About this calculator

Use the Research Center Calculator to enter the progression shown in the game and see required units, time, gates, and shortages.

What to enter

Technology and level
Enter the value shown in game
Choose a Research Center tree and enter the current and target level.
Required research
Enter the value shown in game
Earlier selected nodes are included once when more than one target shares them.
Resources and time
Enter the value shown in game
Use the values shown in the game for per-level costs, research time, and speed.
Current progress
Current level or stock
Enter the current state before the next upgrade.
Target
Next goal
Set the target shown in the game.

Example

Worked example: Research Center Calculator

Inputs

  • Technology and level: Combat tree, level 1 → 3
  • Required research: One shared prerequisite included once
  • Resources and time: 10 meat per level; 30 minutes per level

Results

  • Result: The shared prerequisite is counted once; resource and time gaps stay visible.
  • Enter values from the current game screen before using the result for a spend decision.
  • Unverified values remain visible inputs instead of being copied from another system.

How it works

How this planner works

Select the progression inputs and enter the values shown in the game. The result keeps costs, time, inventory, gates, and event points separate.

When a current table is not verified, the planner asks for the value instead of copying a neighboring system.

What this uses

  • Values that are not covered by a reviewed source remain user-entered assumptions.
  • The planner does not claim a battle result, guaranteed event score, or universal best route.

What to check

  • Some game tables still require a value copied from the current in-game screen.
  • The result is a planning aid and cannot guarantee event points or future game behavior.

FAQ

What does the Research Center Calculator calculate?

It totals the selected progression path, applies the stock you enter, and shows what is still missing.

What if a current game value is not in the source?

Enter the value shown in your game screen; the planner keeps it marked as an input instead of inventing a number.

How is this different from the War Academy calculator?

War Academy focuses on exact branch costs. This page is a broader worksheet for custom research score planning.

Why are the rates editable?

Because the worksheet is meant to match the event assumptions you are actually using, not lock you into one hidden formula.

Can I use this page for non-War-Academy research too?

Yes. That is one of the main reasons this worksheet exists.
