Simple research benches are incapable of researching certain advanced technologies. Getting further along on the research tree requires using a [[hi-tech research bench]], which is unlocked by researching "Microelectronics Basics." These take up more space, cost more to build, and require electricity to run, but generate research significantly faster. Most colonies will eventually need to replace their simple benches with hi-tech ones to win.

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.

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. 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.
