| == Research and Development ==
| | #REDIRECT [[Science Department]] |
| Research and Development (commonly called R&D or RnD) is the job of the [[scientist|scientists]]. <!-- Your intro here Wiki editor -->
| |
| | |
| == Equipment ==
| |
| | |
| === R&D Computer ===
| |

| |
| [[File:RnDscreen.png|600px|thumb|The R&D computer at the start of the Round with no technologies researched.]] <!-- TODO: Put this with a sensible placement -->
| |
| In the R&D computer new technologies can be unlocked via points.
| |
| To research a technology, click on it if it's in the ''Unlockable technologies'' column. Technologies in the ''Future technologies'' are locked behind others, requiring you to research a previous technology (in the ''Unlockable technologies'' column). Technologies in the ''Unlocked technologies'' section have already been researched.

| === Autolathe ===
| |
| [[File:Autolathe.png|64px]]
| |
| | |
| The Autolathe doesn't require any research but only makes engineering and botanical tools as well as low-voltage cables. Requires plastic, steel and glass to use.
| |
| | |
| === Protolathe ===
| |
| [[File:Protolathe.png|64px]]
| |
| | |
| The Protolathe is a machine capable of printing [[Research and Development#Circuit Imprinter|most]] of what you've researched. It can make things such from beakers or ammo. Requires steel, glass and sometimes plastic to use.
| |
| | |
| === Circuit Imprinter ===
| |
| [[File:CircuitImprinter.png|64px]]
| |
| | |
| The Circuit Imprinter is a machine capable of printing machine boards used for creating machines and computers. They require steel, glass and sometimes gold.

| == How to RnD == <!-- TODO: Put a decent title -->
| |
| | |
| === Plan of action ===
| |
| Your main priority at the start of the round is to use the RD computer to research most (if not all) of the research available. Then it's recommended that you build cloning pods for medbay chemical dispensers and ChemMasters for chemistry <s> or just hoard them and become a mega-deparment </s>.
| |
| | |
| == Troubleshooting ==
| |
| | |
| === "I can't get any points/I can't print anything" ===
| |
| The likely cause is that the RD Computer/Protolathe isn't synced up with the RD server.
| |
| | |
| To fix this in the RD Computer/Protolathe click ''Server list'', click on ''ID x || RDSERVER'' and then exist the window. Now when you click ''Sync'' it should (hopefully) work.
