Overview

Science is a big category. It's mostly focused toward industrialists and other researching types. Training in a skill required to make an item will reduce construction time, and increase invention success probability. Most skills will also have a set of Tech 2, Tech 3, or Capital components that require that skill. For most categories, the corresponding items for skills are derived from the in-game "Required For" tab for the skill, which may be significantly inaccurate. Please consult a blueprint's skill requirements to confirm which skills are needed.

All attributes except for Perception are important to learning scientific skills.
