This facility works independent from your other scientists, and adds 20 research points each week to your Science The costs are 100gc and 1 endurium and they take 14 weeks to finish.

Research race bonus gets multiplied with the 20 RP meaning a 50% bonus makes 1 RC give 30 RP per tick (20 points/week * (1+Racebonus%/100%))

  • Once you paid the price for the building itself the research generated by them will be free of charge. Meaning you don't get to pay for the amount of points generated each tick.

Note: With 20RP per week and with a base cost of 100GC and 1 endurium research centers pay themselves back in less then 6 weeks. However overbuilding costs can raise the price of the building. Still, research centers are much more cost effective than putting money into research.

There are 2 situations where cash in research is used:

  • In a specialized banker strategy when RCs aren't wanted as they mess up the TO percentage
  • At the end of the round when you got a huge pile of cash left, no endurium or iron, and you only got 1 hour left to raise your NW.

Then investing in research could benefit you. In other cases it's pretty useless.
