Research

Automatic research in oBot for Ikariam: starts the next research as soon as your scientists have the points, in the branch order you choose.

Last update: November 2, 2026

What it does

In Ikariam scientists collect research points, but you have to start each research yourself, branch by branch. oBot starts the next research by itself as soon as the points are enough, following the branch order you choose.

Premium feature

Without premium the settings are saved anyway: the bot starts as soon as premium is active.

Options

Automatic research
On: the bot starts research by itself. Off: it starts none.
Branch order
Seafaring, Economy, Science, Military, Mythology: move them with the arrows and put the one you need most at the top. The default is Economy, Science, Seafaring, Military, Mythology. With automatic development and a goal, the goal decides the order (First colony: straight for Expansion).

Runs a round right away, without waiting for the next one.

What the bot does

  • Every 30 minutes it looks at the first branch of the order that still has something to research.
  • If the points are enough it starts the research (one per round) and writes it in the log and in the page. If a research needs others from other branches, it does those first; Wealth jumps ahead as soon as it can start, because it unlocks the luxury mine.
  • If they are not, it waits: it does not spend points on a less important branch. What it is doing shows the next research, the points it needs and the points you have.
  • For more frequent research you need more scientists: Citizens tab.
