Research

The Research Lab terminal can be accessed in the Laboratory. It brings up options for fighting Mush, increasing the glory for Humans and gives a couple useful commodities.

A BIOS setting can limit research to be done only by Biologists and Medics. You have to be clean (not dirty) to be able to do research, so wearing the Stainproof Apron when participating is recommended.

Many of the research options only become available when certain items or people are present. If these conditions are not met, the research option is not visible, but the progress made on them is preserved.

  • The most important items for research are
  • The presence of Zhong Chun in the Laboratory, can be replaced by a Xyloph DB entry later
  • The death of a Mush agent (the place of death is irrelevant, it can be even outside Daedalus)

Participating in research costs 2 AP, and the efficiency depends on the skills Biologist and Medic. The CPU Priority settings in BIOS can also affect this.

The glory gained for certain research projects is immediately obtained by all living humans upon completion, and an additional glory can be earned when reaching Sol or Eden. Chun earns an additional 4 Glory each time a research requiring her presence is completed. Finola earns an additional 3 Glory for all Mush-related research.

List of Research projects

There are a total of 23 possible researches. Hover over the image to see the description of a research.

Requires Image Name Effectiveness Glory Details
Nothing Anabolics.png Anabolics 0 Generates 4 Anabolics.
Mush Sample Antispore gas.png Antispore Gas 3 Triumph.png The maximum number of Mush spores generated per day is reduced by 2.
Any Consumable Constipaspore serum.png Constipaspore Serum 3 Triumph.png Causes spore extraction to cost 4ap instead of 2.
Chun Mycoscan.png Create Mycoscan 3 Triumph.png Allows the detection of spores on a healthy crew member.
Mush death, Mush sample Meridon scrambler.png Meridon Scrambler 3 Triumph.png Causes hunters to sometimes fire against each other instead of at the Daedalus
Mush death, Chun Mushovore bacteria.png Mushovore Bacteria 3 Triumph.png It takes 4 spores to turn a human into a mush, instead of 3.
Mush sample, Chun Mush hunter.png Mush-Hunter: ZC16H 6 Triumph.png Gives 6 Glory.
Genome Disk Mush language.png Mush Language 6 Triumph.png Gives 6 Glory.
Mush Sample MycoAlarm.png MycoAlarm 3 Triumph.png Makes 5 MycoAlarms.
Holding Schrödinger Ncc lenses.png NCC Contact Lenses 0 Creates 2 pairs of NCC Contact Lenses
Nothing Narcotics distiller.png Narcotics Distiller 0 The Distiller can be used once a day to create a drug.
Blaster, Mush Sample Natamy rifile.png Natamy Rifle 0 Upgrades blaster to a Natamy Rifle, which does more damage to mush. (Confirm?)
Mush death, Genome disk Pheromodem.png Pheromodem 3 Triumph.png The tracker can now communicate on the mush channel.
Medkit Healing pomade.png Ultra-Healing Pomade 0 Healing actions regenerate an additional health point
Mush Sample Spore sucker.png Spore Sucker 0 Produces a Spore Extractor

Pheromodem

Humans can access the Mush channel (read and write), but their names are obfuscated:

  • Everyone talks as "Mush"
  • The names of the participants are scrambled, but the number of letters remain the same (including space). This affects all previous communication on Mush channel as well.
    • 3 letters: Hua, Ian
    • 4 letters: Chao, Chun
    • 5 letters: Paola
    • 6 letters: Finola, Frieda, Gioele, Janice, Jin Su, Raluca, Roland
    • 7 letters: Kuan Ti, Stephen, Eleesha
    • 8 letters: Terrence

The Mush see their channel just like before.
