Here are a couple tables that show what it costs to do research. FYI.
Total Cost of attaining a QL with 40wu research and a level 0 research facility. For every level of research facility above zero, just add 20M to the research cost.
Target QL Total Cost
5 21,000,000
10 24,000,000
15 29,000,000
20 36,000,000
25 45,000,000
30 56,000,000
35 69,000,000
40 84,000,000
45 101,000,000
50 120,000,000
55 141,000,000
60 164,000,000
65 189,000,000
70 216,000,000
75 245,000,000
80 276,000,000
85 309,000,000
90 344,000,000
95 381,000,000
100 420,000,000
This table shows the monthly cost for research with a level 0 facility. For each level above 0 for your research facility just add 500,000.
5 525,000
10 600,000
15 725,000
20 900,000
25 1,125,000
30 1,400,000
35 1,725,000
40 2,100,000
45 2,525,000
50 3,000,000
55 3,525,000
60 4,100,000
65 4,725,000
70 5,400,000
75 6,125,000
80 6,900,000
85 7,725,000
90 8,600,000
95 9,525,000
100 10,500,000
I hope you can make good use of these tables. I'll leave this post with a few tidbits of information regarding QL research.
It costs a total of 3.27 Billion to reach ql 100 when researching with 40wu researches.
It costs a total of 3.31 Billion if you do two 40wu researches followed by fifteen 48wu researches.
The above numbers are for level zero research facilities. For every level above zero add 400M to the price of the research.
