Research Bonus Question

Post by deMangler »

I am a little confused about research bonuses.
For example - I get that the industrial research bonus helps with:
Colonization
Cargo Bays
Crew Systems
Docking Bays
Mining Engines
Passenger Compartments
Fuel Cells
Troop Compartments Mining
Terraforming

From the manual. This is kind of clear as there is not an industrial category in the research tree.

However the Construction bonus applies to:
Construction Yard
Starfighter Bay
Remove Fuel Transfer
Starfighter Base
Shipyard
From the manual.

But in the research tree the Construction category includes things like frigates and so forth.

It is possible that my confusion simply arises from the fact that there is a naming duplication in the tree and in the bonus and they don't always overlap.

Is there any tooltip place or in-game way of telling which bonus applies to which research?
