Biochemistry is the study of all biological and chemical aspects regarding the Apocalypse: the [[Alien Life Forms (Apocalypse)|aliens]], their [[Brainsucker Launcher|organic]] [[Entropy Launcher|equipment]], and their [[Alien Dimension (Apocalypse)|environment]].
 
Biochemistry is the study of all biological and chemical aspects regarding the Apocalypse: the [[Alien Life Forms (Apocalypse)|aliens]], their [[Brainsucker Launcher|organic]] [[Entropy Launcher|equipment]], and their [[Alien Dimension (Apocalypse)|environment]].
  
−
The end goal of most Biochemistry research is the [[Toxigun]], although the lategame topics that allow you to progress through the Alien Dimension also fall under this heading.

=Biochemistry=
 +
Alien lifeforms are strange organisms which only some share a passing resemblance to the humanoid shape. Fighting these otherworldly ''things'' shows that they are suspectible to various weaponry ...but what are they, what is their purpose, their 'alive' weaponry is odd and what do they want with Mega-Primus?
  
−
While the Toxigun is the most powerful weapon in the game, and as such Biochemistry is generally worth doing, there isn't all that much of it to do as most projects are quite fast. After the first few weeks, your research will be limited by the progression of alien types rather than X-Com's research power; as such, multiple labs are unnecessary (a single standard lab will suffice until the [[Advanced Biochemistry Lab (Apocalypse)|advanced lab]] is built, and can then be dismantled as superfluous). If you don't want the Toxigun, you don't even need the advanced lab.
+
==Biochemistry Laboratory==
 +
Various scientific topics will become available once the strange object or lifeform is successfully recovered from combat. Using the knowledge acquired will allow using their own tools against them, knowing which alien is vunerable to certain type of damage, what are their weaknesses and finally, to invent new X-Com weaponry to exploit this new information.

* If a prerequisite is in ''italics'', '''only one in the list''' within "Prerequisites" is needed to allow further study.
  
−
Note that aliens must each be researched twice, once each for their living and dead states. If a requirement or future path is written in ''italics'', only one of the requirements must be met to unlock the later tech.

Biochemistry research is extremely important in the early part of the game. After your Bio-Transport Module is researched and manufactured, you should be bringing bunches of live aliens back from missions. (You <i>are</i> using lots of [[Megapol Stun Grenade |Stun Grenades]], right?) Your immediate goal is [[Toxigun |Toxiguns]] and Toxin-B, which can kill most aliens in two or three shots, have a high rate of fire, and ignore shields. Your ultimate goal is Toxin-C.
 
  
−
Your research should ideally follow roughly this order:
+
==Suggested Sequence==
−
 
+
Biochemistry research is extremely important if wanting the knowledge to construct [[Biological_Warfare_(Apocalypse)|Toxiguns]].
−
* Multiworm (or Autopsy)
 
−
* Advanced Biochemistry Lab. Begin construction (ideally at your second base) as soon as research completes.
 
−
* Multiworm Autopsy (or Live)
 
−
* Hyperworm
 
−
* Hyperworm Autopsy
 
−
* Chrysalis
 
−
* Chrysalis Autopsy
 
−
 
 
−
By the time your Advanced Lab is complete, your biochemists should be finished with the above projects, unless they are horrible. After the above are complete, research the following in order:
 
  
 +
* Bio-Transport Module.
 +
* Multiworm (alive or dead).
 +
* Advanced Biochemistry Lab.
 +
* Multiworm (alive or dead).
 +
* Hyperworm.
 +
* Hyperworm Autopsy.
 +
* Chrysalis.
 +
* Chrysalis Autopsy.
 +
...once the advanced laboratory is complete:
 
* The Alien Genetic Structure
 
* The Alien Genetic Structure
−
* Biological Warfare (Upon completion, begin building Toxiguns, but NOT Toxin A clips)
+
* Biological Warfare (build Toxiguns, ignore Toxin A)
 
* The Alien Life Cycle
 
* The Alien Life Cycle
 
* Toxin B
 
* Toxin B
  
−
From here, you ideally capture and research an example of every alien in the game alive and dead. They can be researched in any order, at which point you may research The Real Alien Threat, prerequisite to Toxin C - which makes Toxiguns the best general-purpose weapon in the game if you have the resources to keep up with producing the clips.

Biochemistry is the study of all biological and chemical aspects regarding the Apocalypse: the aliens, their organic equipment, and their environment.

Biochemistry

Alien lifeforms are strange organisms which only some share a passing resemblance to the humanoid shape. Fighting these otherworldly things shows that they are suspectible to various weaponry ...but what are they, what is their purpose, their 'alive' weaponry is odd and what do they want with Mega-Primus?

Biochemistry Laboratory

Various scientific topics will become available once the strange object or lifeform is successfully recovered from combat. Using the knowledge acquired will allow using their own tools against them, knowing which alien is vunerable to certain type of damage, what are their weaknesses and finally, to invent new X-Com weaponry to exploit this new information.

Research

  • If a prerequisite is in italics, only one in the list within "Prerequisites" is needed to allow further study.
