Research

Spend RP:

Research points [RP/₹] are generated via artwork, literature, and rolls. Usually, research points are about equal to the number of levels earned in a piece, though there are ways to increase the amount of research one can earn, such as the Research + purchase, which doubles research from a piece, before any event or meme bonuses.

Research points are used to unlock different portions of the game. For instance, you must have a breeding license in order to pair your colonists up selectively to produce offspring - that license costs research points. Another research is required to have random event rolls in regions that aren't your home region.
