Item Name
Also like the original UGO, this mod is not compatible with Frackin' Universe! Creating a new universe is not necessary for this mod to take effect, however any systems previously seen on the navigation panel and any universe chunks previously generated will not be affected by this mod.
Type
Item Rarity
Research is a currency introduced in Update 5.5.0.
It replaces: Nutrient Paste, Tissue Culture, Raw Minerals, Genetic Material, DNA Samples and Mineral Samples.
It is intended to have more use and reduce inventory clutter. It is used in the same manner as the items it replaced and is also currently used to upgrade Mining Lasers at the Mining Bench.
You can check on your current supply of Research by shift-clicking on your Tech Tablet, where it is displayed on the upper-left hand side in addition to Pixels, Ancient Essence, and Madness.
Large amounts of Research can be generated by throwing things into your extractor. Spare blocks are a prime candidate, but so is excess food, seed, and other items.
You can also use personal computers, which generate research.
Research can also be stored in tradeable, stackable discs:
Research Microdisc (500), Research Holodisc (1000), and Research Megadisc (5000)
