Research
Research is one of the systems in Unnamed Space Idle. Here players can select different rewards to develop and focus on, granting different permanent bonuses and effects. These rewards are split into different branches, with each branch having it's own research income. This article shows the full rewards granted on successful completion, however you will continuously gain more and more of the full effect as you fill up the bar. Research is gained by destroying enemy ships, except those spawned by other enemies.
Normal research is unlocked by reaching sector 7.
Normal Research[edit | edit source]
There are three branches of normal research: Material, Energy, and Observational. Each sector has different density values for these different branches, which determine how much research the selected reward in each branch will get on enemy kills (excluding any bonuses and multipliers). Additionally, one of the three branches can be focused at any time, granting it an extra multiplier(default to 9x research gain). Focusing on one branch does not decrease the research gain of the other two branches!

Unbound Research[edit | edit source]
After the last reward was completed for all three branches of normal research, the player unlocks two unbound research options, which scale forever. Only one of these can be selected per branch.
Unbound Material Research
Unbound Salvage Gain 1.00e22
Unbound Salvage Gain Scales Forever 1.8x for every order of magnitude above 1e22
Unbound Synth Speed 1.00e24
Unbound Synth Speed Scales Forever 1.2x for every order of magnitude above 1e24
Unbound Energy Research
Unbound VP Max 1.00e22
Unbound VP Max Scales Forever 2.0x for every order of magnitude above 1e22
Unbound VP Generation 1.00e24
Unbound VP Generation Scales Forever 1.8x for every order of magnitude above 1e24
Unbound Observational Research
Unbound Shard Drop Rate 1.00e22
Unbound Shard Drop Rate Scales Forever 1.25x for every order of magnitude above 1e22
Unbound Research Gain 1.00e24
Unbound Research Gain Scales Forever 1.2x for every order of magnitude above 1e24
This effect is multiplicative with itself and it's important to push the maximum in all 6 unbound research options as high as possible every now and then.
Capital Research[edit | edit source]
Capital research is unlocked by reinforcing once, reaching sector 74, then getting the "Capital Research" upgrade from base 5. There are two branches of capital research: Applied and Fundamental. Capital research can only progress if a data core is assigned to one of it's branches, which can be obtained from killing capital bosses. More data cores increase capital research gain with the formula cores^2(cores^3 if you have the Data Core Mastery). Normal research bonus applies to capital but is log'd and the focus does not apply. Sector density has no effect except that capital research only progresses in sector 75 and above.

Normal Research Mastered[edit | edit source]
After reinforcing 4 times, unlocking Capital Research from Base 5 and when in a Capital Ship, sector density will disappear, MEO Unbound researches will automatically max out and cannot be improved further, giving these values:
- Salvage Gain x2.50e31
- Synth Speed x3.95e9
- Max Void Power x6.00e37
- Void Power Generation x4.00e31
- Shard Drop Rate x8.60e12
- Bonus to Research x7.90e30
These values are the about the same as 1e145 research and will greatly improve your progression speed for several sectors.
Specimen Research[edit | edit source]
Specimen research is unlocked by reinforcing 4 times, then reaching sector 92. There are five branches of specimen research: Zephyrion, Yttaldar, Xyloquant, Wraithtex, and Verdanix. After unlocking specimen research, veiled enemimes will drop specimens, the type of which depending on sector. All research for that specific type of specimen will make progress at the same time and they can all be leveled repeatedly. Specimen research gain is multiplied by the specimen amount. Data core bonuses apply to specimen research with the same formula as capital research, and material, energy, and observational research bonuses apply at a reduced rate.
All specimen researches are self-multiplicative except for Speed Tech, Rank Tech, and Deep Scan Tech, which are self-additive.
