Research is the primary method of enhancing the efficiency of colonists and objects. Some constructions and furniture pieces have to be unlocked trough research before thay can be built. Once a research table and goal are built and set, a designated colonist will begin gathering Research points, the rate at which points are awarded depends on the colonists skill.
