{{Version|3.1}}
{{Technav}}
''{{iconify|Engineering}} research'' area is composed mainly of the fields: {{iconify|Industry|21px}}, {{iconify|Materials|21px}}, {{iconify|Propulsion|21px}} and {{iconify|Voidcraft|21px}}.

The area provides access to several key points, including: new ship classes and starbase upgrades, strategic resources reveal, kinetic & explosive weapons, buildable pops, machine modification capabilities, improved mineral production & storage, and more.

== Table usage ==
'''Color indicators:''' {{tech|start|Starter}} , {{tech|acquire|Acquisition}} , {{tech|rare|Rare}} , {{tech|danger|Dangerous}} , {{tech|repeat|Repeatable}} .

'''Notes:'''
# The table shows the default names/icons of techs. Flavor entry is displayed if accompanied by a change to effects/requirements.
# If a tech has been available as a research option in the as part of the last choice then its (total) weight will be '''halved''' in the coming choice.
# The table denotes the ''base cost'' of a tech. Actual in-game tech cost will scale with the empire's size (number of colonized planets and population).
# '''To research techs of higher tiers it is first needed to acquire 6 techs of the preceding tier.'''
# Sorting the table by ''tiers'' will place all {{tech|start|Starter}} tech at the top and {{tech|repeat|Repeatable}} end-game tech at the bottom.
# Most icons also double as links. For more information about an unlocked effect (buildings, components, etc.) click on the accompanying icon.

== Industry ==
{{SVersion|3.1}}
The {{iconify|Industry}} tech tree focuses on {{iconify|Minerals}} production and {{iconify|Mechanical}} pops.
