Research Assembler

Automatically manufactures experimental research pods from metal plates and PCBs. This should then be connected directly to your Laboratory to provide automated research.
It's recommended to automate production of these via filters for efficient production, due to their time-consuming nature.

The research station provides the facilities needed to understand more about this planet; its minerals, fauna and flora. It allows you to process the information recorded by your scanning tool as well as research the new technologies to help you survive. Many of the more advanced research topics are beyond the capabilities of the research station and require assisance from a laboratory.

To use the research station face is and press your interact key (default 'E'). This will open the research terminal which contains three tabs for processing scans, recipes and projects.

Processing Scans

Your suit comes equipped with a scanning tool (default 'M'), the secondary action on this tool allows you to scan an unknown material in the world. The tool will also automatically scan any unknown material absorbed by your build tool. This information is uplinked to the research station.

The first tab in the research station lists any remaining unknown materials and allows you to process these scans to learn more about them. Processing the scan will cost power and grants the number of research points shown which can be used to research additional recipes or projects.
