== Research and Development ==
Research and Development (commonly called R&D or RnD) is the job of the [[scientist|Scientists]]. The department typically lies behind purple and grey doors. In the department typically exists a set of Lathe and R&D machines. Often you will see lockers with lab equipment in them.
 
R&D gameplay largely revolves around the acquisition and use of '''research points''' to gain new technologies for the station.
 
== Point Generation ==
Research points can be acquired through a few different sources.
 
The most profitable form of point generation is [[Xenoarcheology]], which is the process of analyzing and activating different randomly generated artifacts that can be found via events, salvage debris, and by ordering them from cargo. Most artifacts have more than one "Stimulus-Reaction" combination (known scientifically as Nodes), so make sure to scan and activate as many of them as you can before selling it to cargo, or keeping it around because its effects are cool enough to warrant keeping.
 
Another highly valuable source of research points is [[Anomalous Research]]. Most R&D departments come equipped with an Anomaly Generator, Anomalous Particle Emitters (A.P.E.) and Anomaly Vessels, which are used to spawn, interact with, and generate points from anomalies respectively. Anomalies can come in different forms, ranging from raging balls of pink-hot matter, to electrically-discharging motes of light, to radioactive gravity wells, so make sure to wear some protective gear while studying them.
 
Points can also be acquired through research disks, which can be found in maintenance, salvaged from space, or found on expeditions.
 
== R&D System ==
[[File:RDComputer.png|100px]]
[[File:R&D Console UI.png|alt=The user interface of the R&D Console|thumb|The user interface of the R&D Console]]
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.
 
== Alternative Research ==
[[File:Technology Disk Printer.png|100px]]
 
There is another method to research a technology, and that is using the '''Technology Disk Terminal'''. If there is no such console available within the station, it can be created after researching the Tier 1 Experimental Technology, "Alternative Research".
 
By spending 1000 research points, a technology disk would be dispensed, containing the recipe of a single random item (of any tier) for the lathes to fabricate. The random item ranges from a HAMTR Harness within the "Critter Mechs" technology, a redundant item you've already researched, to the highly-sought-after (and expensive) satchel of holding.
 
When used early into the round, it may reward the research department with end-tier items immediately at the cost of the primary research progress. This is essentially gambling with research points, so ensure that your department agrees with this plan. When used late into the round, it may grant the research department recipes of technologies that have been locked out of the direct research method of unlocking the technology.
 
== Equipment ==
There are many different recipes that can be locked behind research. The [[Protolathe]], [[Circuit Imprinter]], [[Security Techfab]], [[Medical Tecfab]], and the [[Exosuit Fabricator]] are currently the only machines that directly benefit by gaining new recipes when you achieve certain research. The following section will only cover what recipes are unlocked through research, for a full list on what each machine can craft please check out the [[Protolathe]], [[Circuit Imprinter]], [[Security Techfab]], [[Medical Tecfab]], and [[Exosuit Fabricator]] pages.
 
=== [[Protolathe]] ===
[[File:Protolathe.png|100px]]
 
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 large beakers to microreactor batteries. [[Protolathe|Protolathes]] are mainly found at science but can (sometimes) be found in engineering or on salvage expeditions.

=== Hyper Convection Machines ===
[[File:Hyper convection autolathe-East-3541.png|alt=Hyper convection autolathe sprite|100x100px]][[File:Hyper convection protolathe-East-3552.png|alt=Hyper convection protolathe sprite|100x100px]][[File:Hyper convection circuit imprinter-East-3585.png|alt=Hyper convection circuit imprinter sprite|100x100px]]
 
Hyper convection machine are a highly valuable upgrade that is obtained from the Industrial Engineering research node. Hyper convection machines will craft items at a 50% discount from the original cost. The trade-off when it comes to these powerful machines is that they produce an immense amount of heat. The heat that is produced from these machines can quickly become lethal if sufficient preparations are not made. One of the ways to make a safe enclosure for hyper convection machines is:
 
