Chapter 13: Technology
Advances
Frictionless Surfaces
The ability to produce cloaked units could provide a military edge against
neighbors. Move to quantum power and gain the benefits of the quantum lab,
an improvement to both economy and research.
* Type: Discover 10
* Abilities: Cloaking device
* Comes from: Unified field theory, industrial nanorobotics
* Leads to: Quantum power
Fusion Power
Providing a new reactor and a useful facility, fusion power also adds
an efficient base citizen, the engineer.
* Type: Discover 6
* Reactors: Fusion power
* Base facilities: Fusion lab
* Citizens: engineer
* Comes from: Presentient algorithms, superconductor
* Leads to: Advanced ecological engineering, organic superlubricant
Gene Splicing
Being low on the tree but with several important branches, most players
should steer their path through gene splicing. Build research hospitals
to improve research and to keep workers efficient and happy.
* Type: Build 3
* Base facilities: Research hospital
* Comes from: Biogenetics, ethical calculus
* Leads to: Synthetic fossil fuels, bio-engineering, ecological engineering
Graviton Theory
Providing the building blocks of graviton units, this advance also lies
only one step away from applied gravitonics, which provides one of the
more powerful unit-based weapons in the game.
* Type: Explore 13
* Chassis types: Gravship (8)
* Abilities: Antigrav struts
* Comes from: Quantum machinery, mind-machine interface
* Leads to: Applied gravitonics
