However, as you play more they become one of the most important aspects of the game.
Duplicants require good living conditions.
To do it, you will need two buildings from theStationstab:Research StationandSuper Computer.
They will enable you to unlock more technologies by using points.
There are three types of points in the game.
The basic ones are obtained for 100kg of Sandstrone.
Intermediate are obtained for 25kg of water and advanced are obtained through theCommand Capsule.
Currently, the game features a bug that makes it impossible to obtain the latter.
The basic technologies cost 15 regular points.
Cost of each next technology gradually increases.
(1)The first tree is the most important branch of survival - food gathering.
There are two branches here.
The shorter one is Farming and the longer one is Ranching.
Farming enables you to grow plants that are mostly used for obtaining food.
Ranching focuses on breeding animals that can be tamed if you have a duplicant with a special skill.
Ranching is definitely more effective and advanced method of obtaining food than farming.
Ranching also enables you to obtain derived products that will be useful in future versions of the game.
Before expanding one of the branches, you will unlock the ability to create meals with a special machine.
(2)The second tree is focused on energy gathering.
It is one of the two longest trees in the game.
Here you will first unlock automated ways of gathering energy like Coal Generator.

These technologies enable you to create a fully automated system of gathering and managing energy.
(3)The third one is focused on duplicants, their work, and gathering new resources.
Here it’s possible for you to unlock Advanced Research, Skill Board, Metal Rafinery.
You should invest into this tree as it enables you to greatly speed up the development of your colony.
(4)Number four is focused on medicine and health.
It is one of the shortest trees.
Here it’s possible for you to unlock buildings like Apothecary, Sick bay, and Hand Sanitizer.
With this tree you will secure the health of your duplicants and avoid them getting sick.
(5)Here you will find technologies related to hydraulics and liquid transportation.
You should develop it when you have surplus of liquids or a remote water tank.
One of the more complicated technology.
(6)Ventillation is another complicated technology.
You should develop it simultenously with hydraulics as they both meet each other in the final technology - Jetpack.
This technology is hard to control, especially on your first try.
(7)Decorations enable you ti improve morale of the duplicants.
Here, you will unlock various furniture, decorations, and stations for sculpturing and painting.
Lamps will be needed when growing some plants.
