How to read this table

Four trees, four currencies. Agricultural spends Field Study from planting. Industrial spends from crafting and machines. Life spends from life crafts — Tool Operation is not a planting point. Animal stays locked until you build the Small Livestock Shed and finish Kenenimuu’s tutorial. 81 nodes are live on the trees. Names that never appear in the game stay out of the table.

Agricultural Basics is the wooden basin. Living Basics plus Cooking I is Mixed Endfoods. Industrial Basics is the smelter when ore appears. Basic Irrigation is thirst, not acid — protect still wants Keratinized at 0.45. Commander is a midgame industrial node for bots after steel or titanium and the upgraded generator. Do not duplicate a copper pickaxe node when the outpost already sells the tool. You cannot refund points. Spend like there is none.

Doors versus wallpaper

How to play wants T → Agricultural Basics on day one. Early game wants backpack gold before farm expansions at 5,000 / 25,000 / 65,000 / 150,000. Automation takes over when electric sprinklers and station bots join. Gene planner waits on Gene 101. Indoor Planting is for acid, not week-one S. Wind and solar want batteries; solar-only still dies at night. Aquaculture tanks are after dock Kelp has paid for the house.

Related pages: equipment for the machine the node unlocks, recipes for the pot, animals if the Animal filter looks empty — the shed is the S door. Search indexes names, not tech titles. This catalog lists every node. The path tool is the walk. The tier list is the argument about this week’s node.

Frequently asked questions

How many nodes can I walk?

81 nodes you can walk on the tree. Thirteen names never appear in the game.

What should I unlock first?

Agricultural Basics, wooden basin, then Industrial smelter when you have ore. See the tech tier list.

Can I refund tech points?

You cannot refund points. Spend like there is none.

Why is the Animal tree empty?

It is gated on the shed quest. How to get names that door.

Is Commander week-one?

No. Midgame industrial cost: steel or titanium and the upgraded generator.

81 versus 94 names?

81 nodes you can walk. Thirteen names never appear in the game, so they stay off this table.

First Field Study?

Agricultural Basics for the wooden basin. How to play wants that, not furniture.

Does this catalog refund a node?
