Tech Webs

What are Tech Webs?

Tech webs refer to the research options on the Core R&D console, named due to the normal view look in the technology section of the console. Each technology section will require being unlocked, will unlock a new section, or will be both. The normal view allows you to see this with the use of arrows and images.
