Yalp Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Every now and then I see someone recommend to shine some light on the Research Stations. To get the work speed buff. The only test I've seen in that regard confirmed other tasks benefiting and made the assumption, that research would be included. It is not. Here we see Catalina after she finished "Basic Farming" and "Meal Preparation" (35 points of research). Spoiler Since she has +7 in research, she managed to finish everything within one day. We conducted the research twice, with some light and without light. Both times the consumed power was 23.9 kJ for the Research Station. (Dirt consumed was 1754.4 kg both times as well) A test for the Super Computer showed similar results, sadly the hatch ate the results. Spoiler A test for the Virtual Planetarium was not conducted. Let me know if I missed something or got anything wrong . Edit: Save file: TEST - Light boosting.sav Just remove the lights (and Printing Pod!) before testing for the "dark" scenario, I did the same.

Did she have the "well-lit workspace" buff in her tooltip? I'd check myself but I have nothing to research in my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakomaru Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Thanks for checking. I've been avoiding light on my research to prolong them and increase the amount of experience gained. No need anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulwind Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Honestly I've never noticed. I put the research station and super computer in the light from the portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKBERREST3 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 wait! but sweepers and bathrooms are affected though. Either patches or more testing needs to be done and I opt for more patches on this one. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yalp Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Indeed, since the lit workspace buff is displayed, this is definitely a bug. Will report. No idea, why I didn't pay closer attention to the status window before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakomaru Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Lit workspace is only an interaction between a "duplicant" and light. It doesn't make sense to think of getting the buff under those situations a bug just because they are standing near machinery that may not benefit from it.

Why couldn't Klei just release a list for us when they added this feature? Klei: We've come up with something new for you guys...now figure it out.

SkunkMaster Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I might be asking the wrong question, but did you make sure the dupe in question did NOT have the buff while testing without light ? I've noticed that dupes often maintain the buff, even in pitch dark situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalina only gets the buff when researching in a lit workplace. She never did any work before either test. Both tests were started fresh, from the same save. She did not have the buff in the "no light" test. I added the save to the initial post just in case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
