When getting some high level parts (like anomaly cores) it will bring the tech to the item level (not item level+1) so, if possible, try to get to the item's level first, but it's acceptable to consume an anomaly since it'll usually land you on the max.

To clarify - This guide is basically worthless on tgstation, as it has been entirely replaced by the new system. It'll be updated... eventually

Research & Development

  • R&D (not to be confused with the RD) consists of scientists spending research points on a tech web to unlock technology that can be used for various departments.
  • Essentially this means that a scientist in this modern world doesn't actually have to know any of the concepts he's working with; it's all about pressing science buttons and playing with the resulting toys! Ain't life grand?

Tech Webs

Research points are generated at a static rate and can be spent on Technology Nodes at the console.

This is what your console will look like at the start of the round.

R&dconsolestart.png

Simply click into any of the technologies to see what it requires and what it unlocks. The number next to each technology represents its cost. To unlock a technology, click the cost to spend your research points on it.

The console will update the screen to reflect your new research and send out a notification in chat.


For new scientists, you should strongly consider aiming for Advanced Bluespace Research and Advanced Mining Technology.

This will give mining the tools needed to bring back much more ore to fund science projects.

Certain round circumstances may call for different research early on, talk to your fellow scientists!


The progression is not linear and many research options require multiple pre-requisite technologies.

To assist in understanding: provided below is a diagram.

Deconstruction

Decon.png Deconstruction is done through the Destructive Analyzer:

  1. Sync the Destructive Analyzer to the research computer if it's not synced.
  2. Insert an item into it.
  3. Use the computer.

The computer will show you the name of the object, if it unlocks any tech nodes, and how many materials you get from deconstruction.

The Destructive Analyzer will recover a portion of the materials contained inside scanned items and transfer it to a connected protolathe. Upgrading it will increase the amount recovered.

Construction

See here how to build machines out of the components you discover. This is where advanced technology you discovered by increasing tech trees will be made. Nothing exciting at first can be built, but you will get increasingly more fun devices as tech trees increase. You will unlock items for the Exosuit Fabricator as well.

Upgrading Machines

All machines are composed of components. There are better versions of many components, attained through research. They are organized in 4 tiers, and upgrading the tier of a machine's components will have different effects for each machine.

Without minerals, you can achieve up to tier 2-3; to go further you'll require ores for production.

Stock Parts
Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 Usual Effect
Micro Manipulator.png Micro-Manipulator Nano Manipulator.png Nano-Manipulator Pico Manipulator.png Pico-Manipulator Femto Manipulator.gif Diamonddone.pngFemto-Manipulator Improves speed and efficiency.
Matter bin.png Basic Matter Bin Advanced Matter Bin.png Advanced Matter Bin Super Matter Bin.png Super Matter Bin Bluespace Matter Bin.gif Diamonddone.pngBluespace Matter Bin Improves capacity.

Scanning Module.gif Basic Scanning Module File:Adv scan module.gif Advanced Scanning Module Super scan module.gif Silverdone.pngPhasic Scanning Module Triphasic Scanning Module.gif Diamonddone.pngTriphasic Scanning Module Improves scanning precision.
Capacitor.png Basic Capacitor File:Adv capacitor.png Advanced Capacitor Super capacitor.png Golddone.pngSuper Capacitor Quadratic Capacitor.gif Diamonddone.pngQuadratic Capacitor Improves power efficiency.


Once you unlock advanced components, people around the station will probably want you to upgrade the machinery. The process is simple.

  1. Screwdriver on the machine.
  2. Crowbar on the machine.
  3. Take the board and re-insert it into machine.
  4. Insert parts you want to use.
  5. Screwdriver.

RPED.gif Alternately, you can use RPED (Rapid Part Exchange Device):

  1. Load RPED with parts.
  2. Screwdriver on the machine.
  3. Click on it with RPED.
  4. Screwdriver again.

Here you can see how the specific machines will benefit from parts.

Proto.png Protolathe

  • The Protolathe requires materials such as metal, glass and mineable minerals, each sheet gives 2000 units when inserted into a Protolathe. It allows you to build objects such as stock parts, mining equipment, power cells and many more. Weaponry can also be built, but will require a firing pin from the armory, the RD's locker or ordered from cargo, if you wish to use it for combat.
  • Building 5 or 10 of the same item is faster than building it one at a time for 10 times; if you need lots of a particular item, mass produce them!
  • Some items may also require chems. Just pour them into the Protolathe to insert them.

Circuit.png Circuit Imprinter

  • The Circuit Imprinter requires acid, glass and occasionally gold or diamond. Here you will find circuits for most of the station's machinery and robotics' exosuits. With gold and diamonds, you can also make AI law modules.
  • Information on how to construct machines is available at the Guide to advanced construction.
  • Circuits cost 1000 glass and 20 acid each, becoming cheaper with upgrades.

  • Robotics starts with two of these. This machine will build everything a roboticist needs to do his job, aside from circuits. To update its research levels:
    • Sync the R&D Research Console.
    • Sync the Robotics Research Console.
    • Sync the Exosuit Fabricator.
  • Can be used directly, without the Research Console.
