| | #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 medical machinary & basic parts manufacture , and then everything else. Then it's recommended that you build cloning pods for medbay , chemical dispensers and ChemMasters for chemistry <s> or just hoard them and hand out tricord foam bombs to clowns</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.
