Research

Can be accessed with the Research button in the Main Menu. This is where you can spend resources and materials to unlock various quality-of-life functions, AGS blueprints and upgrade the rank of your units if applicable.

Facility Research

Unlock and/or enhance various functions that affect gameplay.

To unlock a research project, you need to complete the preceding research as well as each project's additional requirements.

Research projects of the same column tend to have similar requirements, with each project requiring more investment than the last. Note that fulfilled requirements of a previous project will NOT count towards the following projects.

After all the requirements are fulfilled and you have enough resources and materials, the project can be carried out, which takes anywhere from a few seconds to several hours. You can spend a Strange Circuit to complete the research instantly. However, it is recommended not to spend them on earlier projects and save them for later researches in Robot Engineering, or spend them on instantly completing Base Rooms upgrade.

Note: You can only research 1 Facility Research OR Robot Research at the same time.

Robot Engineering

Research different projects to unlock the ability to craft certain AGS in Workshop.

Just like Facility Research, you are required to complete previous projects in the tree before the lower ones are unlocked, however, there are no additional requirements other than having the required materials, meaning projects can be carried right after you complete the previous one as long as you have the materials to do so.

Most AGS units require more than one project to be completed to unlock the ability to craft them in the Workshop.

Just like Facility Research, you may spend one Strange Circuit to skip the waiting time of a project.

Note: You can only research 1 Facility Research OR Robot Research at the same time.
