== [[File:Symbol Idea.png|32px|middle|link=]] Types of Technologies ==

'''Shelter''' technologies are where Braves are spawned, and the only way to increase a village's population capacity. They usually consume [[Materials#Food|Food]] to produce one Brave, and must be occupied by at least one Brave to produce.

==== Clay Huts ====

}}

'''Food''' technologies are essential for the growth of a village, since they provide [[Materials#Food|the consumable Material]] needed to produce [[Units#Brave|Braves]].

==== Crop Row ====

| encyclopedia=Reliable and consistent, bakes inedible Reeds into delicious Food.

| desc=The Bakery is able to produce [[Materials#Food|Food]] from [[Materials#Reeds|Reeds]], which is most commonly the most abundant Material available.

| encyclopedia=A hermit's hut who scavenges for food and random resources.

| desc=The Foraging Hut is one of only a few structures that can produce more than one Material at a time; namely, both [[Materials#Food|Food]] and any other [[Materials#Random Resource|random resource]], including those that must be crafted or otherwise are unavailable in the Biome. This can be very useful for certain tasks that only need a small number of a given Material, such that it might be a waste to spend an entire Resources Inspiration to get access to that Material. Additionally, placing the Foraging Hut in an area dense with resources (of any kind) speeds up its production.

| encyclopedia=Produces two dishes from a single fish.

| desc=Fishmongers are an incredibly powerful Technology, because they can take any type of Food (despite the description in the [[Encyclopedia (in-game)|Encyclopedia]]) and return two Meals, which do not degrade.

| desc=Once a [[Beasts#Snail|Snail]] has been tamed, it can be assigned to an Egg Harvester where it will produce [[Materials#Food|Food]] regularly.

'''Resources''' technologies allow you to build structures that produce [[Materials]]. Some Resources technologies can produce without any input, but many consume Materials to produce something else.

==== Silk Loom ====

| encyclopedia=Slowly but reliably produce silk Fabric.

| desc=The Canvas Press produces [[Materials#Fabric|Fabric]] from nothing, however it will stop producing if the Fabric goes unused.

| mats={{Material|Bamboo}} {{Material|Bamboo}}

| prod={{Material|Fabric}}

| encyclopedia=Produce Canvas Fabric from Reeds in abundance.

| desc=The Canvas Press produces a lot of [[Materials#Fabric|Paper]] from just one unit of [[Materials#Reeds|Reeds]], however it will stop producing if the Paper goes unused.

| mats={{Material|Clay}} {{Material|Bamboo}}

| consume={{Material|Reeds}}

| encyclopedia=Slowly produce potent Blastpowder from the sand below.

| desc=The Blastpowder Distillery is one of only a few ways to reliably produce [[Materials#Blastpowder|Blastpowder]]. As an attachment, its production speed is somewhat slow, and the Distillery can only produce one unit of Blastpowder at a time. However, it can be affected by properties and abilities that improve attachment speed.

| consume={{Material|Logs}}

==== Sprout Shades ====

'''Development''' technologies are ones that can help your village as a whole, either by providing a support bonus or providing other functionality that doesn't fit into other categories. Diplomatic technologies are also in this section.

==== Watchtower ====

| encyclopedia=Attached to a house and increases the max health of anyone spawned from that house.

| desc=Saunas multiply the health of any new [[Units#Brave|Brave]] spawned from the attached house by 1.5×, making them more effective in combat. The Sauna is one of only two technologies that still allow Braves to spawn from the attached house, instead of overriding their production.

| place=Attachment

==== Incense Diffuser ====

'''Beast''' technologies are specific to captured [[Beasts]]; either built directly on the Beast or otherwise utilizing a Beast to produce Materials. Note that some Beast-related structures, such as the [[Technologies#Egg Harvester|Egg Harvester]], are listed in other categories but can appear with Beast Inspiration if the prerequisite Beast is tamed.

==== Beast Saddle ====

==== Mastadon Kiln ====

'''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.

==== Baskets ====

==== Stone Focus ====

'''Protection''' technologies are specific to keeping your village, its people, and the Materials within it safe from climate hazards (such as fire).

==== Windmill ====

==== Warding Lanterns ====

'''Movement''' technologies change the way your [[Units]] can traverse the Biome, as well as modifying the surfaces available to build structures on.

==== Canoe Dock ====

==== Pillar Paths ====

'''Combat''' technologies create combat [[Units]] capable of more effectively resolving disputes the hard way with your neighbors (or Beasts).

==== Archery Range ====

==== Seamine ====

'''Festivals''' are some of the most important Technologies available to discover, and can only be discovered at certain fixed points. After a certain number of other Technologies is discovered, a Festival Inspiration will appear above the [[Technologies#Campfire Hearth|Hearth]] and your [[Thinkers|Thinker]] will automatically return to it (if not commanded to do otherwise). Only four Festivals are available to discover during each Challenge: three unique to each Thinker, and one Festival that will complete the Challenge.

==== Log Bonfire ====

| encyclopedia=A hermit's hut that scavenges for food and one chosen resource.

| desc=Unlike the [[Technologies#Foraging Hut|Foraging Hut]], the Specific Foraging Hut produces [[Materials#Food|Food]] and any one specific resource chosen by the player. All other features and properties remain the same.

==== Climbing Mushroom Log ====

The Technologies in this category don't fall into any of the above, and don't necessarily follow the same rules as other Technologies.
