Question on Research labs

February 7, 2008 2:40:41 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Does the number of labs matter other than the threshold number for a Tech? Does say 10 labs of a type get you faster research than say 6 or 5? I ask because I played one game where every planet had 1 of each lab and another where I had allot less labs and it seemed it went the same speed.

But it doesn't anymore - right now more labs past the max 8 is just insurance in case any of them get blowed up

If you build a bunch of labs and then learn the tech and then destroy those labs do you still have the learned technology?

Technology yes, but you can't build units/buildings/operate superweapons if you fall below the # of labs needed to have researched them.

Abilities/stats upgrades remain in effect, though.

Remind me if I'm wrong, but isn't back in Beta Military and Empire have 2 seperates queue so you can research two projects simutantouslym one for Military and one for Empire.

But right now you can only have 1 research going on at a given time, kinda odd given we have two seperate labs. Can Stardock confirm this is intentional or a bug?

The beta never had separate research It's intentional, and there were many questions about it so it's unlikely to be changed.

I have only been playing the game a couple of days and have only played as the Advent, but my understanding is that the number of labs you maintain only relates to the techs that require a greater number of labs to initiate research. I have found, in playing the Advent, that they have an early tech you can research which decreases the amount of time needed to research all other techs. I'm not sure if the other factions have anything similar or if this is a faction related bonus for the Advent.

Is there a way we could mod it so more labs = more research speed or is that a hard coded thing? Since there are techs and artifacts that do speed it up I would think it would be possible.

En9a9e: I have only seen that in advent.

I know trade revenue goes up with additional trade centers and that cultural influence goes up with additional broadcast centers. I am not sure about refineries

I believe multiple Broadcast Centers around one planet will produce more culture. Not sure about the Trade Centers and Refineries.
