Studies run on ticks. They give Research Points (RP).
Research Center parts: Bio-Scientists, Equipment, Quantum Tech, and a timed catalogue.
The historical Research Center reference says completed research bonuses survive ordinary Loop Resets. Current-build validity is UNSURE; this does not establish Traversal retention. Scientists and studies need rebuilding.
A common stage slowdown sits around 1e50 to 1e65 MP in community guides. Accumulative growth mods (like Fenix) are the escape.
A research that raises install caps appears around 1e500 RP. After it, you can specialize installs much harder.
Pick research by what it unlocks and when. A smaller bonus that finishes before your next reset can beat a bigger one that takes days.
Do not reset a mature study run for a weak MP gain.
Single source: the .64 repost reports fixes to extra-study modifiers and Research 91 retention at levels 5 and 6. Old rate and retention screenshots may be misleading. See CIFI: version and patch notes.
