Research and Development Center


Research and Development Center[]

An improvement of the Lab. It provides science points (SP) necessary to complete research and produce advanced structures, ships, and various game flow improvements.

In-game Description[]

The Research and Development Center hosts a large number of scientists and allows them to do research effectively. Upon reaching level 20, the lab can be upgraded to the Research and Development Center.

Requirements[]

In order to build a Research and Development Center, Research and Development Center research has to be finished.

No other Buildings are needed to construct a Research and Development Center.

It is also possible to convert a Lab 20. This will turn it into a Research and Development Center 20. It's probably not the wisest path to take as the cost to upgrade is 1311265 metal, 1573625 polymers and 1311265 radium. Remember the lv 20 storehouse base capacity is 262000 without bonuses, requiring at least 6 at max level costing 215130/221415/94890 each so a total cost of 1290780/1328490/569340, quite close to the update itself to do so. Bonuses may reduce the requirement to 3 storehouses (with the help of a lv15 resource dock), which is quite an investment nonetheless.

Bonuses[]

The following Technologies affect the properties in above table:

Note[]

The Research and Development Center, like the Lab, only produces SP when a technology is selected to be researched. If the research queue is empty, all Labs and R&D Centers idle and the SP they could have produced is lost.
