Technologies
The technologies of Kainga are normally passed down from one generation to the next, but Thinkers have the unique ability to capture ideas from the past at illuminated sites of inspiration.
— Kainga Encyclopedia
Technologies form the core of a town. They are granted to a Thinker via Ideas, found around the map as Inspiration.
Discovering Technologies
Technologies can be discovered by sending a Thinker to Inspiration, floating orbs of light that contain Ideas. A beam of light also rises into the sky, aiding in finding Inspiration. A Thinker can think at Inspiration to discover a technology associated with that Inspiration.
Each Inspiration will have an icon associated with the type of technology its Idea can provide. When a player has their Thinker selected, these icons will be visible anywhere on the map.
Types of Technologies

Clay Huts are a basic Shelter that can be useful to kick-start a town. Because of its Eagerness property, getting a reliable food supply is less of an immediate priority. However, Clay Huts are vulnerable to almost all weather, don't provide very much population, and can't use attachments.

Thatched Huts can be useful because they are cheap to build (assuming Reeds are in abundance) and occasionally Brave production is free. They are, however, very vulnerable to fires.

Log Tents are the most robust of the small Shelters, boasting protection against three out of four elements. Log Tents are most useful because they provide the Sharpened Axes passive Technology, which can be very beneficial for warring villages.
