Unlock ladder

Ninety technologies sit behind thirteen tier unlocks, spread over two separate ladders. Pick a stage to see what it opens - and everything you have to research before you can stand there.

Database

Research Tree

All 90 technologies with their real unlock paths - what each research costs, which tier opens it, and where you research it.

90 technologies at the Research Table, arranged in two trees. Seven are available from the start; the rest cost research points, and 22 of them also need a Blueprint traded from the Merchant.

Open a node to see what it unlocks, what it costs and which node has to come first.

How Unlocking Works
  1. Build a Research Table and interact with it: six researches are available there right away. Every research costs the items shown on its card - they are taken straight from your inventory when you research.
  2. Each 'Unlock Tier' research opens the next batch of technologies. The Research Table ladder has eight stages, labeled Tier 2 through Tier 8 - the final stage is labeled 'Tier 8' a second time in-game.
  3. Energy tech does not appear at the Research Table. Repair the Electronics Trade Station on the Tiny Start island and research the energy tree there - starting with the 'Energy Workbench' research (the seventh starter), with its own Tier 2-5 ladder.

The Progression page shows both tier ladders with every unlock cost at a glance.
