Completing a research project will unlock blueprints for new or improved machinery and upgrades as well as more advanced research projects.

The first few projects only cost Research Points and a small amount of energy and are performed at the Research Station.

More advanced research projects with the description "Requires Laboratory" must be completed through the use of the Laboratory, and will require items such as Experimental Pods, and an extremely high amount of energy to complete.

 Project List[]

The following is a list of research projects that are obtained by spending Research Points at the Research Station
