Quote from: "Steve Walmsley"
The amount of RP researched is equal to the base amount multiplied by the scientist bonus. So if you had 10 labs with 200 RP per year, the base RP would be 2000 RP. A scientist with a 30% bonus assigned to those 10 labs will generate 2600 RP per year but you will only pay wealth for 2000 RP.

Except that, at any time other than the very early game (when you don't yet have a lot of scientists), that scientist probably specializes in whatever is being researched, which mean the 30% bonus gets multiplied by 4, for an overall factory of 2.2 (1.0 + 4*0.3).  So you'd get 4400 RP per year at a wealth cost of 2000 RP?  Cool.

That depends if I need efficiency or speed :)

So I was partially correct - which means, by my logic, that I was right all along ....

If you have a scientist with a rating of 20%, and a capacity of 5 labs, would you swap that one out for one with a rating of 10% and capacity of 10 labs?

Don't forget that the wealth cost of research is based on the amount of RP without the scientist bonus so the research is cheaper and more efficient if the 20% scientist carries it out, but faster if the 10 labs scientist does it.
