Efficiency Research

This page is now rather significantly out of date for higher levels. This is mostly for lower level data and stfc.space already has this data so I haven’t replicated it.


For Research:

If anything makes your life easier in this game, it is spending less resources to get what you were going to buy anyway. Efficiency research’s goal is to bring down your costs along the way.

Efficiency Research

So how does efficiency actually work? It’s the original cost, divided by the sum of your bonuses (as decimal values), plus 1. So if something costs 100 crystal, and you have 150% crystal reduction (added together from any and all the different research you may have), following this formula it would be 100/(1+1.5), so your actual cost would be 40 crystal. If you don’t want to deal with math, here’s a calculator to make your life easier.

If you go to https://stfc.space you can find the base value for any building, research or ship.
