About This Guide
This guide was created in the hopes of aiding new players in understanding the current research and technologies available in the game.

Research
Researching Technologies allows the player to create new and more advanced machinery as well as more advanced resources. Starter technology can be researched directly from your inventory with basic resources and low tier crafted items.

Basic Technology and above requires the use of a Distiller and creating Essence which is then used in the Foldery. Research requiring multiple essences requires them all to be present in the Foldery at the same time.

Current technology can be viewed from your research screen by using the "T" key
