University Laboratory (Guide)/Calculators
Since some of the calculations used in the laboratory can be rather involved, this page contains a few calculators to make things easier.
Circulate a draft of your findings[edit]
Research gain from Circulate a draft of your findings[edit]
This form calculates the amount of research you would gain from playing the card.
template = Template:Calculator/Research Gain from Draft form = DraftResearchGain result = DraftResearchGainResult param = researched|Research done|200|int|200-15000 param = required|Total research required|0|int|1-15000 param = results|Number of Unexpected Results|0|int|0-777
Research threshold from Circulate a draft of your findings[edit]
At some point, you reach the threshold where playing the card would put you over your . This form calculates that threshold (provided that the number of your doesn't change before reaching the threshold, of course). An easy to remember approximation is that the gain is about 10 * (the fraction of the project you've finished) * (Unexpected Results+10), e.g. 7.5*( URs+10) if you're about 75% done. (See spreadsheet.)

Collated Research[edit]
This calculates how much you would get upon Tidying up your University Lab.
The formula is (0.6 × ) + (0.6 × ) + (0.2 × ) + (0.2 × ) (rounded down).

Correspondence[edit]
The gain from Discover what is mandated/Write to your Secret College for help is logistic with as the input and scaled by Equipment:
