Research tips

I'm curious, what research do you consider most important and why.

Nothing is the most important.
Just reserch what you need at the moment.
(I recommend microelectronics basics and stone cutting for beginning)

Stonecutting, microelectronics basics are the obvious first choices. The sooner you can build with stone, the sooner you can stop worrying about walls catching fire. Microelectronics is quick to research and opens up a bunch of other research areas, some of which are critical to progress, regardless of your playstyle.

I like to hang out in literally the coldest areas possible (tops of very tall mountains that show up as pure white on temp chart, may require several worlds to find) so hydroponics is absolutely essential.
