=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 Scientists are on the planet and it is influenced by the [[Reduced Research Time|reduced research time]] stateffect.
Research time can also be completed instantly by paying some [[Resources#Diamonds|diamonds]].
