I think being able to add more researchers would be very cool. Having one already is really nice, but having extras that are specialized in certain areas (unlocked by a new section in the research tree) would be super fun.

Planetary Economist - Has studied the trading and bartering and currencies of this planet and cross referenced those off-world to gain an upperhand.

Increases sell price of items. First tier is x1.1, second is x1.25, third is x1.5. If this higher than a shop price of an item, it will just be shop price

Grant Writer - Knows the inner workings of DPIP's grant program and is on good terms with key officals.

Adds a flat Xen bonus to all prompts. First tier is +1 Xen, second is +5, third is +10

Mad Geneticist - Their morals are questionable, but it's hard to match their dexerity and precision.

Increases the chance of a specific number of genes to be passed in a breeding at the cost of a +10% mortality chance. First tier is 1 gene, Second tier is 2, Third tier is 4

First tier upgrades unlock the researcher slot.

First tier - 100 R

Second tier - 200 R
