Contents

Cost

See Technology Cost for a discussion.

AI Interests

Each technology has four values that correspond to the four interests for AI factions. These values also determine the likelihood of discovering a tech under Blind Research for human players with focuses set. Their in-game designations vary slightly from how they are referred to in code:

alpha(x) Code Interest
ai-power Conquer
ai-tech Discover
ai-wealth Build
ai-growth Growth

See individual technology pages for their values, or in alpha(x).txt in the TECHNOLOGY section.

Unlocking Technologies

Certain technologies unlock various features or lift resource limits. These are set in the RULES section of alpha(x).txt.

Technology Effect
Centauri Psi Allows improvements in fungus squares
Centauri Psi Eases movement in fungus squares
Centauri Empathy Allows roads in fungus squares
Neural Grafting Allows 2 special abilities for a unit
Gene Splicing Lifts nutrient resource cap; allows +3 nutrients per square
Ecological Engineering Lifts mineral resource cap; allows +3 minerals per square
Environmental Economics Lifts energy resource cap; allows +3 energy per square
Graviton Theory Allows orbital insertions without The Space Elevator
Adv. Ecological Engineering Adds +1 mineral to mining platform output
Planetary Economics Unlocks Victory_(Economic)

Social Engineering Models

Social Engineering models are unlocked by various technologies. See Social_Engineering#Society_Models or the SOCIO section of alpha(x).txt.

Planetary Council Proposals

Technologies also unlock most proposals for the Planetary Council. See the Diplomacy#Planetary_Council section of the Diplomacy page or PROPOSALS in alpha(x).txt.

Technology Effects

Certain technologies have other effects set by flags on a per tech basis.

  • Fungus Nutrients, Minerals, and Energy increase the amount of those resources produced by fungus squares.
  • Gene Def increases base resistance to Genetic Warfare.
  • Gene War enables the Genetic Warfare probe action.
  • Map reveals the map.
  • Commerce increases commerce income.
  • Probe increases Probe Team morale.
  • Secrets technologies grant an additional free technology to the first faction to discover them.
