Welcome to the Science department! One second you might be excitedly stumbling onto a money printing artifact. The next moment that same artifact turns science department into a crater. This department is all about throwing caution to the wind all while you scream "'''In the name of science!!"'''
Science is a large department that is composed of a few sections. The sections that are under the science department includes Robotics, Anomalous Research, and Xenoarcheology. There are four jobs that are typically associated with the science department. The jobs that are associated with science includes Research Director, Scientist, Research Assistant, and Cyborgs.
'''Science''', also called '''Research and Development''', '''R&D''', or '''RnD''', is a large department that revolves around the acquisition and use of research points to gain new technologies for the station. The department is composed of three subdepartments—[[Anomalous Research]], [[Xenoarcheology]], and [[Robotics]]—and it's staffed by the [[Research Director]], [[scientist]]s, and [[research assistant]]s, with [[cyborg]]s being manufactured by the department.
'''Robotics''' is the synthetic lifeblood of the station.
Robotics is a department that strives to create as many synthetic lives as they can to help the station and it's crew. Roboticists can make small and helpful bots, such as medibots. They may also focus on more expensive creations like cyborgs and mechs like the Ripley.
=== Anomalous Research ===
[[File:Anomgenbase.png|right|100px]]
[[Anomalous Research]] is focused around the containment and manipulation of various unique anomalies. It's one of R&D's main ways to harvest research points, and the leading cause of headaches in captains of non-coordinated stations. These anomalies can be extremely dangerous to the station if left alone, so be careful!
=== Xenoarcheology ===
[[File:Alien artifact-East-4911.png|right|100px]]
[[Xenoarcheology]] is the other main methodology for producing research points. This methodology for harvesting is simultaneously safer for the station and more dangerous for Science personnel. Xenoarcheology involves a lot of trial and error to figure out to activate alien artifacts, which can be really mild or really dangerous.

=== Research Director ===
[[File:RD.png|right|100px]]
The [[Research Director]] (often shortened to RD) is in charge of the Science department and oversees the duties of Research and Development.
=== [[Xenoarcheology]] ===
While they will ideally have Scientists under them to aid in research, they are expected to have at least a fundamental understanding of how to operate their department. The Research Director will be focusing on teaching any staff that needs assistance. The Research Director is also expected to lead the team through a path of research through the Research Tree. The Research Director might also have to pick up any role that is missing so that the department remains functional.

[[Scientist]]s follow guidance, direction, and tasks assigned by the Research Director.
Scientists are usually tasked with providing research points by researching artifacts or studying anomalies. Scientists may also be tasked with building and providing various high tech tools, weapons, equipment, and machines to the other various departments. It's important as a scientist to be kind to your colleagues, provide gifts for others, and throw caution to the wind '''in the name of science!'''

Brought to life by the power of research and technology sits the silicon life of the [[Cyborg]].
The Cyborg is bound by [[Server Rules#Silicones must follow Silicon Rules|silicon laws]] that restrict how they can interact with others. With a default "crewsimov" set of laws the cyborg will be out to help the crew in any way they are asked to. Cyborgs typically will report to Science to assist research and in turn gain the benefit of new chassis and modules that will aid their goals.

Research points are used to unlock new technologies and can be acquired through a few different sources, the most profitable being 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.
=== [[Research Assistant]] ===
Points can also be acquired through research disks, which can be found in maintenance, expeditions, or salvaged from space.

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.

