Talk:Tech Tree

If someone knows how to format this spreadsheet, could we include a column for "Level Available"... would cut down on run time checking universities that have nothing ready for you yet. ~~thanks.

This page is designed to show the path needed to reach a certain technology, to make it available for research. Check the Levels page for information on which techs are available at each level. If you want to know what techs are available in each region, try the Research by Region page, or check the individual research pages for each region.

Comment about Fine Casting (Bastet): In Shabbat Ab, Fine Casting is available for research, however Basic Chem isn't open there. The tech tree shows that both Adv Metallurgy and Basic Chem are required. This is incorrect for Bastet, and presumably the main shard.

Basic Chemistry is listed as a materials requirement (column 4) for Fine Casting, not a prerequisite to list it for donation (column 3). Fine Casting requires donation of powdered gems, which means that somewhere in Egypt, Basic Chem must be open (to allow construction of chem labs, where gems can be powdered.) It does not mean that Basic Chem must be open in the region working on the tech. Hope that helps. --Shebi 16:52, 3 May 2010 (EST)
