Ideas for a goonstation research system

[misto]

somebody mentioned collecting data off of random events somehow and that sounded nice. running thru the mini wormholes on purpose, poking the spatial tear, running into the green radiation things on purpose, a radiation suit and a data collector so you can run around gathering points during mass radiation storm, scanning people who are affected by magnet shit

oh yeah, and since artlab and artifacts are typically aching for uses, maybe a machine that eats unwanted shitty artifacts and shits out research points

but what are we going to be using this research system for, exactly? are we going to be building new science guns?
