I am sure this has been done before, so if someone would just point me to the right place... What is the cost of resources? how does it work? I have done some testing and am totally confused. First turn, it was easy... level 1 costs 50 for normal, 25 for 50% less, and 88 for 75% more... Next turn, I reasearched a normal field with the minimum amount needed... came out with 90. okay, thats fine. did the same. came out with 240. so it looks like you take the last 2 costs and add them together (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ect). problem being, when I went back to the cost 50% less that cost 25 on the first turn, it now costs 45! whats going on here?

You can start with some old threads at r.g.c.s:

Research cost (towards the middle)

Can't figure basic research costs (for more than just numbers)

and

Research configuration

I'm sure there's others. Sherlock

Long story short, the more total levels you have the more expensive to get the next level. This is why I generally get annoyed when I gain BioTech from storming an enemies world. Mad
