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 [color=#a4885c]technologies[/color].
|
|
|
|
Each technology costs [color=#a4885c]Research Points[/color] and unlocks recipes at lathes. Some technologies will also have prerequisites you have to unlock before you can research them.

## Disciplines
|
|
Technologies are spread over 4 different Disciplines:

|

<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="WeaponTetherGun" Caption="Experimental"/>
|

<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="WeaponXrayCannon" Caption="Arsenal"/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ComputerResearchAndDevelopment"/> Use your nearest R&D console to take note of which kind of research is locked behind each Discipline tree.
|
|
|
|
## Tiers
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
In order to progress further, you have to research [color=brown]all[/color] of the current tier to move to the next one. So in order to unlock T2 researches you need to research the entirety of T1.

## Lathes

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 Logistics or Salvage.
