More science stations do research faster?
First game played built one science station but regulary saw research paused because science guy walked away from the station. Used two for rest of game.
Second game played started with two stations but saw research paused now and then so built three of each kind.
But why limit myself? Will 5 or 10 stations do research much faster? Only limiting factor is that the science guys also operate stuff in doctors office.

why do u recreate for that a thread?
Build another and test it.
Much faster than create an extre thread with no sense.... .

But short yes they do shorten - much more than u think.

Yes it even tells you as you build more that it goes faster, If you want it to pause less you can station your EG near and aura them, The Science EG aura basically pauses stat degen so super useful. You can also assign minions to only do science stuff that will make sure they do that first. Make sure you have enough scientist to if you only have like 10 they will be busy doing alot of other stuff like healing they also work alot of the stat boosting machines to.

I had about 20-25 of each tier by the end of the game 5 minimum research tables. Also you can power cycle the machines early game because they drain so much power, only turn them on when they are needed for that research.

Why bother answer if you consider it such an annoyance?

Thank you. Never thought to turn off the science stations that are not in use.

Then I have a suggestion for you. Do not read on the forums. You will not get sick of people using the forum like google. Problem solved.

Great solution. Stop doing something you enjoy because 1 small subset of people annoy you. Pretty sure youd never do anything with that logic

A better solution. People use google and commen sense before coming here. I personally think your post is fine (tho easily could have googled it). It has a bit of substance and isnt just asking a simple question. But there are many unnecessary questions asked that have been asked many times before or are clear they put 0 effort into finding a solution themselves

Or you know... learn basic forum etiquette and don't make duplicate threads, search for a solution before making a thread.

Okay are you a moderator or developer and are so sick of reading same posts on the same topic over and over again?

Yes. I always build 4 at a time. I didn't try to do more so as not to recruit many research assistants.

Just ignore the haters. They ignore Steams own description of this place.

Yeah. I think your biggest rooms are meant to be power, science, control. Science for fast research. Power to power it. Control to fund it. And unlock it.

Thanks.

No. It wouldn't have sadly.

Yes Multiple research stations of the "needed" kind shortens the research time ( if you have enough science minions to man those )
