Hi,


    Can someone tell me how Super Computer works and how it helps to finish research faster ?


    "The super computer offers your researchers additional computing capacity. So its possible to achieve faster research results."


    Does it mean we can parallelize 2 (or more) research in the same time ?


    Thanks

    No, you cant.
    What it does instead, for each super computer node you activate (regardless on which planet it is built) you pay 100.000 Spice and after 12h (may depend on the universe you play in) it subtracts 15min research time from your current research.

    Hi, thank you for your answer.
    Well, it's not really a profitable building to have then :D

    thats your opinion.


    in fact, the researches are reduced to 360days max - so a super computer on
    10 planets, with each 5 levels (means also 19 research lab) ends up in
    50*15min reduction 2times a day.


    1500mins almost a day speed up; so you can complete any research in a half of a year.


    there are higher setups possible, but, to keep it simple. its a long run for researchers.

    I don't know what's your definition of the word "profitable", but spending HUGE amount of ressources to build reasearch labs/super computers on 10 planets just to gain a half of a year on a research is not what I call a profitable investment.
