− | + | Building research benches outdoors imposes a x0.75 penalty to research speed. Indoors, the [[cleanliness]] of the room the bench is in comes into play, granting modifiers ranging from x0.75 for ''very dirty'' rooms to x1.09 for ''sterile'', which requires a room covered in [[sterile tile]]s. | |

− | + | Hi-tech research benches have a Research Speed Factor of 100%, compared to the [[simple research bench]]es' 75%, meaning that projects are completed 33% faster on the hi-tech bench. Furthermore, some research projects require a hi-tech research bench in order to be researched at all. They are also the only bench that can be linked to the [[Multi-analyzer]], increasing the research speed by 10% and allowing access to research project that require the analyser. | |

− | + | Hi-tech research benches can only be produced after researching [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] and require power (250 W) and more space (2x5) and resources to construct than [[simple research bench]]es. | |
− | + | * Note that '''any and all ''advanced'' research can ''only'' be done at hi-tech research benches!''' Here, the term "advanced" means any technology with "hi-tech research bench" as a listed requisite, which is essentially anything branching further from that in the research tree. If you have [[simple research bench]]es and are researching a <u>non</u>-advanced technology, those can be used, but the moment you switch to researching an advanced technology those will be abandoned, since they can contribute nothing to that effort. | |
− | + | Beyond that limitation, with a base research rate of 100% instead of the simple benches' 75%, they produce results significantly faster, and are capable of working on advanced projects simple benches can't touch. They can also benefit from the addition of a [[multi-analyzer]], producing even faster results, so upgrading as soon as possible is obviously preferred. | |

− | + | That said, if there are more [[Intellectual|researchers]] than there are hi-tech benches, retaining the simple benches for lower tech projects allows more researchers to work at the same time. In such a case, the researchers with the highest [[Research Speed]] should be placed on the hi-tech benches (by [[drafting]] the lesser researchers, or giving them a different, temporary priority job). | |

− | + | Because research projects are long-term projects, it is strongly advised that you place high-quality [[dining chair]]s or (even better) [[armchair]]s at each bench to keep your researchers [[comfort]]able. | |
