Research and Development
Research and Development (commonly called R&D or RnD) is the job of the 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
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.
R&D Tree
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.
- Tier 1 has basic technologies.
- Tier 2 has moderately advanced technologies.
- Tier 3 has highly advanced technologies.
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 Technology Disk Terminal.

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 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
The Protolathe is a machine capable of printing most of what you've researched. It can make things such from large beakers to microreactor batteries. Protolathes are mainly found at science but can (sometimes) be found in engineering or on salvage expeditions.

Hyper Convection Machines
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 protolathe, autolathe, and circuit imprinter to the back wall. If there is a , move it out of the way. R&D computer
- Build a 2x3 box of . At the middle-right side of the box create a directional reinforced windows. windoor
- Create an and a air alarm. Place the air sensor within the box at the center right, and the air alarm nearby for convenience. air sensor
- Create one (required) or two (optional) at the top-right and bottom-right of the box.4a. Set the space heaters to have High energy consumption and make sure that they are On. space heater(s)
- Either hack the air alarm or ask an engineer to help you with networking. To hack the air alarm we must first use a on it to open the panel. When the panel is open use a screwdriver 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.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. wirecutter

Click on the Warning button and click Close. Finally, click the Normal button and then click Open. Then click the Done button.

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). hyper convection circuit imprinter machine board
- 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.
