Revision as of 19:33, 17 February 2014
Research plays a vital role in fighting the 
Mush menace, slowing their advance and making it more difficult for them to perform their actions. Eventually, as research grows more complex and advanced tools become available, a permanent Mush cure and a distant Utopian world can even be discovered. Nothing is impossible for the resourceful crew for the Daedalus!
Mechanics
The Research Lab terminal can be accessed in the Laboratory. It brings up options for fighting Mush, granting the crew bonus 
Glory and provides a number of useful commodities.
Research can be a Dirty affair, and since NERON will lock unclean personnel out of the research console, wearing the Stainproof Apron when participating is recommended to avoid long treks to the shower.
Participating in research costs 2 
, and the efficiency is increased for 
Biologist and 
Medic characters:
| Icon | Description | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
 |
Neither Biologist nor Medic |
Base efficiency |
 |
Biologist or Medic (i.e. only one) |
Base efficiency + 4-6% |
 |
Biologist and Medic (i.e. both) |
Base efficency + 8-12% |
A character's research efficiency drops with every participation, requiring Relaying to reset it.
The BIOS affects research in that the Crew Lock can be set to Research, limiting participation to Biologist and Medic characters, and CPU Priority can also be set to Research, increasing efficiency by 1-1% or 1-2%:
| Base efficiency | Added efficiency |
|---|---|
| 1-1% | +1-2% |
| 3-4% | +1-2% |
| 6-9% | +1-1% |
| 12-18% | +1-1% |
| 15-28% | +1-2% |
| 18-27% | +1-1% |
Many research options have certain conditions that must be met before they become available, including the presence of certain objects or characters in the Laboratory. If these conditions are not met, the research option will not be visible, though any progress made on them is preserved. The most important conditions for research are:
- Presence of a
Mush Sample, which can be replaced by decoding a Xyloph DB entry
- Presence of the
Mush Genome Disk, which can be obtained by decoding a Xyloph DB entry
- The presence of
Zhong Chun, which can be replaced by decoding a Xyloph DB entry
- The
Unknown Character (the place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus)
The gained for certain research projects is immediately obtained by all living humans upon completion, and an additional can be earned when reaching Sol or Eden.
Chun earns an additional 4 each time a research requiring her presence is completed.
Finola earns an additional 3 for all Mush-related research.
List of Research projects
There are a total of 23 possible researches. Except "NCC Contact Lenses" research which you must pick up 
Schrödinger when you do the research, all the rest which require items just need to be put on the shelf. Some research projects require the presence of Chun in the Laboratory, or a ghost copy of her (which requires decoding Zhong Chun's Genome Codex at Xyloph DB).

Pheromodem
With this piece of research, humans can access and communicate in the Mush channel. However, everybody's names are obfuscated and they appear as "mush" to each other. This does not apply to the Mush themselves, who see everybody's real names.
When messages such as spores being placed appear in the channel, the names of the participates will show in a scrambled form, however the number of characters in the scrambled name matches up (including spaces), this includes previous communications that appear in the channel aswell.
