I was wondering does research overflow from one tech to the next? For example say I am making 100 beakers of research a turn and I only need 50 more beakers to research a tech, do those remainding 50 beakers go to waste or do the go to the next tech?
The reason I am wondering this is if they don't overflow to the next tech, it would be to your benefit to play around with the research slider a good bid. If you can research something in the same amount of turns at 80% as you can at 100% you would be better off going to 80% and getting the extra money for those turns.
This comes in play a lot when you only have a few turns left to research something or near the end of the game when you are researching a new tech every 3 or 4 turns. Is this a worthwhile strategy?