#Un-wrench the machines and move the {{item icon|Protolathe|size=32px}}, {{item icon|Autolathe|size=32px}}, and {{item icon|Circuit Imprinter|size=32px}} to the back wall. If there is a {{item icon|R&D Computer|size=32px}}, move it out of the way.[[File:HyperA.png|alt=Hyperconvection building part 1|center]]
#Build a 2x3 box of {{item icon|directional reinforced window|label=directional reinforced windows|size=32px}}. At the middle-right side of the box create a {{item icon|windoor|label=windoor|size=32px}}.[[File:HyperB.png|alt=Hyperconvection building part 2|center]]
#Create an {{item icon|air alarm|size=32px}} and a {{item icon|air sensor|size=32px}}. Place the air sensor within the box at the center right, and the air alarm nearby for convenience.[[File:HyperC.png|alt=Hyperconvection building part 3|center]]
#Create one (required) or two (optional) {{item icon|space heater|label=space heater(s)|size=32px}} at the top-right and bottom-right of the box.[[File:HyperD.png|alt=Hyperconvection part 4|center]]4a. Set the space heaters to have {{button|High|state=pressed}} energy consumption and make sure that they are {{button|On|state=pressed}}.[[File:HyperD1.png|alt=Hyperconvection part 4.1|center]]
#Either [[Hacking|hack]] the air alarm or ask an engineer to help you with [[networking]]. To [[Hacking|hack]] the air alarm we must first use a {{item icon|screwdriver|size=32px}} on it to open the panel. When the panel is open use a {{item icon|wirecutter|size=32px}} tool on the air alarm itself. The lights above refer to the wires below. The wire that we are looking to cut is the ACC wire. The ACC wire is what controls who is authorized to network and control the Air Alarm.[[File:HyperE1.png|alt=Air alarm panel|center]]5a. Cut the wires from left to right (by clicking on them with a wirecutter in hand) until you get the ACC light to turn off. You may get unlucky like I did and hit a power wire before the ACC wire, you will get shocked because of this.  Skip the power wire and continue until you reach the ACC wire. Once you have found the ACC wire repair all other wires (by clicking on them with a wirecutter in hand) and leave the ACC wire cut. Close the panel on the air alarm with the screwdriver.[[File:HyperE2.png|alt=Hyperconvection part 4.2|center]]
#Use a {{item icon|multitool|size=32px}} or a {{item icon|network configurator|size=32px}} and click on the air sensor first, followed by the air alarm.[[File:HyperF2.png|alt=air sensor clicked|center]]6a. Click {{button|Add}} on the air alarm GUI and then close the GUI.[[File:HyperF1.png|alt=Air alarm networking|center]]
#In a similar process, use a multitool or a network configurator and click on the windoor first, followed by the air alarm. [[File:HyperG1.png|alt=Hyperconvection networking windoor|center]]7a. Click the {{button|Danger}} button and then click {{button|Close}}. Click on the {{button|Warning}} button and click {{button|Close}}. Finally, click the {{button|Normal}} button and then click {{button|Open}}. Then click the {{button|Done}} button.[[File:HyperG2.png|alt=Hyperconvection networking windoor|center]]
#Create the {{item icon|CircuitImprinterHyperConvectionMachineCircuitboard|size=32px}} at the Circuit Imprinter. Create or gather 1 matter bin and 1 igniter. Use a screwdriver to open the panel on the Circuit Imprinter.[[File:Imprinter_panel_open.png|alt=Imprinter panel open|center]]8a. Use a crowbar to deconstruct the imprinter into a machine frame.[[File:Imprinter_machineframe.png|alt=Imprinter machineframe|center]]8b. Use a crowbar again to remove the parts from the machine frame.[[File:Imprinter_machineframe1.png|alt=Imprinter machineframe1|center]]8c. Remove the Circuit Imprinter machine board from the stack of items. Click on the machine frame while holding the hyper convection Circuit Imprinter machine board. Shift click the machine frame and fill it with the rest of the materials that it requires. (You should have all the materials if the previous steps were followed).[[File:Machine_frame_p3.png|center]]8d. Screwdriver the machine frame to finish the construction. (If this does not work you are missing materials).
# Repeat step 8 through 8d with the Protolathe and Autolathe machines.
# Congratulations! You have built a hyper convection machines and a safe setup! Good work fellow scientist!
 
== Troubleshooting ==
 
=== "I can't get any points/I can't print anything" ===
The likely cause is that the Lathe/Imprinter/Computer isn't synced up with the RD server.
 
To fix this in the Lathe/Imprinter/Computer click ''Server list'', click on ''ID x || RDSERVER'' and then exit the window.
