	~~In Apocalypse scientific~~ research ~~by X-COM falls into~~ two specialized categories, [[Biochemistry]] and [[Quantum Physics (Apocalypse)\|Quantum Physics]]. ~~Essentially what this means~~ is ~~that it will be necessary to have 2 different streams of scientists~~ and ~~laboratories~~.		==Knowledge==
			Scientific research of unknown exotic technology is possible via two specialized categories, [[Biochemistry]] and [[Quantum Physics (Apocalypse)\|Quantum Physics]].
			* Biochemistry deals with things alive and dead.
			<!--
			I KNOW that bio deals with other stuff, that line is a intro text!
			-->
			* Quantum Physics deals with hairy weapons and mushroom-like crafts.

	~~The original base will contain 5 Biochemistry~~ and ~~5 Quantum Physics~~ scientists, together with a [[Biochemistry Lab (Apocalypse)\|Biochemistry Lab]] and a [[Quantum Physics Lab (Apocalypse)\|Quantum Physics Lab ]]. Each scientist has a skill level that can vary from 60 to 100 skill and can be assigned to ~~any lab that they specialise in~~.		===Research===
			Knowledge is learnt by technical personel studying within their relevant science laboratory. Expanding the quantity of laboratories and increasing the quantity of scientists will allow X-Com to research more complicated exotics.

	~~Each research facility can~~ be ~~assigned~~ to ~~any project available~~. ~~It is possible to transfer research projects over laboratories at different bases but it is not possible for 2 laboratories to work on~~ the ~~same project at~~ the ~~same time. When a laboratory has a project assigned it~~ the ~~total value of~~ the ~~scientists skill assigned~~ to ~~it will contribute towards reaching its total 'research cost' every hours~~.		===Skill===
			Technical personel may be hired with an education level of average to gifted. The better the skill of a scientist, the faster the research will complete, and with the acquired knowledge, those exotic things can be used earlier or lead to something better.
			* minimum skill = 60
			* maximum skill = 100<br>

	~~Research cost is the "skill hours" required~~ to ~~complete a~~ project. ~~If a~~ laboratory ~~has 5 scientists assigned,~~ with ~~a total of 400 skill hours per hour, that means that a research topic that takes 8000 will likely be complete in 20 hours when you put 5 scientists~~ to work on ~~it (20580=8000)~~.		===Facilities===
			A science facility in any base can be assigned to any project available relevant to their discipline, but some projects require an exotic item to be recovered which can only commence in the base which contains the object or lifeform. Projects which have been started in one base may be swapped to another base but only one laboratory can proceed with study. It is not possible for two laboratories to work on the same project.

	==~~The~~ Technology ~~Race~~==		==Technology Level==
			* If X-Com is managing in holding back the invasion of Mega-Primus, the aliens will [[Tech_Levels_(Apocalypse)\|develop better things]] to advance their agenda.

	~~Research should initially be focused into developing~~ the ~~advanced~~ [[~~Advanced Biochemistry Lab~~ (Apocalypse)\|~~Biochemistry Lab~~]] and [[~~Advanced Quantum Physics Lab~~ (Apocalypse)\|~~Quantum Physics~~]] ~~labs in order to allow research on more complicated topics,~~ and ~~double~~ the ~~number of personnel that can be assigned~~ to them.		===Technology Race===
			Suggested sequence:
			* Acquire the knowledge to construct [[Facilities_(Apocalypse)\|larger laboratories]].
			* Learn about the lifeforms to make [[Biological_Warfare_(Apocalypse)\|biological weapons]].
			* Understand their [[Alien_Artifacts_(Apocalypse)\|weaponry and equipment]].
			* Learn about their [[Alien_Craft_(Apocalypse)\|UFOs]].
			* Design and build new and [[Vehicles_(Apocalypse)\|advanced craft]].
			* Take the battle to [[Alien_Dimension_(Apocalypse)their world]].
			* Kill them.

	~~[[Biochemistry]] research will benefit X~~-~~COM in [[Battlescape Overview\|tactical]] fighting (due~~ to ~~[[Biological Warfare (Apocalypse)\|Biological Warfare]] and later [[Alien Gas (Apocalypse)\|Alien Gas]])~~. ~~When the focus moves onto attacking the aliens in their home dimension~~, ~~it will allow research on weaknesses~~ of ~~each alien building.~~		<!--
			==Internal Calculations==
	~~Quantum Physics will produce results regarding new technologies~~ that ~~will benefit both [[Cityscape Fighting (Apocalypse)\|Cityscape Fighting]] and Battlescape combat. It will eventually generate new ships~~ that ~~will allow X-COM to cross into the alien dimension.~~		Research cost is the "skill hours" required to complete a project. If a laboratory has 5 scientists assigned, with a total of 400 skill hours per hour, that means that a research topic that takes 8000 will likely be complete in 20 hours when you put 5 scientists to work on it 8000 ÷ 400 = 20hrs
			-->
	~~As X-COM captures alien artefacts it will be~~ a ~~key priority to~~ research ~~them in order to~~ be able to upgrade its vehicles and agents weapons and equipment. This is due to the aliens levels of conflict escalation, through which they will increase their destructive abilities and threaten to outgun X-COM. The rate at which the aliens will update their technology is in ~~direct response~~ to ~~X-COM's overall [[Alien Tech Levels (Apocalypse) \| performance]].~~


	~~It will also be necessary to deploy [[Advanced Workshop (Apocalypse)\|upgraded]] workshops to be able to produce the sufficient number of craft, weapons and equipment necessary to re~~-~~equip X~~-~~COM's forces as the technology race continues.~~

	~~X-COM will win the technology race by being able to keep pace with the increases on alien abilities in order to defeat them.~~

	~~==Toxigun Rush==~~

	~~The goal is to get the Advanced Biochemistry Lab as soon as possible, as all required remaining research can be fully researched during its construction time of 8 days.~~

	~~1. Bio-Transport Module -> '''Build and equip on a craft'''~~

	~~2. Brainsucker (lowest research time)~~

	~~3. Advanced Biochemistry Lab~~

	~~4. Place down Adv. Bio. Lab for construction (8 days)~~

	~~5. Multiworm Egg Autopsy, Multiworm Autopsy, Hyperworm Autopsy (any order)~~

	~~6. The Alien Genetic Structure~~

	~~7. Biological Warfare -> '''Can build Toxiguns and Toxin Type A'''~~

	~~8. Brainsucker Pod, Brainsucker Autopsy, Multiworm Egg, Multiworm, Hyperworm, Chrysalis, Chrysalis Autopsy (any order)~~

	~~9. The Alien Life Cycle -> '''Can manufacture Toxin Type B'''~~


	To cut down research time one can build 1 or 2 more additional Biochemistry Labs right after starting a new game, regardless of the skill level of the hired Biochemists. Having several autopsies and live alien research going on at the same time will heavily cut down on the total time needed to get Toxiguns ready to be manufactured as well as access to Toxin Type B.

	~~This also means that you can research one of the bigger topics while continuing the live/dead alien research.~~