[[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.
New technologies can be researched in the R&D Console by using previously generated points. When opening the console, it will display the department's current amount of research points, Main Discipline, and tiers for each discipline. On the right side of the console's window is a list of four different technologies, one for each discipline. This list is randomized each time the department researches a new technology, taking from the ''Researchable Technologies'' list on the left side. Technologies that have already been researched are listed in the ''Unlocked Technologies'' section.
=== R&D Tree ===
The four disciplines into which technologies are categorized are ''Industrial'', ''Arsenal'', ''Experimental'', and ''Civilian Services'', with the first three being aimed towards the [[Engineering]], [[Security]], and Science departments respectively, while Civilian Services mainly covers [[Service]], with a handful of technologies aimed at [[Medical]] and [[Cargo]].
The R&D tree is the main focus of the R&D system. The R&D Tree system is composed of four categories: Industrial, Arsenal, Experimental, and Civilian Services. When accessing the R&D console you will get a choice of one node of each of the four categories.
The nodes are sorted into multiple tiers.
Technologies are ranked into three tiers, with tier 1 being lower than tier 2 and this, in turn, being lower than tier 3. Generally, higher tier technologies unlock stronger and better equipment than lower tiers. To research higher tier technologies, the department must increase the tier of the respective discipline, done by researching the majority of technologies available in the prior tier. For example, researching the majority of tier 1 Industrial technologies will allow scientists to the research tier 2 Industrial technologies, but not tier 2 Arsenal, Experimental, or Civilian Services technologies.
<ul>
* Tier 1 has basic technologies.
* Tier 2 has moderately advanced technologies.
Assuming they have enough points, the Science department can research all tier 1 and tier 2 technologies but, generally, they must choose a single discipline to increase to tier 3, as researching tier 3 technologies for one discipline will lock out tier 3 technologies for the other three disciplines. This tier 3 discipline becomes their ''Main Discipline''. It is possible to get tier 3 technologies from other disciplines, either through gambling with the Technology Disk Terminal or by acquiring multiple R&D servers, as the Main Discipline is only a per-server limit.
* Tier 3 has highly advanced technologies.
All the progress made by the Science department, including points and technologies, is stored in the R&D server; if the department loses its server, all unlocked technologies will be lost and all connected fabricators will lose the ability to craft items associated with these technologies.
</ul>
To advance from one tier to another you must purchase the majority of a single tier from a category before you can advance to the next. For example, buying the majority of the tier 1 Industrial category will advance you to the tier 2 industrial category.
'''You can research all nodes from each category until you research a tier 3 research from one category. Researching the tier 3 node from a category will lock you to that category as your "Main Discipline".''' It is possible to acquire multiple R&D servers but the game will only allow one Main Discipline per R&D server. Tier three research that is not your Main Discipline may also be acquired through gambling with the '''[[Research and Development#Alternative Research|Technology Disk Terminal]]'''.
[[File:Technology_Disk_Printer.png|alt=Technology Disk Terminal sprite|right|100px]]
There is another method to research a technology, and that is using the Technology Disk Terminal. If there is no such console immediately available within the station, it can be created after researching the Tier 1 Experimental technology ''Alternative Research''.
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 is dispensed, containing the recipe of any single random item of any tier for the lathes to fabricate. The item ranges from a redundant item that has already been researched to highly sought-after and expensive items.
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 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 recipes from technologies that have been locked out in favor of the Main Discipline.

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.
The [[Protolathe]], [[Circuit Imprinter]], [[Security Techfab]], [[Medical Techfab]], and the [[Exosuit Fabricator]] gain new recipes when researching technologies. These machines can only access unlocked recipes if they're connected to the R&D server, so make sure they're set up properly.

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:

