Talk:Research Lab

How many workers?

The page reads "You may add one worker to a Lab, plus one extra worker for every 3 levels. (So a level 3, 4 or 5 Lab can have 2 workers, a level 6 may have 3, etc.) " Logic would dictate that this would mean that level 2, 3 or 4 Labs would get two workers, 5, 6 or 7 three workers, etc. __'meco' Halvor 15:50, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

• Research is globally available - it can be researched anywhere and it will apply to all of your ships & colonies inclusively. 697585779 04:13, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Research Lab Level 11 and higher

is there an effect with level 11 and more? i have many 4x 10 research-labs, also 4 x Advanced Research Communication Network and soon all on 10. i cant make more labs - no slots on the other planets :> ty!

• If you have no slots left, consider tearing down buildings. That ought to free up fields. But only if you really insist on getting those extra levels. And with Lab 11+, you don't unlock anything new I don't think, but it will reduce your research time. Jesus Saves 03:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Thanks for answer, i dont need new tech, just reducing the time. tearing down is all done. i will try

Excel Formula

Excel Formula: (C13+D13)*(1-B24)/(1000*(1+B20))

       where: C13 = Ore Cost
              D13 = Crystal Cost
              B24 = Research Bonus %
              B20 = Research Lab Level
