== In General ==
== In General ==


The '''Research Lab''' houses the research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen.
The speed to research each technology is defined by:
<div style="max-width: 1400px;">
Research Time (in hours) = [Tech Time * 432 * (1 - Credit Bonus)] / [(50 + Scientists) * (1.35 ^ Number of Labs) * (1.1 ^ Number of Lab Adjacencies)]
</div>


Options:
Credit Bonus is 0.2 for any credit (0.5 with the Ready for War Starting Bonus). Credit Bonuses stack multiplicatively.


*'''Start New Research Project'''.
Tech Times can be found under Research Projects below.
*'''Change Research Project'''. If necessary, this can be done at any time. The progress achieved in the current project won't be lost.
*'''Access Research Archives'''. Here you can see information about projects that have already been completed.
*'''Review Research Credits'''. View the research credits gained from completed interrogations.
*'''Visit the Gene Lab'''. This option becomes available after the construction of a Genetics Lab. A maximum of three soldiers can be sent to genetic modification. See [[Genetics Lab (Long War)]].


==Research Speed==
== Research Projects ==
The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.
===Offensive Tech===
* Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.
These research projects study the potential uses of Alloys, Elerium and Weapon Fragments, unlocking more advanced handheld and aircraft weapons.
* Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 60 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.
* Each [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 20%.
* Each adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 10%.
* Interrogations provide research credits, which lower the research time of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.
* Expertise (Brazil's starting bonus) increases research credit bonuses by 15% (multiplicatively) for a total of 36% research time reduction.
* <b>FORMULA:</b> <i>finalTime = baseTime * (30 / (scientists * labBonus)) * creditBonus * brazilExpertiseBonus</i>, with creditBonus = 0.75, brazilExpertiseBonus = 0.85


==Alien Autopsies==
{| class="wikitable"
Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.

In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related Council requests.
===Defensive Tech===
These research projects study the potential uses of Alloys, Elerium and Weapon Fragments, unlocking more advanced Body Armor, MEC Suits and SHIVs.

==Alien Interrogations==
===Alien Interrogations===
Alien captives that have been captured with a [[Weapons (LWR)#Arc and Stun Rifles|Stun Rifle]] and housed in the Alien Containment can be interrogated once the autopsy project for that species has been completed.
Alien captives that have been captured with a Stun Rifle and housed in the Alien Containment can be interrogated for unlocking research projects and granting research credits.


All interrogations unlock research credits, which increase the research speed of all future research and Foundry projects that match the credit type by 50%. Some interrogations also unlock gene mods, or other vital technologies. Overall, interrogations are much more essential than in Long War 1.0.
All interrogations unlock certain research credits, which increases the research speed of all future research projects and Foundry projects that match the credit type.

==Xenology==
These research projects study the aliens in a more general approach than specific autopsies and interrogations, unlocking Psionic Powers, Genetic Modifications and Cybernetic Augmentations.
Most of these research projects are required for the various Autopsy projects, as well as Stealth Systems, Mind and Machine and Plasma Weapons. These research projects also advance the storyline.

==Plasma Weapons==
More information on Gene Mods can be found here: '''[[Gene_Mods_(LWR)|Gene Mods]]'''
When aliens die, the weapons they wield self-destruct. When aliens are captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Utility devices|Arc Thrower]], their weapons remain intact, allowing then to be studied and retrofitted for human use.

In General

The speed to research each technology is defined by: 

Research Time (in hours) = [Tech Time * 432 * (1 - Credit Bonus)] / [(50 + Scientists) * (1.35 ^ Number of Labs) * (1.1 ^ Number of Lab Adjacencies)]

Credit Bonus is 0.2 for any credit (0.5 with the Ready for War Starting Bonus). Credit Bonuses stack multiplicatively.

Tech Times can be found under Research Projects below.

UFO Analysis

Once a UFO has crashed or landed and then is successfully assaulted, it can be analyzed as a research project. Once the research project has completed, interceptors gain 30% increased fire rate against all UFOs of the same size. Also, once UFO Scanners Foundry project is completed, analyzed UFO's display damage during Air Combat.

All UFO Analysis have the Aerospace credit type. Once a Floater has been interrogated, the speed at which UFOs are analyzed increases by 100%.
