Research

Researching

Research in Space Haven is done by building one or more research labs, and having a crew member with a Research skill of 1 or higher prioritize research in the crew management menu. Keep in mind that it is possible to build more than one research labs, and have multiple crew members researching. This will speed up the process.

A good rule of thumb would be to have 2 research labs and give 2 crew members some priority on research in the crew management menu.

The Research Tree & Research Modules

Each research module in the research tree can be unlocked by completing 3 different tiers of research points. The 3 different research points can be seen with the green, yellow and red laboratory flask icons.

• Green Laboratory Flask - Tier 1 Research points. These research points can be completed even by crew members with low research skill.
• Yellow Laboratory Flask - Tier 2 Research points. These research points require a moderate research skill to have a good success rate.
• Red Laboratory Flask - Tier 3 Research points. These research points require a high research skill to have a good success rate.

Note that even if a character has a very high research skill it does not necessarily mean they will succeed every iteration. It means their chances of succeeding are significantly higher than those with a low research skill level.
