Description: This is a Simplified SMACX Tech Tree [derived from the excellent Nethog’s SMAC Tech Tree] that show what I (Earthmichael) consider to be the most important early priorities for most factions. All other technologies have been pruned to keep this diagram as simple as possible. Some factions (notably Pirates) may want to research some technolgoies early on that are not on this tree, so for specific factions you may want to add some techs.
The intent is to make it easy for new players to figure out how to get started given the massive complexity of the full tech tree.
I loved my chosen. How then to face the day when she left me? So I took from her body a single cell, perhaps to love her again.
