I have never seen >1 use kits, first one I made was a 2 use kit.

Why do you need to hold down right shift?

When researching anything else you just drag the research kit over top the item when you are in range of a workbench?

That's the bug... Just dragging one kit onto another does nothing, you have to hold shift for it to "work"

Clearly this was a debug feature the devs added to test functionality since the whole thing doesn't make sense. Kind of like the lockpick issue; someone thought it was a good idea and later realized that it was stupid.

Confirmed. This works as described in the OP.

Yup, on low-population servers that makes sense... Try that on a server with 100+ players and you'll die rapidly, and probably never find a research kit in 50 attempts.

Gosh, that would suck >.<

What is interesting, is that when you build it, you have a chance like with the weapons to create better versions of the research kits. You can create kits that can be used multiple times.

Confirmed. Hold Shift to release the research kit. THe nice thing is it can have multiple uses, so from 1 crafted you can use it like 3 times (confirmed). Very usefull at the begining.

Good that I can disable it via Crafting Controller on my server ;-)

Hello! I have recently realised you can research the Research Kits! Facepunch may want to fix this but yeah.. What you need to do is get 2 research kits and as you go to research one of them (By a workbench) you need to hold down right shift.

This is even stated on the Wiki page

Dude....why the hell did you resurrect a 5 month old thread for your first post?
