Construction Research Station is a research terminal at the Space Anomaly.
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, although many of the functional (non-decorative) recipes are unlocked for free by hiring the Overseer (NPC) and completing their (and the other Specialists') quests, which can reduce the required Data total greatly.
