At the University , Researcher can research various upgrades to your colony. These are split into multiple trees: Civilian, Combat, Technology and Unlockables. You access these from the second page of the University GUI.
Each column of a research tree is also the level the University needs to be to begin a research from that column. So:
Research Tree Column | Minimum University Level |
---|---|
1 | 1 |
2 | 2 |
3 | 3 |
4 | 4 |
5+ | 5 |
You can only have one column 6 research in each of the trees. To unlock a different column 6 research for that tree, you must undo the completed one first.
Symbol | Description |
---|---|
![]() | A research can be blocked, either by an unfinished prerequisite research, by a completed blocking research, or because the research tree has another column 6 research already active. |
![]() | A locked research requires a building or buildings, or other unrelated research, before it can be started. |
![]() | An unlocked research has all colony and research requirements met, but requires an item or items. These items must be in the player's inventory. |
![]() | An available research is ready to begin. Clicking the title of the research will consume the items from the player's inventory and start the research. |
![]() | A progressing research is being worked on currently. This research will show its current progression and a rough estimate of the remaining time to completion. A progressing research can be canceled by clicking the research title and then clicking the Cancel pop-up. Cancelling a research will not refund the material costs. |
![]() | A complete research has been fully unlocked by your University . Its effects have been applied to the colony and colonists. |
![]() | Some researches are exclusive, requiring such extreme focus that they aren't compatible with each other. Only one research from a specific or selection may be learned in a colony at a time. |
![]() | Some completed researches may be undone if they block another research in some way, do not have a completed research that depends on them, and are not marked with a redstone torch as irreversible. Undoing a research does not refund the research costs and consumes the displayed item. |
