R&D Techweb Progression and Priorities

[angelstarri]

What techwebs do you prefer to prioritize over others as a Scientist?

I like to prioritize Advanced Mining Technology to get it on or under twelve minutes, hoping to make miners return with early ores for better tools rather than the opposite. Here is my research order along with time to research, individual and cumulative costs, assuming that no one has touched the R&D console to do research one over the other (like those nanite loving fucks).

0:00 Industrial Engineering: 7500 | 7500
0:01 Data Theory: 2500 | 10000
0:02 Electromagnetic Theory: 2500 | 12500 | ! UPGRADE WITH T2 PARTS WHILE WAITING FOR POINTS

0:04 High Efficiency Parts: 7500 | 20000
0:05 Advanced Engineering: 2500 | 22500
0:06 Basic Plasma Research: 2500 | 25000
0:07 Mining Technology: 2500 | 27500
0:08 Advanced Power Manipulation: 2500 | 30000
0:09 Advanced Plasma Research: 2500 | 32500
0:10 Advanced Mining Technology: 2500 | 35000 | ! TELL MINERS TO COME BACK WHEN RESEARCHED
0:11 Basic Bluespace Theory: 2500 | 37500
0:13 Applied Bluespace Theory: 5000 | 40000 | ! UPGRADE WITH T3 PARTS WHILE WAITING FOR POINTS

0:17 Advanced Bluespace Theory: 15000 | 55000
0:18 Bluespace Power Technology: 2500 | 57500
0:19 Advanced Electromagnetic Theory: 3000 | 60500
0:20 Quantum Electromagnetic Technology: 3000 | 63500 | ! UPGRADE WITH T4 PARTS

From here on out I adapt to what the station needs and people ask for. I'll usually go for Experimental Tools, Advanced Sanitation Technology, Biotech and Advanced Biotech, Robotics, then Weapon Research and so on.

Beyond it being useful to research advanced mining for more mats its just a dick move not to.

After that its just rush bluespace and beyond that quantum and follow requests.

Honestly its not a job at this point just get the initial stuff, make good bombs, then research the rest at once.
