Title: ze buttons
Post by: Waffles on March 03, 2011, 01:16:39 PM
It seems that there appears to be hints towards a Instant button somewhere on the research screen but I cannot find any. I checked the wiki but there's no screencap of the screen so I could check.

You have to turn on SM mode in order to access it. Turn on SM mode by bringing up the little tiny bar you started the game with and pressing Ctrl-S. Then re-open the research window. Below the list of available researches should be an Instant button. Click it, voila.

Edit: Forgot to mention, when you press Ctrl-S it'll ask for a password. If you didn't set one, you can just hit Enter and it'll turn it on, since nothing is the password.

Make sure SM Mode is enabled.

You'll probably need to completely close the F2 screen and reopen it.  Some of the windows don't refresh when sm mode is toggled.
