Research station

The Research Station is used together with the Quantum computer to progress further in the game. It is first required in UV-tier to research the Assembly Line-Datastick for the UHV-Mainframe. As they are used together this page will go into detail about both. As both are TecTech multiblocks they come with all the benefits like support for Laser-Hatches and the energy passthrough option.

Construction
For general construction refer to the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector. The Research Station has a static size, just follow the blueprint and add a Maintenance Hatch, an Optical Slave Connector and an appropiate Energy Hatch.

The Optical Connectors need to be connected with Optical Fiber Cables, both the connectors and cables need to be colored in the same color to work. The picture below shows an example for a complete setup with two Quantum Computers.



Setup and Usage
After the Research Station is connected with the Quantum Computer it will receive computation (Remember to turn on your Quantum Computer before using the Research Station). Look at the NEI recipe for the item you want to research to know the required compuation you need for you research. You will also see how much power is needed at which minimum voltage. The shown total EU-cost is the maximum that the research would consume at minimum research input. If you happen to have a higher computation you can save EU as the recipe will finish earlier.

To actually start the research insert an empty Data Stick into the controller interface and place the item you want to research into the Object Holder (Note that the item is not consumed until the Data Stick is written).
