As one NPC explained it to me we would spend the next few months in the Utopia training facility. I assume that means we will have notes at check-in?
I was also told before we purchased the training, that it would not be in place of our normal research cycle. I like this idea, it gives us the option for a "fun" ability without spending our precious research cycle on it. There are a lot of things people would like to study that may not affect game power, but often times the decision comes down to which research will best ensure you and the coloney live to see another day.
And anone whe claims coffee contradicts this, try and live without it.
