Curiosity killed the cat...

The MAM is the research facility for unlocking all sorts of cool perks and extra things. You'll be asked to build one during the tutorial. There are multiple research trees, and probably the easiest is the Nutrition tree as there's only a few nodes to research and you pretty much just need the edible plants (which you'll get at least one of each for Varied diet) and Modular Frames (which are unlocked pretty early in the tech tree).

This achievement will unlock for the first tree you finish, then ...Satisfactory brought it back for all the rest.
