Notes
- Research benefits from the following Research Credits: UFO Technology
- Completed research allows construction of new Base Facility: Elerium Generator
- This key material is reintroduced in the remake, and is similarly a limited and project-encompassing resource. It sells on the Grey Market for a paltry 3§. So, for many of the same reasons, it should not be sold. It is recovered automatically after a successful mission, from any assaulted UFOs (even if the Elerium Generators are destroyed: naturally, intact generators yield higher amounts) and certain enemies.