Uh oh, this page is still under research!
Due to the nature of Science, this page can be out of date or lacking information. This page will be updated as soon as we can. We thank you for your patience crewmate!
Welcome to the Science department!
One second you might be excitedly stumbling onto a money printing artifact. The next moment that same artifact turns the Science department into a crater. This department is all about throwing caution to the wind all while you scream "In the name of science!"
Science, also called Research and Development, R&D, or RnD, is a large department that revolves around the acquisition and use of research points to gain new technologies for the station. The department is composed of three subdepartments—Anomalous Research, Xenoarcheology, and Robotics—and it's staffed by the Research Director, scientists, and research assistants, with cyborgs being manufactured by the department.
Anomalous Research is focused around the containment and manipulation of various unique anomalies. It's one of R&D's main ways to harvest research points, and the leading cause of headaches in captains of non-coordinated stations. These anomalies can be extremely dangerous to the station if left alone, so be careful!
Xenoarcheology
Xenoarcheology is the other main methodology for producing research points. This methodology for harvesting is simultaneously safer for the station and more dangerous for Science personnel. Xenoarcheology involves a lot of trial and error to figure out to activate alien artifacts, which can be really mild or really dangerous.
Robotics
Robotics is the synthetic lifeblood of the station. Robotics strives to create as many synthetic lives as they can to help the station and its crew. Roboticists can make small and helpful bots, such as medibots. They may also focus on more expensive creations like Cyborgs and mechs, such as the Ripley APLU.
Staff
Research Director
The Research Director (often shortened to RD) is in charge of the Science department and oversees the duties of Research and Development.
While they will ideally have Scientists under them to aid in research, they are expected to have at least a fundamental understanding of how to operate their department. The Research Director will be focusing on teaching any staff that needs assistance. The Research Director is also expected to lead the team through a path of research through the Research Tree. The Research Director might also have to pick up any role that is missing so that the department remains functional.
Scientist
Scientists follow guidance, direction, and tasks assigned by the Research Director.
Scientists are usually tasked with providing research points by researching artifacts or studying anomalies. Scientists may also be tasked with building and providing various high tech tools, weapons, equipment, and machines to the other various departments. It's important as a scientist to be kind to your colleagues, provide gifts for others, and throw caution to the wind in the name of science!
Research Assistant
Research assistants follow guidance, direction, and tasks assigned by the Research Director and Scientists.
Research assistants are usually tasked with providing research points by researching artifacts or studying anomalies. Feel free to ask someone higher up if you get confused on what to do or how to do something. Study, learn, and watch your teacher blow up the Science department while trying to teach you artifacts!
Cyborg
Brought to life by the power of research and technology sits the silicon life of the Cyborg.
The Cyborg is bound by silicon laws that restrict how they can interact with others. With a default "crewsimov" set of laws the cyborg will be out to help the crew in any way they are asked to. Cyborgs typically will report to Science to assist research and in turn gain the benefit of new chassis and modules that will aid their goals.
Researching technologies
Research points are used to unlock new technologies and can be acquired through a few different sources, the most profitable being 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, expeditions, or salvaged from space.
The user interface of the R&D Console
New technologies can be researched in the R&D Console by using previously generated points. When opening the console, it will display the department's current amount of research points, Main Discipline, and tiers for each discipline. On the right side of the console's window is a list of four different technologies, one for each discipline. This list is randomized each time the department researches a new technology, taking from the Researchable Technologies list on the left side. Technologies that have already been researched are listed in the Unlocked Technologies section.
The four disciplines into which technologies are categorized are Industrial, Arsenal, Experimental, and Civilian Services, with the first three being aimed towards the Engineering, Security, and Science departments respectively, while Civilian Services mainly covers Service, with a handful of technologies aimed at Medical and Cargo.
Technologies are ranked into three tiers, with tier 1 being lower than tier 2 and this, in turn, being lower than tier 3. Generally, higher tier technologies unlock stronger and better equipment than lower tiers. To research higher tier technologies, the department must increase the tier of the respective discipline, done by researching the majority of technologies available in the prior tier. For example, researching the majority of tier 1 Industrial technologies will allow scientists to the research tier 2 Industrial technologies, but not tier 2 Arsenal, Experimental, or Civilian Services technologies.
Assuming they have enough points, the Science department can research all tier 1 and tier 2 technologies but, generally, they must choose a single discipline to increase to tier 3, as researching tier 3 technologies for one discipline will lock out tier 3 technologies for the other three disciplines. This tier 3 discipline becomes their Main Discipline. It is possible to get tier 3 technologies from other disciplines, either through gambling with the Technology Disk Terminal or by acquiring multiple R&D servers, as the Main Discipline is only a per-server limit.
All the progress made by the Science department, including points and technologies, is stored in the R&D server; if the department loses its server, all unlocked technologies will be lost and all connected fabricators will lose the ability to craft items associated with these technologies.
There is another method to research a technology, and that is using the Technology Disk Terminal. If there is no such console immediately 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 is dispensed, containing the recipe of any single random item of any tier for the lathes to fabricate. The item ranges from a redundant item that has already been researched to highly sought-after and expensive items.
When used early into the round, it may reward the 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 recipes from technologies that have been locked out in favor of the Main Discipline.
The following section will only cover recipes unlocked through research.

Hyper Convection Machines
Hyper convection machines are a highly valuable upgrade that is obtained from the Industrial Engineering technology. These will only use half the original materials needed when crafting. However, they produce an immense amount of heat, which can quickly become lethal without sufficient preparations. One of the ways to make a safe enclosure for hyper convection machines is:
Build a 2x3 box of directional reinforced windows, with a windoor for access.
Create an air alarm and an air sensor. Place the air sensor within the box and the air alarm nearby.
Put at least one space heater in the glass box.4a. Turn on the space heaters and set their power level to High.
Hack the air alarm or ask an engineer to help you with networking. To hack the air alarm, first use a screwdriver on it to open the panel. When the panel is open, use a wirecutter 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 (short for ACCESS), which controls who is authorized to network and control the air alarm.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.
Use a multitool or a network configurator and click on the air sensor first, followed by the air alarm.6a. Click Add on the air alarm GUI and then close the GUI.
In a similar process, use a multitool or a network configurator and click on the windoor first, followed by the air alarm. 7a. Click the Danger button and then click Close. Click on the Warning button and click Close. Finally, click the Normal button and then click Open. Then click the Done button.
Create the hyper convection circuit imprinter machine board at the circuit imprinter. Create or gather 1 matter bin and 1 igniter. Use a screwdriver to open the panel on the Circuit Imprinter.8a. Use a crowbar to deconstruct the imprinter into a machine frame.8b. Use a crowbar again to remove the parts from the machine frame.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.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 set-up hyper convection machines for safe use! Good work, fellow scientist!
