	For standard duration rounds, it is unlikely that the science department will be able to research the entire Techweb. As such a science department might choose to focus on one type of technology ~~other~~ another. In Unitystation, technology is split into several categories:		For standard duration rounds, it is unlikely that the science department will be able to research the entire Techweb. As such a science department might choose to focus on one type of technology over another. In Unitystation, technology is split into several categories:

	Machinery [Mch] - Focusing on machine parts and circuit boards, Robotics [Rbt] - Focusing on cyborgs and synthetic implants, Chemistry [Chm] - Focusing on matter and chemical storage as well as other chemistry materials & Equipment [Eqp] - Focusing on gear and tools applicable across the station.		Machinery [Mch] - Focusing on machine parts and circuit boards,

			Robotics [Rbt] - Focusing on cyborgs and synthetic implants,

			Chemistry [Chm] - Focusing on matter and chemical storage as well as other chemistry materials

			Equipment [Eqp] - Focusing on gear and tools applicable across the station.

	The category a node belongs to is stated in its title in square brackets []. If a science department wishes to focus there efforts to a particular category, the research director, or anyone with research director access, may allocate a research focus in the Techweb UI. Allocating a focus costs 10 RP and ''can only be done once.'' Once a focus is selected, all technology in that category will receive a 25% discount.

	The Techweb is the technology tree that you are tasked to research. It is stored and accessed through the stations research server inside the science department. The Techweb contains a series of nodes, that when researched, unlock ''designs''.		The Techweb is the technology tree that you are tasked to research. It is stored and accessed through the stations research server inside the science department. The Techweb contains a series of nodes, that when researched, unlock ''designs''.

	Designs are products that can be produced within machines such as the Protolathe, Circuit Imprinter and Exosuit Fabricator. Designs have a material cost, a required machine type and may have a required department. Once a design is researched, it can be manufactured at any valid machine that is connected to the research server. If the machine is not connected to the research server (often indicated by red lights beside a 'connected to server' label in the machines UI) it can be connected via a multitool.

			== Tips & Tricks ==

			* Using your first 10RP each round to set a research focus can drastically speed up research time in future, don't forget it as part of the round start setup, '''especially''' if you are the stations research director.
			* Xenoarchaeology can yield large quantities of RP, upwards of 30RP per artifact, however, can only be conducted when the science department has an artifact. Conversely, Ordnance and The High Energy Lab require no outside materials to run but tend to have lower yields for time investment. Make the best use of all of them to maximise RP!
			* If your science department contains multiple scientists, split them up amongst each of the areas of research, more scientists researching the same thing doesn't always make it go quicker!
			* While you should be busy researching, don't neglect customer service! Make sure you are still supplying the station with your discoveries and listening to requests from peers.
