The blackboard is a furniture item added by the Biotech DLC that improves the rate a child learns at a school desk.

Acquisition[edit]

Blackboards can be constructed once the complex furniture research project has been completed. Each requires 15 Stuff (Woody/Stony) and 1,000 ticks (16.67 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material.

Summary[edit]

When connected to a school desk, each blackboard increases a student's Learning rate from Lesson Learning by 20%. This effect can stack up to three times per desk. A blackboard can connect to multiple desks. It does not matter which way the blackboard is facing.

It is unknown if blackboards increase skill XP gain from learning with an adult.^[Verify]

Analysis[edit]

Blackboards are technically unnecessary. Children can still reach growth tier 8 without blackboards attached to their school desk. Blackboards will make up for extended periods of non-Learning, such as when resting from disease. And, because they are so cheap, you might as well build them.

 == Analysis ==
-If you have a [[comms console]] and a means of going outside, then blackboards are technically unnecessary. Children can easily reach growth tier 8 with just a school desk, so long as the other learning types are available. However, these buildings still increase average growth points. Therefore, blackboards will make up for extended periods of non-Learning, such as when resting from [[disease]].

-Ironically, blackboards can actually ''lower'' a child's skill growth. While lesson learning with an adult, children will gain skill XP at a constant rate, unaffected by blackboards. But when a children reaches 100% learning, they will stop learning entirely. Blackboards speed up learning, which decreases the time spent lesson learning, which reduces skill gain.
