Technology

The Basics

Technology is a gameplay mechanic, made up of blueprints split between regular Technology Technology and Ancient Technology Ancient Technology. Blueprints are unlocked via meeting tiers and using Technology Points and Ancient Technology Points.

The player gains 6Technology for each level they gain, 1Technology for each Fast Travel point is unlocked, 1Ancient Technology the first time each Alpha Pal is defeated, and 5Ancient Technology the first time each Tower is defeated. As of 0.7.0, a total of 384Technology can be earned through leveling and 75Technology from Fast Travel points, and a total of 72Ancient Technology can be earned from Alpha Pals and 35Ancient Technology from Tower Bosses.

Further Technology Technology Points and Ancient Technology Ancient Technology Points can be earned from Technical Manuals, available from various sources (including loot and merchants), each of which grant a specific number of one of the two types of points when consumed.

Certain technologies have pre-requisites before they can be unlocked, requiring either a specific Tower to have been defeated, or a specific Pal Labor Research Laboratory to have been completed. Once the pre-requisites are fulfilled, the technology can be unlocked as normal. Technologies that have an unfulfilled pre-requisite note this on the technology tree with a red banner noting what the specific pre-requisite for that technology is.
