A '''simple research bench''' is a Production bench at which your colonists can [[research]] new technology. Once you've selected a project in the Research tab, your research-capable colonists will operate the bench when not otherwise occupied. Multiple researchers can contribute toward a project at the same time, so long as sufficient research benches are available and/or double shifts. Simple research benches are incapable of researching certain advanced technologies. Getting further along on the research tree requires using a [[hi-tech research bench]]. It produces research at only 75% the rate of the high-tech research bench.

A simple research bench is a Production bench at which your colonists can research new technology. Once you've selected a project in the Research tab, your research-capable colonists will operate the bench when not otherwise occupied. Multiple researchers can contribute toward a project at the same time, so long as sufficient research benches are available and/or double shifts. Simple research benches are incapable of researching certain advanced technologies. Getting further along on the research tree requires using a hi-tech research bench. It produces research at only 75% the rate of the high-tech research bench.

Building research benches outdoors imposes a x0.75 penalty to research speed. Indoors, the cleanliness of the room the bench is in comes into play, granting modifiers ranging from x0.75 for very dirty rooms to x1.09 for sterile. You can reinstall them at convenience. Because research projects are such long-term projects, it is strongly advised you place dining chairs or armchairs at each bench to keep your researchers comfortable.

Acquisition

The simple research bench is built with 25 steel and 75 building material (750 for small volume objects such as silver or gold, arguably purely for vanity) such as wood, plasteel,or stone blocks. It should be one of the first things to be set up in a new base, after building beds, a cookhouse, storage, and, possibly, a freezer.

Analysis

Unless you are very short on components, construct a hi-tech research bench as soon as you finish the Microelectronics research. This is to rush the fabrication research, as components are an annoyance without the means to acquire new ones because of their high need throughout the colony.
