ways to get instant research?

[Jet]

Not sure if there was a mod or an inspiration but does a way exist to complete a research project immediately? Maybe an old version of rimworld? I think techprints work in a similar way but not too sure

Techprints just unlock the research but you still have to research it. The item that instantly completes a research is "techprof subpersona core".

NICE! ty thats what i was looking for. Any idea where I can get one? is it fully random

what do you need it for?

You can also open the dev console and just give yourself all research lol

It's a rare quest reward and I'd say not a very sought after one in comparison to the other rare ones. Using a mod or dev mode will likely work better if you want to test something.

because i have this thing where i like using those on long research projects so much so that i dont research them intentionally just so i can use it on that. i intentionally handicap myself. Weird i know but I dont like rushing throuigh research otherwise.

The problem is that is pretty easy to have a super high level researcher later in the game when those rewards are to be expected and if you are not playing tribal, most researches are done super quickly at that point.

Maybe you can try to safe the ship research ones and force yourself to research the more critical ones without waiting for those rare rewards. I am not super sure how rare they are, since me never taking them likely makes me remember it wrong, but you can probably go a year in late game without seeing them as a possible quest reward choice.

That said, it's still really nice to get an early techprof and use it to instantly grab one of the expensive, important core techs, like microelectronics, or if you're tribal just suddenly get electricity.
