A research question

[General Hawkwing]

Does anyone know how the "repeat research projects" button works? Does it work with only 1 area selected? Do unused research points roll forward? EX: If level 1 costs 5000, level 2 costs 10,000 and I have 17,000 points will I research both levels 1 & 2 in one turn and spend the remaining points on level 3.
I'll try to test this tonight but was wondering if anyone already knew.

Yes, it works exactly like that. And you can repeat several projects if you like, either sequentially or simultaneously.

Speaking of rollover, if you let your research queue run dry and then assign a new project after getting the notice, are the extra points from Last turn lost?

I'd assume so - and it seems a reasonable penalty for "bureaucratic" disorganization - but I was curious if anybody knew for sure.

Psi,

Yes if not used the research points are lost. There is no "storage" for research points.

Ran some tests Last night and found that it would only advance 1 tech level per turn. This was on demo 0.56. I did not get the message saying that all projects were complete. My research screen showed level 2 research with no part completed.
My tests had around 22,000 points and I was researching level 1 5,000 point, level 2 10,000 point items.
This makes no sense from a mathematical view and little sense from a realistic research point of view.

THere are two ways of researching thinggs
You can split all the points, or finsih the projects in order
Splitting points can waste points
Doing it in order does one or two at a time
Repeat projects just makes it do the same research over and over
