The starting tech tree, with the first tech unlocked.

The Research and Development Facility is a new structure added in version 0.22. The building is used to unlock new parts in the tech tree in career mode. Unlocking parts requires science. The facility contains multiple buildings, but it is not possible to go inside each individual building. The R&D facility is the largest building in the KSC.

Secondary Buildings

The Research and Development Facility is the second structure to contain multiple buildings, after the tracking station. The R&D facility has a telescope, which is used to receive data sent back to Kerbin. The facility also contains a structure of 3 cylinder tanks containing an unknown liquid. Several barracks can be found on-site, as well an overhanging passageway between 2 buildings. There are 3 main buildings, which are all inter-connected.

Trivia

If a player tries to enter the R&D facility in sandbox mode, a message will appear saying "The research and development facility is closed".
