changedAll research takes place in the laboratory, a special building within your settlement. As you complete important research milestones, the lab will be automatically upgraded with the latest technology. You can only have one laboratory in your settlement, and your workers will carry resources there and use them to perform the currently selected research. More complex research topics can be a massive drain on your worker’s time and your settlement’s resources, so make sure you don’t neglect your defences or economy as you chase after more advanced technologies.
changedYou can select the technology you want your workers to research from the tech tree. Your progression towards the current research is always visible on-screen and is accompanied by various sounds and alerts to keep you up-to-date on your progress. Below is an partially-obscured overview of the tech tree (as of the time of posting). The tree starts at Basic Technology and the 5 milestone technologies are visible around it. Technologies require certain prerequisite technologies to be researched as well as a milestone technology denoted by their border.
addedEvery Wednesday we’re taking a look at a different aspect of the game - next week we’ll be looking at the strange worldour people have found themselves in - The Wilderness . The game will be released later this year, with the exact release date to be announced in two weeks time .
