Research is a fundamental part of The Last Starship. This gives players the ability to craft objects in mainly Assembly Tables with blueprints being researched. It also may give buffs to certain objects.

Points[edit | edit source]

There are two types of points, Research Points (RP) and Computation Points (CP). Research Points are accumulated through the Science Station whereas Computation Points are generated by Supercomputers.

Branches[edit | edit source]

Fluid Logistics[edit | edit source]

Researches blueprints for Tanks.

  • Level 1: Unlocks schematic for Small Tank (Cost 1 RP)
  • Level 2: Unlocks schematic for Medium Tank (Cost 1 RP)
  • Level 3: Unlocks schematic for Huge Tank (Cost 2 RP)

Energy Transmission[edit | edit source]

Required for Phase 3 onwards of the Stargate Project.

Metallurgy[edit | edit source]

Increases the output of Smelters.

  • Level 1: Smelters produce 20% more output (Cost 1 RP)
  • Level 2: Smelters produce 40% more output (Cost 3 RP)

Factory Automation[edit | edit source]

Introduces Tracks and Robot Arms.

Compact Automation[edit | edit source]

Sub-branch of Factory Automation.

Smart Automation[edit | edit source]

Sub-branch of Factory Automation.
