I´m not sure what happens to the remaining 600 RP, but on a general note it is more efficient to complete the research the conventinal way and _then_ dissasemble the advanced part because you get a percentage amount of RP based on the total research cost of the technology. Thus, if you would get 1600 RP while researching magneto-plasma, you would probably get some 3000 RP when you can research internal fusion.

What happens if the cost to research the next level is less than the value of the recovered RP bonus?

So using the 1600 RP from above...

I have 1000 RP to go to get the next level in whatever it is or the next level only costs 1000 RP...the remaining 600 do what?

ok, cool, thanks!

If you disassemble an advanced engine you can´t currently research, you gain RP for the engine tech you _can_ research, for Magneto Plasma, for example, if you have Ion Drives.
This goes for all the techs, i.e. Laser size/type, Sensors, whatever.

Disassembled on Earth yes, a lot of labs. Got the messages about gaining the research points. I confirm it is Internal Confinement fusion drive and there is no change.

There is also another tech with a very similar name. Internal and Inertial confinement are different techs.

Did you disassembled it on the planet with your research labs?

Hey,

I successfully disassembled a component, gaining 1600 RP in internal confinement fusion drive, which is a tech I can't research as of yet. Checking the full list of possible projects in PP, I still see that the cost to research this tech is 40.000.

So I'm wondering if this is a bug or something I don't get? Should it not be 38.400 ?
