The Alters – Research Guide – How To Unlock New Research Level Tiers 

Welcome to Into Indie Games’ Research Guide for the Alters. In this guide, we tell you how to unlock new Research Level Tiers.

For more information about the game, please go here.

Before any research can begin, two things are needed: a functioning Research Lab and The Scientist present at the base. To make sure you have the most efficient playthrough, the Scientist should be your first Alter. Once both are in place, the Research screen becomes available from the main menu.

Research is split into four stages, from Level 1 up to Level 4. Each level introduces more complex technologies that help deal with tougher challenges. But moving up these tiers isn’t automatic.

To progress to the next research tier, Jan must raise the base’s Qubit Level. This is done by exploring the map, locating a Damaged Chip, repairing it at the Workstation, and inserting it into the Quantum Computer. Every successful Qubit Level upgrade unlocks the next research stage, opening the door to more advanced innovations.

Lastly, some advanced research requires Planetary Samples, which are acquired by following the Internal Vein trails to their end and collecting the Planetary Samples. Some research takes two samples.

Pro Tip: Make sure you have a researched most of the suit upgrades and Luminator upgrades before Act 3 or as early as possible before climbing the Interal Tree.

Completely unlocked Research Trees for all Categories are below.
