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.
==Acquisition== 
The simple research bench is built with {{Required Resources}} in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}}.
==Analysis== 
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.

-Once a project has been selected in the [[Research]] tab, [[colonist]]s assigned to [[Work#Research|Research work type]] will work at a simple 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. Simple research benches are incapable of researching projects beyond [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]].
-The rate of research can be inspected after selection, depends on the following factors:
+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.

-* The [[research speed]] stat of the researcher.
-* The type of research bench and facilities used. Simple research benches have ×0.75 multiplier to this research rate.
-* 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 Cleanliness multiplier (in addition to the penalty for being outdoors).
-Unlike the hi-tech research bench, simple benches can be uninstalled. Simple research benches cannot be linked to a [[multi-analyzer]].
+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.

-The simple research bench should be one of the first things to be set up in a new base, after building rooms, beds, storage, and, possibly, a freezer. Multiple research benches can be used concurrently; as soon as you have the manpower to spare, you may want to have 2 researchers operating at once. If resources are limited, placing half of the available researchers on a [[Schedule|night shift]] allows them to share benches.
-Once they are unlocked, hi-tech research benches are 33.33% faster at researching. As soon as [[Research#{{Q|Hi-tech research bench|Required Research}}|{{Q|Hi-tech research bench|Required Research}}]] is researched and the colony has sufficient [[power]] and resources to construct them, simple benches should be replaced with hi-tech benches, which also unlocks all projects beyond Microelectronics.

-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.

-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.
-* 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, and thus research speed, but are somewhat costly.
-Research rooms can be kept small and out of major thoroughfares, to minimize the amount of cleaning time and sterile tile used. Alternatively, you can combine research rooms and hospitals, 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 larger, {{Q|Hi-tech research bench|Size}} tile, [[hi-tech research bench]]es and the {{Q|Multi-analyzer|Size}} tile [[multi-analyzer]] that will eventually be required.
