Research Items are a collection of Medium objects. They come in a wide variety, differing in shape, color, and locations where they can be found. They are used in a Research Chamber to gain bytes, which are used to unlock the various items in the game.

Technology Research Items[]

Technology research items are found inside of EXO Dynamics Research Aids and around satellite wrecks. They share the same aesthetic as items crafted by players, implying they come from EXO Dynamics as well.

Mineral Research Items[]

Mineral research items are found on or around rock formations on the various planets and are the most abundant of the research item types. Mineral research items typically resemble rocks of different types, sometimes containing crystals or other colored rocks. Some mineral research items also resemble clusters of crystals.

Organic Research Items[]

Organic research items are found on top of or under plants on every planet. They appear with less rigid edges than mineral items have, being rounded, with most having plant-like protrusions on their surfaces that react to the wind like Flora.

Notes[]

  • It is possible to get a large number of Bytes by stopping a Research Chamber before it completely consumes the item. Remove the Research Item from the Research Chamber and use a Packager on it. This resets the byte value of the item to it's original value when unpacked.
