Research

Research is a gameplay mechanic of The Redstone Block introduced on the first page and first used by Goddess_of_Muffins, also on page 1. It is how new buildings and other things are created to be bought from the store. Research is monitored by both major and minor staff.

History
Initially, most researches were relatively simple, most doing nothing but automatically generating a fixed amount of redstone blocks per update. The Blocky Printer was the first research to break this mold, generating a random amount of Redstone Blocks per update. Until alfieq joined as minor staff, all researches were accepted or denied by superrexbrothers the next time he updated.

How it works
Instead of clicking, a player may fill out this form:

Building Name: Effect: Cost:

alfieq or another research staff will then judge the research attempt in their next update, approving or denying it for admin approval, and making suggestions on how to fix it if denied. nametooshort has also been known to weigh in on pending research projects, due to his Advisor of Research status granted to him by alfieq.
