Research Station

Services and production

This station buys inputs and upkeep goods for its facilities and sells what its production lines make. Stock and prices change as goods are produced, consumed and traded.

Installed modules

Location

Dedicated production

Each assigned module runs its selected recipe using shared station stock. Research unlocks, power, input shortages, storage and the game production time scale still apply. Foundry hourly figures are nominal base capacities.

Implementation status

Compiled for the local development campaign from the approved Foundry proposal. This is not a merged game release. Existing saved stations retain their stored modules, stock and work. PIE verified sector loading, docking and repeated save restoration at Wafer & Chip Works. Layouts across all stations still need visual review; fleet estimates are not measured throughput.

Inbound supply connections

Reachable producers and real collection fields in the local development campaign. Rates are nominal game requirements including the production time scale, farm ice and upkeep. Alternative sources share the same demand; their rows do not promise delivery capacity. Local factory buffers retain at most half of physical storage so shared intermediates can be exported.
