Summary[]

Construction Research Station is a base-building research terminal at the Space Anomaly unlocking base-building parts in exchange for Salvaged Data. It is organised as a number of screens containing related base-building parts. Each screen is represented as a tree where lower levels parts can only be unlocked after a higher-level part was researched.

The following research trees are available:

Agricultural Modules
Aquatic Construction
Posters
Decal Designs
Decorative Modules (5 trees)
Illumination
Industrial Modules
Large Prefabs
Primitive Shapes
Small Prefabs
Technology Modules
Transport Modules
Timber Structures and Roofing
Stone Structures and Roofing
Alloy Structures and Roofing

Differences from NEXT[]

Construction Research Station provides access to many technologies that in NEXT were only available from Overseer, Scientist, Farmer and Technician, but requires a large number of Salvaged Data to fully unlock all trees.

Additional information[]

It takes approximately 1000 Salvaged Data to unlock everything available.
