator - Proto Micro Manipulator.png (Materials: 1, Data: 1)
  5. Basic Micro-Laser - Proto Micro-laser.png (Magnets: 1)
  6. Tracking Beacon - Proto Tracking beacon.gif (Bluespace: 1)
  7. High-Capacity Power Cell - Proto Highcapacitypowercell.png (Power: 2)
  8. Reagent Scanner - Proto Reagent scanner.png (Biotech: 1, Magnets: 2, Plasma: 2)
  9. Health Scanner HUD - Proto Health hud.png (Biotech: 2, Magnets: 3)
  10. Security HUD - Proto Sec hud.png (Combat: 2)
  11. Global Positioning System (GPS) - Proto GPS.gif (Bluespace: 2, Materials: 2)
  12. Machine Design (Gibber Board) - Circuit Circuitboard.png (Data: 2, Engineering: 2)
  13. Advanced Capacitor - Proto Advanced capacitor.png (Power: 3)
  14. Advanced Matter Bin - Proto Advanced matter bin.png (Materials: 3)
  15. Advanced Reagent Scanner - Proto Advanced reagent scanner.gif (Biotech: 3, Magnets: 4, Plasma: 3)
  16. Large Grenade - Proto Large grenade casing.png (Combat: 3, Engineering: 3)
  17. Cybernetic Heart - Proto Cybernetic heart.gif (Biotech: 5)
  18. SUPERPACMAN-type Generator - Circuit Circuitboard.png (Engineering: 4, Power: 4, Data: 3)
  19. Teleporter Console - Circuit Circuitboard.png (Bluespace: 3)
  20. "Gygax" Weapons & Targeting Control Module - Circuit Mech circuit.png (Combat: 4, Data: 4)
  21. Quantum Pad Board - Circuit Circuitboard.png (Bluespace: 4)
  22. M.R.S.P.A.C.M.A.N.-type Generator - Circuit Circuitboard.png (Plasma: 4)
  23. Teleportation Hub - Circuit Circuitboard.png (Materials: 4)

Once you're done: R&D Console > Settings > Sync Database with Network

Upgrading: Round 1

Print these items at the Protolathe for Upgrading:

  • 1 Rapid Part Exchange Device (RPED)
  • 10 Pico Manipulators
  • 10 Super Matter Bins
  • 2 High-Power Micro-Lasers

Now fill up the RPED with the items you just printed.

Priority Upgrades:

  1. R&D AutolatheProtolatheCircuit imprinter.pngDestructive Analyzer
  2. Cargo Ore Redemption Machine
  3. Xenobiology Monkey RecyclerSlime ProcessorAll-In-One GrinderSlime Extract Storage   Freezer/Heater

You should also deliver Technology disks to cargo, but first, deconstruct a second Cybernetic heart and the wired network card to give cargo more points to spend.
If you have the opportunity, upgrade all critical equipment, particularly in Medbay.

Advanced Research

For Advanced Research the items don't need to be deconstructed in any particular order, but it is more preferable to first deconstruct items with Research Level 5 followed by those with Research Level 6, so waiting may be worth the time.
Keep in mind that certain departments may be more inclient to help R&D out, if you help them first, e.g. through upgrades or bribing providing them with technology disks.

Upgrading: Round 2

Print these items at the Protolathe for upgrading:

  • 1 Rapid Bluespace Part Exchange Device (Bluespace RPED)
  • 30 - 50 Femto Manipulators
  • 30 - 50 Bluespace Matter Bins
  • 10 - 20 Triphasic Scanning Modules
  • 20 - 30 Quad Ultra Micro Laser
  • 20 - 40 Quadratic Capacitors (If not available use Super Capacitors)
  • 20 - 30 Bluespace Power Cells (If not available use Hyper Capacity Power Cells)

For the latter two, you will need assistance from Botany or Xenobiology to make them.
