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 0.5 for any credit (0.65 with the Ready for War Starting Bonus). Credit Bonuses stack multiplicatively.

Tech Times can be found under Research Projects below.

Alien Autopsies

Alien Corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed.

In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to capture aliens of the researched species on the battlefield for a followup interrogation within the Alien Containment via the Stun Rifle.

Alien Interrogations

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 certain research credits, which increases the research speed of all future research projects and Foundry projects that match the credit type.

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%.
