=Sending Scientists=
Scientists take '''1 hour''' to travel to their destination. Planetary research is unavailable while scientists Scientists are travelling.
Travelling speed is not influenced by the [[Reduced Research Time|reduced research time]] stateffect, but it can be halved by researching the '''[[Scout]]''' technology in the [[Dark Matter Institute]]. The current travel time can also be reduced from one of the [[Red Bacteria]] rewards.
By paying some [[Resources#Diamonds|diamonds]], it is possible to instantly send scientists Scientists to their destination. The price depends on the remaining travel time and the initial price is {{Diamond icon}}10 diamonds.
When going to the current planet, scientists Scientists can travel <u>one alone or several at a time</u>. When returning from a planet, scientists Scientists can only travel all <u>together</u>.
All scientists Scientists instantaneously return to the player automatically:
* upon destroying the current planet
* upon entering a [[Black Hole]]
In all other instances the scientists Scientists will remain on the current planet until the player orders them to return. =Research Time=Research time depends on how many Scientists are on the planet and it is influenced by the [[Reduced Research Time|reduced research time]] effect. Research can also be completed instantly by paying some [[Resources#Diamonds|diamonds]]. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center;"|-! scope="col" rowspan="1"| Scientists! scope="col" data-sort-type="time" rowspan="1"| Base Duration|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]1 |24:00:00|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]2 |18:00:00|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]3 |15:00:00|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]4|13:00:00|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]5 |12:00:00|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]6|11:00:00|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]7 |10:00:00|- |[[File:Scientist.png|20px]]8+ |9:00:00|- |}
=Planetary Discoveries=
Every time the player completes gathering soil samples, he discovers a boost for the current planet.
{{planetary discoveries table}} '''NB!''' The increase to BPS from Planetary discoveries does not increase BPC, even if the player has an upgrade that converts a percentage of BPS to BPC. ==Finding Minerals==On most planets, there is a chance to find a [[Minerals|'''Mineral''']] whenever a Scientist completes gathering soil samples.
