University
Station scholars here to generate Research Insight passively — no minigames required. Insight per minute scales with how many scholars you assign and their aptitude (STUDIOUS members count double, CASTER members 1.5x), banked in a reservoir you collect on return. Build one per region. Each University level also grants a small permanent bonus to ALL Insight you earn anywhere (minigames, quests, and every scholar post). A lone scholar already produces; higher levels add slots and reservoir size.
Requirements to build
All of these must be true, and you also need the level 1 build cost from the table below. New to building? Start with Set up your base.

- Regions
- Any region
- Plot kind
- Civic district plot
- Unlocks at story Chapter 5.
Level progression
Build cost is what you pay to reach that level (level 1 is the construction price). Construction and upgrades are instant; there is no build timer for ordinary buildings.
