</>What does Research Manager do?
Research Manager gives you complete control over Oxygen Not Included's research progression. Enter an amount once, then add it to basic research, advanced research, materials science research, or data analysis research independently. Each research currency also has its own reset action, allowing you to return that stored amount to zero without changing the others. This makes it easy to test specific research tiers or correct an amount added by mistake. Unlock All Technologies completes every available technology in one action. Use it when starting a creative colony, testing late-game buildings, or skipping a research grind you have already completed elsewhere.
</>What is Research Manager?
Research Manager is an Oxygen Not Included research mod covering basic, advanced, materials science, and data analysis points. Separate actions keep each research type independent, while matching reset controls return individual balances to zero. The Unlock All Technologies action completes the available research tree for immediate access to buildings and systems across colony progression.
