Research

Researches enable new Milestones to be unlocked at the HUB. Researches can be conducted at the M.A.M. which is added to the HUB after completing the tier 0 milestone "Hub Upgrade 5" and finding an item that can be researched. If the engineer pick up an research-able item, a narration from ADA will inform the player to research it. It is advised to check the M.A.M. upon discovering something new to see if that item can be researched.

Performing a research consumes the item(s) being researched and takes some time to complete, depending on the type of research. Some researches require multiple items of the same type. A narration from ADA will be played upon completion of a research. The engineer will then required to proceed to the M.A.M.. Upon opening the M.A.M. UI, ADA will inform the engineer of the research results.

Alternate Recipes
Researching a does not immediately unlock the chosen Alternate Recipe. The corresponding Milestone at The HUB must be completed first, just like with any other M.A.M. research.

If all Alternate Recipes have been unlocked, the M.A.M. will return the Hard Drive after its research concludes.

Researches
Note: Researches marked with a (∞) are repeatable, however those are not accessible in Early Access.

Experimental
Experimental Patch 0.3 completely overhauled the research system. Researches are now done in visual chains in multiple categories in the M.A.M., which is now also a separate building.

The categories are: Hard Drive, Alien Organisms, Caterium, Flower Petals, Mycelia, Nutrients, Power Slugs, Quartz and Sulfur.
