RG4's simple and efficient guide to getting high research levels without being a retard!
This is mostly for Research Directors who find it hard to get RD levels or otherwise idiots.
Step 1: Starting out
Getting 3 syringe guns, depending on who you are you might not need these but 3 of these from robotics with get you up to materials 4 in almost an instant, same with EM,Biology, and Data Theory. The latter 3 will be level 5 when you're done.
Step 2: The easy way
Use the intellicard in your research office to get you to materials 5, now you're can really start cooking! Start getting to engineering up to 3, this can be achieved with any tool in a tool box then deconning a welding gas mask. Then you'll be able to a Rapid Parts Exchanger, this will make upgrading any machine infinately easy. One thing also helps as well, make a flame thrower and get a piece of plasma from Xeno-Biology, this gives you plasma 3.
Step 3: Upgrading and you
Craft 3 Super Matter Bins(SMBs),4 Pico manipulators,1 High-Powered Micro Laser, and an Advanced Scanning Module. After making these get them all in the parts exchange device and upgrade your machines. This is VERY IMPORTANT, as it cuts down on material usage and will save you heaches in the future, along with upgrading the Deconnstructive Analyzer you'll increase your chances at RDing items.
Step 4: SMES your way to power!
Now once your machines are upgraded begin to craft Exo-Suit Fabricator and SMES boards and decon those. These boards shoot your engineering and power manipulation levels up to at least 6 and will also boost the chances of deconning a Pico or SMB. Now once you did that decon a Pico or SMB these will give you Materials 6!
Step 5: Hey look at that, Materials 7!
So now you got Material 6, Power 6,Engineering 6,Biology 5,Data 5,Plasma 3,Blue pace 1 or 2, and Illegal 1. With plasma at 3 start making a Portable Chem Dispenser as it saves you from going to Chemistry when you need acid. Now you want Materials 7, and Mining is shit or dead! Say no more, just head on over to the AI upload chamber and get the AI to give you the high risk boards like, Oxygenistoxictohumans,Purge, and Onehuman, these will decon materials 6 but give you 7 without the need of mining!
Step 6: Bluespace and You
Bluespace typically is never RD as much due the lack of items to actually give BS levels aside from telepad boards, but who cares let upgrade the fucker anyway! What you wanna do is get the Teleporter board in your office and decon that, then head to the teleporter room (where the hand tele is located) and disassemble the teleporter. You'll get blue space crystals and a teleporter station board. Decon 1 of the crystals and the station board, with that you'll be able to make more in the circut imprinter and get that fucker up to 5 or 6!
Step 7: Combat!
This one is by far the most easiest to level up provided you followed Step 1. What you're going to want to do is decon the toolbox or if you already haven't a flame thrower for Combat 1 and Plasma 1. You'll be at Combat 2 and have the ability to make DURAND and GYGAX weapon boards in the circuit imprinters, make around 3 and after you decon them you should be at level 5! With level 5 comes things like Advanced E-Guns,Laser cannons, SMGs and Ion rifles. Decon things like combat shotguns to get X-Ray rifles!
Conclusion:
And there you have it a very efficient and otherwise simple guide to doing research without the need of mining or wasting precious minerals you need to build your own stompy mechs. This should actually help out anyone new to RD or people who don't know how to do RD as fast!
