Choose what to research. Let Rantz Research handle the rest.
Rantz Research automatically selects your next technology based on your preferred strategy, science packs, and research limits.
- Six research strategies: Fast, Slow, Cheap, Expensive, Balanced, and Random.
- Science pack controls: Set each pack to On, Off, or Dynamic.
- Dynamic availability: Monitor a lab and research technologies using selected packs only while those packs are available. Ideal for intermittent agricultural or promethium science deliveries.
- Whitelist and blacklist: Control which technologies automatic research can select.
- Infinite research limits: Set a target level for individual technologies. Once reached, research pauses for that technology until you raise the limit.
- Flexible settings: Allow research switching, restrict selection to queued research, or deprioritize infinite technologies.
- Compact interface: Collapsible sections remember your preferences, with research lists sorted by strategy and unavailable technologies greyed out.
