The Research Lab is where you build new technologies. Generally technologies can do one of the following things:

Some technologies have certain prerequisites, such as a certain level Research Lab or a certain level of another technology. They will not appear in your Research Lab until you've reached the requisite minimums.

Details about the Research Lab

  • ONLY 1 research lab can be used at a time.
  • To research some technologies, a certain research lab level in the planet must be reached.
  • Research labs can use only the resource from the planet it is built on.
  • To use resources from another planetfor research, it must be transported from other planets to the planet with the research lab.
  • Building laboratories in other planets will NOT give you increased researching speed.
  • To increase research speed, you need lab droids (2% per worker), or worker friends (4% per friend), or a research commander (25%).
  • The number of workers that can be used depends on the research lab level {1 + rounddown(level/3)}.

Researching

Your empire can only research one technology at a time. The time it takes to research a new technology is determined by the following formula:

Time(hours) =
Ore Cost + Crystal Cost
1000 * (1+Research Lab Level)
