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.

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

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:

Icon Name Location
Protolathe.png Protolathe R&D
Circuit imprinter.png Circuit Imprinter R&D
Autolathe.png Autolathe Robotics window
(optional)
Processor.png Slime Processor Xenobiology
Grinder.png Monkey Recycler 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.

Icon Name Materials Engineering Plasma Power Bluespace Biological Combat Magnets Data Source
Reviver.png Reviver implant 5 4 4 Protolathe
Diamond mining drill.png Diamond-tipped mining drill 6 4 4 Protolathe

Lazarusinjector.png Lazarus injector 4 6 Shaft Miner
Circuitboard.png Purge AI module 4 5 Circuit
Imprinter
Minebot AI upgrade.png Minebot AI upgrade 6 Shaft Miner

Notes:

  • Botanists need a Chem Dispenser.gif Chem Dispenser to grow these plants. Consider giving them one from Toxins Lab.
  • 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.

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
File:Femto manipulator.gif Femto Manipulator 40-50
File:Quadultra micro laser.gif Quad-Ultra Micro-Laser 15-25
Triphasic scanning module.gif Triphasic Scanning Module 5-10
File:Quadratic capacitor.gif 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.

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!
