Engineering is one of the three research areas. It consists of the following fields:
Industry: mineral production, robotics, building construction, cosmic storm protection.
Materials: armor, industrial buildings, strategic resources.
Propulsion: kinetic and explosive weapons, thrusters.
Voidcraft: ship types and hulls, starbases, strike craft, megastructures.
Table usage[edit | edit source]
Color indicators: Starter , Acquisition , Rare , Dangerous , Repeatable .
Notes:
- The table shows the default names/icons of techs. Flavor entry is displayed if accompanied by a change to effects/requirements.
- If a tech was available as a research option as part of the last choice, then its (total) weight is halved in the coming choice.
- The table denotes the base cost of a tech. Actual in-game tech cost scales with game settings and
(number of colonized planets and population). - To research techs of higher tiers, it is necessary to first acquire six or more techs of the preceding tier.
- Sorting the table by tiers places all Starter tech at the top and Repeatable end-game tech at the bottom.
- Most icons also double as links. For more information about an unlocked effect (buildings, components, etc.), click on the accompanying icon.
