Researching

Introduction
Researching is done to unlock more technologies for your company. This includes new vehicles, the abilities to process new materials or manufacture more valuable products. Most researches require other researches to be completed in order to be accessible. Some researches are completed by default when starting a new game. The official goal of the game, the Computing Devices research, is the final research of the research tree.

Internally, researching is ordered by tiers which determine the base cost, base duration and base number of items needed. The research tiers have no influence on whether one research is a prerequisite for another.

The cost increases with game duration when inflation is turned on.
