Editing Research

Research allows [[corporation|corporations]] to discover [[blueprint|blueprints]] by spending 1,000,000 [[energy]] and $1,000,000, with an additional expense of 500,000 [[energy]]+ for every research facility beyond 6 in the region, which can then be instantly finished with 4x gratitude points. Corporations need to have a [[research facility]] built in the region to perform research.  Blueprints can be developed into their respective [[:Category:Asset#Technology|technologies]] to be installed in a region. 

3 of the same tech can be upgraded for increased power. Losing some of the original power to save 2 slots helps when you have other tech that can fit the other spots. When the tech is already u, sometimes the 3 techs are actually better off combined to uu as they give more than 3x benefit. Any non-stackable tech one wishes to keep should ALWAYS be upgraded to maximum capacity ASAP.

Upgraded tech becomes (tech name)u. Upgrading consumes 3 of the original tech to build the tech u. Some tech can be upgraded to another level, creating a (tech name)uu. Use the examine command to view each tech. Note: Tech installed into a region tech slot can not be upgraded, uninstall the tech to upgrade.

Multiple research projects can occur simultaneously as long as they are started in separate regions. [[Research facility]] is the only building that has a cap, at 8 buildings per region.

The assets you can get from researching:
*[[Blueprint]]s
*[[Rocket]]
*[[Galactic coordinate]]s

=== Multiple Research Facilities ===
With multiple research facilities, the chance of your outcome containing at least once of some rarity is

'''P(at least one of some rarity) = 1 - (1 - base chance for that rarity)^n'''

where n is the number of research facilities you have. For example, the chance of having at least one Superior in your outcome with eight research facilities is

'''1 - (1 - 0.01) ^ 8 = 0.0772553055720799 or 7.7%'''
