Overview[]

Research & Development is one of the few buildings in your base. Upgrading this will give you a higher mining speed, more building items and decreases the amount of time it takes to produce XP and coins from Data & Analysis and Mining Operations. When the game first came out, the max level was 8.

The numbers in parentheses are the true mining speed boosts. For some reason, the game doesn't display the actual mining strength boost. The number in parentheses in the gold/XP time column represents how much you are earning in ruins gold/XP production.
