Skills by category |
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.
The following are the skills in the Science section (in alphabetical order):
