Research Cost Calculator
Research it or tech it
The Research Table only wants the item and its scrap price. The tech tree wants every node above it as well. Pick what you are after and see both numbers side by side.
Step one
Pick the blueprints
Click to add, click again to drop. Filter by shelf or search by name.
Pick a blueprint and both prices appear here.
How to read it
Research the thing you already looted; tech-tree the thing you cannot find. A node you pass through on the way to something else is never charged twice, so two goals in the same branch are far cheaper together than apart.
Note: Scrap prices are patch-dependent. Every price here was read from the item pages on 12 August 2026 and cross-checked: each node price plus the price of its prerequisites matches the published path total for all 118 paths.
