Before a Product may be built, it must first be Researched.
Research happens automatically for all Products checked in the Product Selection menu. If the player is not interested in building a product, it is recommended to uncheck Researching that product to save time in their build. Navigate to the Anvil Tab , click on the dropdown menu at the top, then choose Product Selection. From this menu, any undesired products may be unchecked to skip researching them.
Total Research Output per second can be viewed on the second tab . This value is obtained by multiplying the number of hired Scientists with your Research Multiplier. The cost to hire additional Scientists are listed on the Research Costs page. Having a certain number of hired Scientists will also grant ranks in the Scientific Method Achievement.
