How to unlock the Europa Universalis achievement in Surviving Mars - Definitive Guide
I built a medium dome with 3 Hawking Institues and a Network node all fully staffed across 3 shifts with scientists (Use the extra applicants perk to get extra applicants)
I also had the Research amplification enabled on all 4 buildings.
The rest of the dome was just appartments, a grocer, diner & spacebar.
The only other science building I had was 1 of the outside research buildings that Europe gets although this wasn't very well manned in the end as I had moved all scientests to my science dome.
This got me to just over 9k research a sol then I outsourced 1k from Earth which put me over the 10k mark and unlocked the achievement!
If that doesn't get you to 10k then you can build more Hawking Institutes in another dome. Or the Omega Telescope can boost your research.
If you really want to go OP then you can use http://survivingmaps.com/ to find a map with the Superconducting Computing breakthrough tech on it. Once you've unlocked this build the Artificial Sun and that should give you around 4k research points a sol!
Network Spire is near the end of the Robotics tree. Research amplification, Omega Telescope & Artifical Sun are at the end of the physics tree and the Hawkings Institute is in the middle of the Social tree.
I suggest playing with the modifiers prefab colony, fast scanning, fast rockets, increased production & extra applicants. No disasters or events is optional depending on your preference (Both can help or hinder)
None of these options disable achievements.
This playthrough will require you to prioritize securing Rare Metals to produce Electronics, and research all technologies that give a boost to research points. You are going to need a colony size of about 300+, with a majority of them scientists (either from Earth or trained in Martian University).
Keep in mind that if you have the multiple of the same Research buildings in the same Dome, each building suffers from Collaboration Losses. Try to limit to maximum of 2 per dome, even if you have a big dome with the Network Node spire, have them staffed with Scientists. You need reach a daily total of 10,000 Research which is no small feat.
2x RC Explorers = 160 Points total (200 Points - 40 Collaboration Loss)
Sponsor Research = 400 Points base, can be increased via Research & Special Projects up to around 1200 Points before Sol 100
Genius Colonists = 150 Points each, when at high sanity
Research Lab = Average 400 Points each
Hawking Institue = Average 650 Points each
Low G-Lab = Average 300 Points each
Outsource Research = Maximum 1000 Points per Sol
