Researcher cost

After an arduous task, involving literally two data points and using my memory to back-test, I am quite confident that I have discovered the formula for the cost of a researcher. If my calculations are correct, it is $8500 + $1445 per level.

For example, as a level 28 player currently, my researcher cost is $8500 + $1445*28 = $48,960.

I hope this is of use for players wanting to plan research contributions to their co-operative, etc.

    Good job :)
    I just tested you formula for level 36: 8500+1445*36=60520.
    Perfect. I'm sure there are many players (including me) that are thankful for this :thumbsup:

    that is correct indeed. for level 42 the calculation would be 69190, and that's what I need to pay :D

    Unfortunately not correct for me. 8500+1445*48 = 77860. This amount only applied to two of the available researches, that required 6 to 10 researchers. Other researches of about 14 to 17 researchers require 87020 for me. The first two are for level 1 and 2, the others for level 3 of the research. Might have something to do with research level as well? Any thoughts on that?

    Ooh, yes, you make a very good point. I hadn't spotted the difference. We have Level 3 pigs available and Level 2 milk, and the prices are different. Perhaps it is research-level dependent as well. This will take more investigation than I had thought! Thank you for pointing that out.

    [UPDATE: Okay, so I checked my figure too, and I think that probably for the project you mention, the cost is $9500 + $1615*level. However, I will need more data to find out whether there are other projects which have yet more different costs, and if so whether there is a formula linking them.]

    At the moment, our co-op only has access to research with two different price schedules: $8500+$1445 per level, and $9600+$1615 per level (see updated post a little up the thread).

    Any further information is certainly welcomed by me! :)

    Some of the Researcher cost that i noted....
    Level 6 - $1200
    Level 7 - $1276.
    Level 8 - $ 2054.


    I think the formula might be A+ x*b,

    A is standard for certain level range and b changes for each level...

    A is 8500 for level 25-40.

    I will calculate the rest and update here.

    After these two price schedules, we went to $10,500 plus $1,785/level.

    $8500+$1445 is correct for me on the first research - Optimise processes L1, L5 co-op, L66 player.
