Direct answer
Research runs in the laboratory (late progression). Use biomass and seed material, pick parents, and harvest experimental offspring to discover new varieties.
Research flow
- Unlock the lab and research station (see how-to-unlock-lab).
- Supply biomass and plant material.
- Select parent plants and start the experiment.
- Harvest offspring; verify the variety against the current build.

Evidence note
Genetics is version-sensitive β playtest pages describe mechanics that changed. Varieties are published only when verified in 1.0.
OBSERVEDSteam discussions
Community: lab construction is the late-game progression wall; genetics experiments are the payoff.
