− | A '''simple research bench''' is a | + | A '''simple research bench''' is a Production bench at which your [[colonist]]s (not [[prisoner]]s) 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. Simple research benches are incapable of researching certain advanced technologies. Getting further along on the research tree requires using a [[hi-tech research bench]]. It produces research at only 75% the rate of the high-tech research bench. |
− | + | 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''. You can reinstall them at convenience. 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. | |

+ | The simple research bench should be one of the first things to be set up in a new base, after building beds, a cookhouse, storage, and, possibly, a freezer. | ||
− | + | As soon as you have the manpower to spare, putting two or more researchers to work is perfectly valid, and speeds up research immensely. | |

− | + | * For future reference, know that any and all ''advanced'' research can ''only'' be done at ''[[hi-tech research bench]]es''. 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 benches and are researching a <u>non</u>-advanced technology, either or both types of bench can be used, but the moment you switch to researching an ''advanced'' technology all simple benches will be abandoned, since they can contribute nothing to that effort. | |

− | + | So, as soon as possible, simple research benches should be replaced with a [[hi-tech research bench]] as soon as you finish the [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]] research. While it takes up more space (2x5), requires more resources and needs power (250 W), it is also 33.33% faster and allows the player to continue on to [[Research#Fabrication|Fabrication]] research, as [[component]]s can often a major bottleneck as more progress relies on them and ore veins of them are consumed. But more importantly it's simply not possible to for a researcher to do their job without one if you wish to pursue any advanced technologies beyond Micro-electronics. | |

− | + | If resources are tight but several researchers are available, old simple research benches can be retained for the less effective researchers when researching projects that don't require the hi-tech bench*. These too should eventually be replaced by the faster hi-tech benches, however. | |
