I got a new colourful icon at one of my labs :
 
When I scroll over it, the message says :
 
"The influence of a subsidiary on the investigation speed is less than 100%"
 
When I enter the lab, I get some other information :
 
"Subordinated enterprise absent (reqired size: 1; technology level: not less 5) "
 
What does it mean ? Do I have to link the lab to a factory or something like that ? The thing is, the lab is researching a level 6 technology, while all my corresponding factories have level 9 at least (strange, isn't it ? Well ). If I link the lab to a factory, what will happen then ? I hope the level of technology of that factory won't be reduced...

You can research level 6 and still can have level 10 in your factory. Obviously you either bought technology or bought license. You just attach one of those factories to lab and research will go on (industrial testing).

Now there is a green bulb icon at my factory. The hover message is "Subordinated enterprise".
What does that mean?

Hi,
it means that one of your laboratories is using this factory as "Subordinated enterprise" at the moment for stage 3 research.
 
I expected to find a link from the factory page to this laboratory, but seems that such feature was not added.

question!
 

I have a size 400 worker dyestuff factory.
 

and I am researching and subordinating this factory.
 

is there a difference if I just employ 5 employees rather than 400 max employees to speed up research time?
or is research time related to products produced?
 

I don't really need a lot of dyestuff, and I already 100k-ish of em, so I am thinking of reducing production

not 100% sure here, but I think you won't get 100% of the advancement if the factory isn't fully loaded...

or is research time related to products produced?

Research effectiveness is not influenced by the amount of stuff this subordinate division produces - for example, I'm researching DecorStudio with 100% effectiveness even though I have yet to produce a single decor thingy ever...
 
If you don't have enough workers in the subordinate factory, this could drop research down to 50% (I don't think it can drop lower even if you have only one worker in the factory - not sure though). 'Enough' means about 80% of the maximum number of workplaces for factory size required for the level of research:
you could have size 5 factory with 10000 workplaces, but if your research requires size 1 factory (which has 400 places), then 400*0.8 workers should be about enough for 100% research effectiveness.
 
If factory effectiveness drops (because of broken equipment or other reasons) this will decrease research effectiveness accordingly.
 
Vacations in subordinate bring research to 0%. Now we have this green bulb in the list of subdivisions, so it's a bit easier, but I still would like to have this indicator in the factory screen also.

Any way to find out how long time the industrial testing will take on different tech levels?
 
How much will additional scientists speed this up?
