Chapter 13: Technology
Advances
Industrial Automation
A packed advance, industrial automation can be a powerful tool for the Morgan
player, awarding supply crawlers (which will elevate commerce) and much-needed
hab complexes. The addition of the wealth value system makes this a must-have
for Morgan Industries.
* Type: Build 3
* Weapons: Supply transport (equipment)
* Unit types: Supply crawler
* Base facilities: Hab complex
* Secret projects: The Planetary Transit System
* Socio-economic model: Wealth
* Comes from: Industrial economics, planetary networks
* Leads to: Silksteel alloys, Doctrine Initiative, neural grafting, industrial
nanorobotics
Industrial Base
The default advance for Morgan players lets them produce synthmetal sentinels,
a sturdy defensive unit, immediately. Move on to industrial economics
to acquire the Morganites' preferred free market social model.
* Type: Build 1
* Faction: Morgan Industries
* Defenses: Synthmetal armor (2)
* Secret projects: The Merchant Exchange
* Leads to: Superconductor, high-energy chemistry, polymorphic software,
industrial economics
Industrial Economics
With the energy bank and free market economics, grab this advance only
if your faction can support the social model or use its benefits.
* Type: Build 2
* Base facilities: Energy bank
* Socio-economic model: Free market
* Comes from: Industrial base
* Leads to: Industrial automation, environmental economics
Industrial Nanorobotics
This technology advance can assist in building and repairing a wide military
force. The robotic assembly plant includes mineral bonuses while the Nano
Factory secret project allows for unit repair even outside base squares.
* Type: Build 9
* Base facilities: Robotic assembly plant
* Secret projects: The Nano Factory
* Comes from: Nanominiaturization, industrial automation
* Leads to: Frictionless surfaces, digital sentience
