'''Reduced research time''' (RRT) is a bonus that can be obtained from [[Evolved Bacteria]] or [[Dark Matter Institute]]. It decreases the time that it takes to complete all activities in the [[Research|'''Research Labs''']] with the exception of sending and recalling [[Resources#Scientists|Scientists]] in the [[Planetary Research]] section.
The RRT bonuses from different Evolved Bacteria are not additive. Instead, each Evolved Bacteria with the bonus reduces the {{reduced research time remaining instead of the original research time.<sup>[https://www.reddit.com/r/BacterialTakeover/comments/7lqtbm/research_bonus_stats_arent_adding_up/]</sup>}}
For example, if the player has three Evolved Bacteria equipped with RRT of 13.3%, 12.1%, 13.8%, then the total RRT would be 34.3% not 39.2%. <sup>=Related Pages=*[https://www.reddit.com/r/BacterialTakeover/comments/7lqtbm/research_bonus_stats_arent_adding_up/ [1<nowiki>Research]]*[[Research Time]</nowiki>]</sup>
The RRT displayed in the Bacteria Evolution menu does not include reductions to research time from [[Dark Matter Institute]]. =References=Similar Mechanics== *[:[Warp Technology1]]*[[Red Bacteria]] (the <code>reduce research time<https://www.reddit.com/r/BacterialTakeover/comments/7lqtbm/research_bonus_stats_arent_adding_up/code> reward)
