From the manual: (on GoG account)
Every 2 percent over cost equals one point is from the manual. Every 4 percent equals one point is from my tracking.
After the Base Cost has been invested in its research, your scientists have a
chance of a breakthrough, as long as you continue to fund that research.
Your chance of breakthrough increases by 1% for every 2% of the Base Cost
you invest in addition.
So, for example, if the base cost of a device were 100 RP, you would get a
chance to have a breakthrough after that 100 RP has been invested. By the
time you invested a total of 150 RP, your chance of breakthrough that turn
would be 25% (100 spent on the Base Cost; 50 more RP divided by 2 gives
you a 25% chance).
Every 2 percent over cost equals one point is from the manual. Every 4 percent equals one point is from my tracking.
