Lit Workspace question

[Prince Mandor]

Light provides Lit Workspace buff for dupes on some workplaces.

So far, I can see it buffs kitchen, but not ranching.

Are there any list of buildings, affected and not affected by light?

Or possibly such information can be aquired in game? (Except by building light above Grooming Station and see no effect)

I recently tested this on lavatories and showers and it works - dupes spend less time on this.

I also checked how it affects research stations - it goes faster as well but in my opinion is not a good thing as attribute rises are connected with time spent on doing connected activity. So I checked how many reaserch points a dupe with and without lit space will use up to get to +1 Science from level 0.

Dupe with lit space used up 59 points, while dupe without lit space used up only 55. Since total number of research point is finite then I think it is better to not use lit space buff for researching.

Well, it works on shower, but does it say "Lit Workplace" in dupe effects?

If not, possibly it works on ranching too, just silently... Don't know how to check it

 

Also, I'm not sure about research. Light speed up research process. In terms of time, researcher research entire tree faster with light, but will have less attribute increased by the end. But does it really matter? After completing all research, his Science attribute is practically useless

To me Science attribute is one of the most important as it affects how fast other attributes are rising.

As far as I know, any activities that has a progress bar benefit from lit workspace, meaning even the recreation from beach chair and surfer board.

Yes, I understand Your point.

But as far as I understand, dedicated researcher do nothing except research until space, and after that he will have a lot of skillpoints, more than any other dupe

That is why I change researchers to allow also other dupes to rise Science attribute.

In my last colony most of my dupes had 12 Science.

It does show that on the shower.

Last I checked, the buff shows up on ranching, but it doesn't actually speed things up. (Needs retesting)

I believe they changed/patched this so any relaxation activities do not benefit from the lit workspace buff.

it depends, with light you also delete less resources
