Researching

Hi Justin,

I think you might be referring to the time displayed when you have multiple research items ongoing at any one time.

It's a queue - so the second item only starts when item 1 is finished.

If I start one research called xxxxx that will take one hour, then the Research In Progress will say:
xxxxx   1h

If, 5 minutes later I start another research called yyyyy that will take 35 minutes, then the Research In Progress bar will say:
xxxxx  55m
yyyyy  1h 30m

I totally accept that we could display this better - you're not the first, nor will you be the last to find it confusing!

Hope that answers your question.

Best wishes,

GM Stormcrow

	A possibility that this question has already been answered, but I am unable to find it so I will go ahead and ask. When researching there is a cost column and a time column. The cost I understand, although the time it says it takes to research this technology seldom matches up with the actual time it is taking to complete. Is there something that I am overlooking, if so i would be appreciative if someone could offer me some assistance. Thank you, Justin
