RnD Breakdown List

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

Starting Out

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

To increase Toxins Research, a Scientist has to do Toxins, then upload it via a Technology Disk.

Upgrading the Station

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:

Icon Name Location

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.
