Once a project has been selected in the [[Research]] tab, [[colonist]]s assigned to [[Work#Research|Research work type]] will work at a simple research bench to complete the project. Multiple researchers can contribute toward a project at the same time, so long as sufficient research benches are available, and benches can be freely swapped between researchers. Simple research benches are incapable of researching projects beyond [[Research#Microelectronics|Microelectronics]]. | Once a project has been selected in the [[Research]] tab, [[colonist]]s assigned to [[Work#Research|Research work type]] will work at a simple research bench to complete the project.

The simple research bench should be one of the first things to be set up in a new base, after building rooms, beds, storage, and, possibly, a freezer. Multiple research benches can be used concurrently; as soon as you have the manpower to spare, you may want to have 2 researchers operating at once. If resources are limited, placing half of the available researchers on a [[Schedule|night shift]] allows them to share benches. | The simple research bench should be one of the first things to be set up in a new base, after building rooms, beds, storage, and, possibly, a freezer.

If resources are tight but several researchers are available, simple research benches can be retained in order to research less complex technologies. Simple and hi-tech research benches may be used together, though pawns will automatically abandon any simple benches when hi-tech is required. | If resources are tight but several researchers are available, simple research benches can be retained in order to research less complex technologies.
