What is it that’s wiping you? If it’s just regular raids, you need to work on your defenses. As far as research goes, the automated sentries are a huge help. To be honest with you though, with a thorough understanding of the mechanics, I think you can survive indefinitely without any particular research.
I see. Some of them depend on the run, so hydroponics are a high priority in the desert but not in the jungle. But for the most part I go from left to right, probably skipping a lot of the early stuff that’s made redundant too quickly. Power is probably my first focus, then security, then things for mood (drugs).
