Technology tree | Technology Tree Endless Space Guide

Next important element of the game is our race Technology Tree. It contains everything you use during exploration, developing planets, systems, fleets, diplomacy and trade options.

Tree is divided on four main directions:

	GALACTIC WARFARE - mainly ships modules (offensive and defensive)
	APPLIED SCIENCES - mainly technologies connected with strategic resources and support modules for fleet. Generating Research Points also.
	EXPLORATION & EXPANSION - mainly technologies referring to colonization and adaption of particular types of planets. Generating Industry Points also.
	DIPLOMACY & TRADING - mainly technologies connected with making Food Points and Dust. Working up the diplomatic options also.

Full Technology Tree

Every technology costs some amount of Research Points which are generated in your systems. Their amount is visible on the Empire Management screen.

The more Research Points planets generate, the faster you'll discover technologies.

You can research at once only one technology. You have to care about balanced development, it's very crucial. You can't stay behind with e.g. economic with overinvesting in warfare, because even the most powerful cannons won't change the fact that you're bankrupt. And other way round: do not spend all research on economy, because sooner or later you'll meet a civilization which will try to military demolish you.

Technologies are marked by the few colors: grey, green, yellow and blue.

• Grey means the technology is undiscovered and unavailable
• Green means the technology currently researching
• Blue means technologies you have researched
• Yellow means the technology is undiscovered, yet available for research

Clicking on the unavailable technology (grey) you can see a chain of researched technologies.

Green technologies belongs to the sequence of researched technologies: it begins at the technology in the frame.

What is more, every race has few unique technologies. They are marked with orange color.

Their uniqueness lies in:

• Increasing bonuses offered by the standard version of the same technology
• Placing this technology in the better place than its standard version, what allows to discover it faster
• Appearing of the technology unavailable for other races
