Scientist

Doing scientific research is a job that can be assigned to colonists. Scientists will use various materials to study and do research, which enables progression into more powerful weapons and upgrades. The scientist does not have any crafts and can only be used to perform scientific research.

Basic science will require raw materials to research, the more advanced science later on is based on so called science bags, which are basically a collection of materials and produced by the Technologist Job. The five types of science bag are basic research, life research, colony research, military research and advanced research. Scientists must be near a crate so that they can access the stockpile.

Colony and player related sciences also have a Colonist requirement. Science shows a list of all available research.

Scientists wear white clothing.
