What is the Research Center? đź’ˇ

The Research Center becomes available once your Furnace hits level 9.

Think of it as your hub for technological advancement. This is where you’ll invest resources to improve resource production, combat effectiveness, and overall settlement growth. Basically, it’s how you make your colony stronger!
For example, researching “Meat Output” directly boosts the amount of Meat your Hunter’s Hut produces. Similarly, Coal, Wood, and Iron all have dedicated research paths. Therefore, choose wisely!
To conduct research, you will need Wood, Meat, Coal, Iron, and Steel. Keep in mind that higher research levels demand more resources and time. So, plan your upgrades strategically!

How the Research Center Works ❄️

Upgrading your Research Center unlocks new research levels and speeds up the research process. The Research Center is divided into three key tabs: Growth, Economy, and Battle. Each focuses on enhancing different aspects of your gameplay.

  • Growth: This section boosts overall game progress. For instance, “Ward Expansion” increases Infirmary Capacity. Alternatively, “Camp Expansion” boosts troop training capacity in Military Buildings. Finally, “Tool Enhancement” speeds up research within the Research Center itself.
  • Economy: In this section, you’ll find upgrades that increase resource output from your buildings. These upgrades provide a steady flow of resources for various upgrades.
  • Battle: Want to dominate in combat? This section has upgrades for troop classes like Infantry, Marksman, and Lancer. Improving these will make your troops more formidable.
