To Research

Action informational · agent_initiated

Initiating a systematic discovery process that unlocks new knowledge or abilities.

Design question – Can agents in your game systematically unlock new things? How does the progress feel?

Reference example – XCOM: captured alien parts are researched in the lab and turned into new weapons. Factorio: labs consume science packs and unlock new technology. Pandemic: with five cards of one colour, the cure is discovered at a research station.
