'''Reduced [[File:Research time.png|thumb|200px|right|The reduced research time''' (RRT) is a bonus that can be obtained here does not take into account additional reduction from [[Evolved Bacteria]]https://wiki.bacterialtakeover.com/index. It decreases the time that it takes to complete all activities in the [[Researchphp?title=Spaceship|'''Research Labs'''space ship parts]] with the exception of sending and recalling [[Resources#ScientistsDark Matter Institute|Scientistsdark matter institute]] in the [[Planetary Research]] section.
The RRT bonuses from different Evolved Bacteria are not additive. Instead, each Evolved Bacteria with the bonus reduces the research time remaining instead of the original research time.

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>[https://www.reddit.com/r/BacterialTakeover/comments/7lqtbm/research_bonus_stats_arent_adding_up/ [1<nowiki>]</nowiki>]</sup>{{reduced research time}}
