[[Science]], often called Research and Development, is a job made up of both generating research points to unlock new technologies as well as using said technologies to produce new items at lathes to help out the station.<br />
<br />
==Personnel==<br />
[[Science]]'s staff is made up of Research Assistants and Scientists. [[Science]] is run by the Research Director.<br />

The most important thing inside your department is the R&D server, which stores unlocked technologies, and the R&D computer, which allows you to unlock [[technologies]].<br />
<br />
Each technology costs [[Research Points]] and unlocks recipes at lathes. Some technologies will also have prerequisites you have to unlock before you can research them.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Disciplines==<br />
Technologies are spread over 4 different Disciplines:<br />

</Box> --><br />
<br />
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ComputerResearchAndDevelopment"/> Use your nearest R&D console to take note of which kind of research is locked behind each Discipline tree.<br />
<br />
==Tiers==<br />
Each Discipline tree has up to 3 tiers of technologies. At the start the only tier that is open and available for you is tier 1.<br />
<br />
In order to progress further, you have to research up to [[75%]] of the current tier to move to the next one. So in order to unlock T2 researches you need to research 75% of T1.<br />
<br />
Now [[Tier 3]] is where it gets interesting. If you research a T3 tech, you [[lock out]] T3 techs from other Discipline trees. That is, unless... you find some other way around it, probably should ask your [[Research Director]].<br />
<br />
==Lathes==<br />

At a lathe, you can choose a server to allow it print whatever recipes you have unlocked. Recipes require various materials (steel, glass, plastic, gold, plasma) which can be acquired at Cargo or Salvage.</div>DeeZeePeeZee8
