Thomas' Tech Trees

AI Tree (Costs money to integrate):

>Localized Assistive Node Array (LANA): A miniaturized copy of RON that is hooked into the suit. Doesn't require service to operate. Will provide HUD and advice on the situation. Communicates with RON if possible. COST: $30,000

(Install AARON to unlock)

>Micro-Actuator Node (MAN): AI designed specifically to interface with and utilize the Micro-Actuators efficiently.  COST: $20,000



Armor Tree (Costs money to integrate):

>Hyper-Hydraulics: Use compounded Micro-Actuators to increase armor lifting capabilities to 2 tons. COST: $10,000

>Nano-Cloth: Nano-armor that has been reduced in size and increased in wearability by miniaturization. Has the appearance of liquid armor to an untrained eye. COST: $50,000

>Increased Capacity: Add a slot to an armor piece. COST: $20,000



Beams Tree:

>Improved Stun Beam: The Stun Beam can now take down a small elephant if need be.

>Boom Beam: Not really a beam, but a concentrated burst of vibration to disorient and repel foes.

>Heat Beam: Do I really need to explain this? It can be used for welding.



Biology Tree:

>Genome Insertion Refining: Maybe Bio-Meld could allow splicing of multiple genomes?

(Investigate Gene Therapy to unlock)

>Bio-Electricity: Research Bio-Electricity for use in future tech.



Business Tree (Costs money, Tech Point to unlock the action):

>Marketing Campaign: Market your products to the masses to increase sales. Cost: $50,000  Effect: High

>Car Show: Spend time and money making Cairnsium-powered cars and a showcase to launch them as a product. Loses effect with repetition. Cost: $100,000  Effect: Extremely High

>Foundation First: Allows you to buy factories and the employees to run them. Will subtract from profit for a bit during and after start-up. Cost:$500,000  Revenue/month:+$100,000



NanoTech Tree:

>Cicadas: Trackable nanomachines, transmit a signal through ultra-high frequencies

>Bend Maneuver: The nanomachines use joints cohesively to flex their structures in constructs, allowing flexibility

(Build WASP Bots to unlock)


Power Tree (Has Catastrophe Risks to roll over, in which crits do not count):

>Cairnsium Circuit: Cairnsium reacts positively to proximity to itself, let's use it! CR:25

>Cairnsium Public Use: Cairnsium has been proven to be safe, maybe the city will accept it as a power source. CR:40

>Potential Energy Power?: You've never really thought to investigate HOW the Potential engine exactly works...  CR:30


Artificial Supers Tree:

>Strange Blast: That blast supposedly caused Supers. Maybe I could replicate that?

>Ancient Secret: Sage mentioned something in Tibet, maybe a field trip is in order?

(Perform Genome Analysis to continue this line.)


Magitech Tree:

[Magitech works by choosing an activation condition, a primary rune (target), and a secondary rune (effect)]
[Thomas' current Runes can be found here: http://pastebin.com/Q1RXgqJ3]

>Basic Ward: A ward that could be broken by any skilled mage, but would activate other runes attached to it.

>Rune (Stop): A secondary rune that imposes the condition "stop" on the primary rune

>Rune (Enemy): A primary rune that targets a single person who you consider an enemy
