Technologies/Passive: Difference between revisions

'''Passive''' Technologies are ones that can't be built, but can affect gameplay in other ways. They can be found either through Passive Inspiration or by opting-out of any other inspiration type and selecting a Passive instead.

== Rattan Hats ==

| image=Tech Passive RattanHats.png

| tech=Rattan Hats

| chance=3.1

| encyclopedia=Braves get rain hats so they can still work while rained on.

| desc=Rattan Hats allow [[Units#Brave|Braves]] to continue to work, even while being rained on. This can be helpful in Biomes with a lot of rain, or in combination with Thinkers whose Festivals promote rainfall. Rattan Hats is provided for free with the [[#Rattan Home|Rattan Home]] and [[Thinkers#Charnushka|Charnushka]]'s B-side.

== Sharpened Axes ==

| image=Tech Passive Sharpened Axes.png

| tech=Sharpened Axes

| chance=1.9

| encyclopedia=Doubles Braves' damage and chopping speed.

| desc=Sharpened Axes is a very useful passive Technology for warring villages, as well as those with a lot of [[Materials#Logs|Log]]-based Technologies. [[Units#Brave|Braves]] dealing double damage very nearly makes combat trivial, though they do not have any of the specific advantages other combat-specific units do. Sharpened Axes is provided for free by [[#Log Tents|Log Tents]] and [[Thinkers#Garam|Garam]]'s A-side.

| tech=Structure Safety

| group=Group 2

| chance=1.9

| encyclopedia=Allows structures to be placed half over the edge of cliffs.

| desc=Structure Safety is very helpful when combined with large footprint Technologies, as it allows up to half of their footprint to be built off the edge of a cliff or slope. Structure Safety is provided for free by [[#Potala Mansion|Potala Mansions]] and [[Thinkers#Sumac|Sumac]]'s A-side.

== Incense ==

| image=Tech Passive Incense.png

| tech=Incense

| rarity=Common

| chance=3.1

| encyclopedia=Increases movement speed within your campfire's radius.

| desc=Incense increases your [[Units#Brave|Braves']] walking speed by 1.5× while they are standing inside the territory controlled by your [[#Campfire Hearth|Hearth]]. This does ''not'' include any additional territory added through [[#Resource Totem|Totems]]. Braided Rope is provided for free with [[Thinkers#Kala %26 Jeera|Kala & Jeera]]'s A-side.

== Wooden Nails ==

| image=Tech Passive Wooden Nails.png

| tech=Wooden Nails

| encyclopedia=Structures are constructed as fast as you can acquire the resources.

| desc=Wooden Nails enable structures to be built very quickly, since [[Units#Brave|Braves]] don't need to stand at the structure and hammer before retrieving [[Materials]]. However, taking maximum advantage of this technology requires a little bit of micromanagement, since Braves will still hammer a few times before fetching Materials. Wooden Nails is provided for free with [[Thinkers#Achiote|Achiote]]'s A-side.

| karma=3

| chance=2.2

| encyclopedia=Replace all Reeds construction Materials with Bamboo.

| desc=Bamboo Focus causes all [[Materials#Reeds|Reeds]] used in construction to be replaced with [[Materials#Bamboo|Bamboo]]. This does ''not'' include Reeds used for production (such as the [[#Bakery|Bakery]]). Structures that use Bamboo instead of Reeds will have stronger resistance to damage from rainfall.

 

Note that replacement technologies like this can conflict with those that replace [[Materials#Chosen Walls|Chosen Wall]] or [[Materials#Chosen Roof|Chosen Roof]] Materials, with varying unusual side-effects.

| desc=Snail Bridles add a button to the selection UI of a tamed [[Beasts#Snail|Snail]], letting you manually have them spit. This can be useful to turn soil into green grass tiles, but not very useful for fighting fires (since the Snail will automatically spit on active fires).
