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.
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.
Research can be a very Dirty affair. And since NERON will lock unclean personnel out of the research console, wearing the Stainproof Apron when participating is mandatory to avoid suspicion and 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% |
5-7% | +1-2% |
6-9% | +1-1% |
12-18% | +1-1% |
15-28% | +1-2% |
18-27% | +1-1% |
Research requirements
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 theyare not met, the research option will not be visible, though any progress made is preserved.
The most important conditions for research are:
- The presence of a Mush Sample in the lab. (Or Contact made with Nils Carlsson.)
- The presence of Zhong Chun in the lab. (Or decoded Zhong Chun's Genome Codex.)
- The presence of the Mush Genome Disk, which can be obtained by finding the Mush genome data.
- A Dead Mush. (The place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus.) A Mush that is traded will not count as a dead Mush.
There will be messages indicating when certain requirements are met:
Some projects also require other related items on the shelf. Finally, the "#NCC Contact Lenses" are a special case in that Schrödinger needs to be picked up and held in the inventory while working on them.
