Research UI

Research is done to increase Building production and unlock types of Building. Note that the list below applies as of version 2.4.2.0; in other versions the research list may look different; for example, many of the Exotic Matter Gather upgrades listed below used to have generic "Improve X" names.

With the exception of global upgrades and inventing new types of buildings, each research is part of a chain and is available only after completing research before it.
