Auto Research Planner
Queues standard research automatically by priority and target levels while using a selected planet's Research Lab.
Overview
The planner keeps research moving toward target levels without manual scheduling. You control the priority list, desired levels, and which planet launches research.
How It Works
Enable the Standard sub-tab, select the planet whose Research Lab should start research, then define target levels per technology. The bot follows the priority list, checks current levels, skips unavailable research, and starts the next enabled item that has not reached its desired level.
Settings
- Standard Toggle: Turns standard research automation on or off independently from lifeform research.
- Research Lab Planet: Selects which planet's lab will be used to start research.
- Research Priority Order: Defines the order the bot attempts research.
- Desired Target Levels: Sets the level the bot should reach for each tech.
- Per-Research Toggle: Enables or disables a technology in the priority list.
- Refresh Levels: Schedules a level refresh so the UI can sync with the latest game state after the task runs.
Best Practices
- Keep a focused priority list to avoid slow research queues.
- Set realistic target levels for the current stage of your account.
- Refresh levels after major research completes or speedups.
- Use the Lifeform sub-tab for lifeform research slots; standard research and lifeform research have separate toggles and timers.
