A '''hi-tech research bench''' is a Production bench at which your colonists can [[research]] new technology. 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 double shifts. | A '''hi-tech research bench''' is a Production bench at which your colonists can [[research]] new technology.

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 tile]]s).

A hi-tech research bench is a Production bench at which your colonists can research new technology. 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 double shifts.
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). Opposed to their simple research bench counterpart, these cannot be reinstalled. Because research projects are such long-term projects, it is strongly advised you place dining chairs or armchairs at each bench to keep your researchers comfortable.
Acquisition
It is built with 150 Stuff (Metallic, 1500 for SMVs), 100 Steel, 10 Components in 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) after the research Microelectronics has been completed.
Analysis
Hi-tech research benches can only be produced after researching Microelectronics and require more space and resources to construct than simple research benches, as well as electricity to operate. However, with a research rate of 100% instead of the simple benches' 75%, they 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. Most colonies will eventually need to replace their simple benches with hi-tech ones to win. There are two ways to win without a hi-tech research bench: the Journey offer and the Stellarch quest, both of which are exceedingly hard without good technology.
