Technological advancements in Energetica are made possible through research conducted at the laboratory. These technologies are needed to unlock more advanced facilities and offer improvements to specific aspects of your production within the game. Each technology has a unique effect tailored to a particular set of facilities.
Researching technologies involves electricity consumption without direct CO2 emissions. The technology research is carried out by the lab workers and it follows the same principle as the constructions with the construction workers (Construction of a Facility). Consecutive upgrades of the same technology are not parallelizable.
Technology Spillover
The technology spillover effect is a feature that reduces the prices of a certain level of a technology if is has already been researched by other players on the server. For each player that already researched a given level of a technology, the price of this level is reduced by 8% for all players that have not yet researched it.
