A '''hi-tech research bench''' is a Production bench at which your colonists can [[research]] new technology. Once you've selected a project in the Research tab, your research-capable colonists will operate the bench when not otherwise occupied. Multiple researchers can contribute toward a project at the same time, so long as sufficient research benches are available and/or double shifts.

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).   Because research projects are such long-term projects, it is strongly advised you place [[dining chair]]s or [[armchair]]s at each bench to keep your researchers [[comfort]]able.

Unlike the [[simple research bench]], these '''cannot''' be un/reinstalled, only deconstructed. 

==Acquisition== 
It is built with {{Required Resources}} in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} after the research [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] has been completed.

==Analysis== 
Hi-tech research benches can only be produced after researching [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] and require more space and resources to construct than [[simple research bench]]es, as well as electricity to operate. However, with a 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. Most colonies will eventually need to replace their simple benches with hi-tech ones to keep up with progression.

In addition to the required 100 steel, hi-tech research benches need 150 ''metallic'' [[stuff]] - they cannot be made with [[wood]].  For most colonies, [[steel]] is more precious than [[silver]], so the latter would be the most economical in most situations, and can be acquired by mining or from most any [[trader]].

+It is built with {{Required Resources}} in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} after the research [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] has been completed.
-Once a project has been selected in the [[Research]] tab, [[colonist]]s assigned to [[Work#Research|Research work type]] will work at a hi-tech research bench to complete the project. Multiple researchers can contribute toward a project at the same time, so long as sufficient research benches are available, and benches can be freely swapped between researchers.
-The rate of research depends on the following factors:
+==Analysis==
-* The [[research speed]] stat of the researcher.
+Hi-tech research benches can only be produced after researching [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] and require more space and resources to construct than [[simple research bench]]es, as well as electricity to operate. However, with a 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. Most colonies will eventually need to replace their simple benches with hi-tech ones to keep up with progression.
-* The type of research bench and facilities used. Hi-tech research benches have ×1 multiplier to this research rate.
-** Linking a [[multi-analyzer]] gives a +10% buff to the research bench. This buff is additive with the research bench, and then multiplied by other factors.
-* A ×0.7 work multiplier for being in "Bad Temperature" - below {{Temperature|10}} or above {{Temperature|35}} - like most production facilities.
-* A ×0.9 work multiplier for being outdoors. {{Check Tag|Verify|Selecting the research bench claims 90%. Clicking on the info tab gives a "Research Speed" of 0.75x}}
-* The [[Cleanliness]] of the room. The modifier is ×0.75 for ''very dirty'' (-5 or lower), ×1 for clean (0), and ×1.09 for ''sterile'' (0.6). Being outdoors gives a ×0.75 multiplier for Cleanliness (in addition to the penalty for being outdoors).
-Some research projects require either the hi-tech research bench, or both the bench and the [[multi-analyzer]]. Multi-analyzers link to all hi-tech research benches within 4 tiles. Only linked benches can be used to [[research]] projects that require the multi-analyzer.
+In addition to the required 100 steel, hi-tech research benches need 150 ''metallic'' [[stuff]] - they cannot be made with [[wood]].  For most colonies, [[steel]] is more precious than [[silver]], so the latter would be the most economical in most situations, and can be acquired by mining or from most any [[trader]].

-== Analysis ==
+{{nav|production|wide}}
-Once they are unlocked, hi-tech research benches are 33.33% faster at researching than the [[simple research bench]]. As soon as [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] is researched and the colony has sufficient [[power]] and resources to construct them, simple benches should be replaced. This is also required to unlock projects beyond Microelectronics. Multiple research benches can be used concurrently; as soon as you have the resources and manpower to spare, you may want to have 2 researchers operating at once.
-If resources are tight but several researchers are available, simple research benches can be retained in order to research less complex technologies. Simple and hi-tech research benches may be used together, though pawns will automatically abandon any simple benches when hi-tech is required. You can also place half of the available researchers on a [[Schedule|night shift]], allowing them to effectively share hi-tech benches.
-=== Laboratories ===
-[[File:Compact_lab.png|thumb|right|Compact, 5x6 lab with 2 research benches. [[Vent]]s or open doors can be used to bring temperature in. <br/>Pawns may not like the tight space.]]
-Because research is a long term task, it is advised to please researchers:
-* Increase a researcher's [[comfort]] with [[dining chair]]s or [[armchair]]s, and install [[sculpture]]s or other [[beauty|beautiful]] items to increase mood.
-* Install [[floor]]s and keep the room clean, which also increases research speed.
-** [[Steel tile]] and [[sterile tile]] provide a small boost to Cleanliness, but are quite costly.
-Research rooms can be kept small and out of major thoroughfares, to minimize the amount of cleaning time and sterile tile used. For example, the lab on the right uses 30 [[sterile tile]], which costs {{Icon Small|steel}} 90 [[steel]] and {{Icon Small|silver}} 360 [[silver]] (plus the costs of the benches themselves, etc.). Alternatively, you can combine the research room with a hospital, as both take full advantage of Cleanliness.
-If investing any significant amount of resources into a laboratory, it is recommended to build it such that it will fit the [[multi-analyzer]] that will eventually be required.
