I took some screenshots of Research Details

[Beric]

We really need to get these on a wiki. Lots of duplicates.

Hello!

I heard the order of the technologies are randomized. Does that mean I could have a 10000 point technology available for research before a 1500 point technology?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I've definitely seen some Youtubers get 7K research very early game, so I'm sure that's possible.

Bryartuck, thanks for listing all of those techs!

Thanks!

The order is randomized and the costs are determined by the order. You'll see a tech cost 1k one game then 2k the next. That said there is some kind of clear weighting system or minimum distance form the left on some techs. Like medium domes are always a good distance from the start and mega domes are always going to be deep in. I also always see farms appearing in the first 3ish of biotech. Martian crowdfunding and Live From Mars are also frequently in the first 3 of social.

Few more:

A recent mishap in the lab seems to be an exception, as we have created a new and breed of fungi which hold much promise.

The 'Superfungus' breakthrough has a spelling mistake in the discription.


Saying "a new and breed of fungi" doesn't make sense.

You are not a fun guy apparently.

... at this point, I’m a little confused on how research works. Breakthrougs are special and you can’t get all of them in a single game.

Are they random?

And what about ordinary tech? Is that completely random too, or fixed?

Kinda sucks if the efficacy of your final colony depends on RNG. I’m not sure I’m a fan.

Hello! As to my understanding, you can research all the regular technologies, but the order they appear will change each playthrough. As for the breakthrough technologies, they are randomized and you will not really have access to all of them in each playthrough. If I remember correctly, I saw a video in which one of the devs said about 1/3 or 1/4 of the breakthrough technologies will be accessible each time you start a new game.
Cheers!
