Engineering Research Paper Advanced

A document containing important research information. Used to discover new skills at the research table.

Notes

An advanced research paper used at the Research Table to unlock mid-to-late-game skill books and upgrades. It is a key ingredient for many advanced specialties (such as Advanced Cooking, Composites, Electronics, and Oil Drilling) as well as Basic Upgrade 4 — so stocking a supply of these papers in town stores can accelerate a settlement’s technological progression.
