A hi-tech research bench is a Production bench at which your colonists can research new technology.
It is the more advanced version of the simple research bench, providing faster research speeds and allowing access to more advanced technologies. It is also the only bench that can be linked to the Multi-analyzer.
Acquisition
Hi-tech research benches can be constructed once the Microelectronics research project has been completed. They require 150 Stuff (Metallic, 1500 for SMVs),
100 Steel,
10 Components, 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 6.
Summary
Once you've selected a project in the Research tab, your research-capable colonists will operate the bench when not otherwise occupied. Multiple researchers can contribute toward a project at the same time, so long as sufficient research benches are available and/or day/night shifts are used.
Building research benches outdoors imposes a x0.75 penalty to research speed. Indoors, the cleanliness of the room the bench is in comes into play, granting modifiers ranging from x0.75 for very dirty rooms to x1.09 for sterile, which requires a room covered in sterile tiles.
Hi-tech research benches have a Research Speed Factor of 100%, compared to the simple research benches' 75%, meaning that projects are completed 33% faster on the hi-tech bench. Furthermore, some research projects require a hi-tech research bench in order to be researched at all. They are also the only bench that can be linked to the Multi-analyzer, increasing the research speed by 10% and allowing access to research project that require the analyser.
Unlike the simple research bench, these cannot be un/reinstalled, only deconstructed.
Analysis
Hi-tech research benches can only be produced after researching Microelectronics and require power (250 W) and more space (2x5) and resources to construct than simple research benches.
Beyond that limitation, hi-tech research benches produce results significantly faster, and are capable of working on advanced projects simple benches can't touch. They can also benefit from the addition of a multi-analyzer, producing even faster results, so upgrading at least one bench as soon as possible is recommended.
Because research projects are long-term projects, it is strongly advised that you place high-quality dining chairs or (even better) armchairs at each bench to keep your researchers comfortable.
