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 pointsor [[relic of knowledge]]. 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. They can also be upgraded, but while installed into a tech slot.

3 of a technology the same tech can upgrade be upgraded for double the increased power before unupgraded version. Losing some of the original power to save 2 slots help 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. It [[Research facility]] is also the only building that has a cap, at 8 buildings specificallyper region. The assets you can get from researching:*[[Blueprint]]s*[[Rocket]]*[[Galactic coordinate]]s
