Это’прошло много времени с тех пор, как мы’ve released our Research Tree update, but we wanted to revisit it with this post and give a more detailed guide on how the Research Tree works. Это’s massive, and looking at it with unfamiliar eyes may cause joy of anticipation, a feeling of exploration but also panic.
Мы не’t want the last one to happen because of our game, so here goes the guide for the Research Tree.
What is the Research Tree?
Research Tree allows you to, да, research more buildings for your Empire but also upgrade already researched buildings. Он имеет 3 Уровни, and Tiers I and II are unlockable from the beginning of the game, and getting access to Tier III requires you to build a University in any of your cities.
The research Tab is located in the menu at the bottom of your screen and looks like this:
Click it and the world of wonder and innovation will open to you.
You can use the Research Tree to upgrade all non-city buildings you can build, excluding Special Residencies, они’re powerful on their own. Research Tree includes different Tiers of Research, and each building on every Tier also has additional upgrades.
Research Tiers and When to reach them
Позволять’s go through the Tiers.
Уровень I has all the buildings you need for the Early Game. Фермы, Склады, and a Transport Company. Some of them you can use from the start, and some of them you need to Research first. If you stay on this comfortable and easy Tier though, you probably won’t be able to become the most feared/loved, and powerful Capo in the world of Cartel Tycoon.
To get to Tier II, you need to unlock it first by clicking the big “II” on the Research Tree. Doing that takes some of your hard-earned Legal Money but also grants you the ability to research Tier II itself. И это’s where it gets a bit trickier. With the Research Tree Update, мы’ve introduced a non-linear research progression. До этого, you needed to research, например, Farm I to get access to Farm II, and you needed to research that to get access to Farm III. We thought it wasn’t very fun and engaging so we made the Research Tree an actual tree, not a straight line. So now you have multiple “филиалы” to reach the desired research destination.
The same goes for Tier III. Click the big “III” кнопка, а ты’хорошо идти. You also may notice that you can’t research upgrades to River Piers – они’re obtainable through the Story Mode and the “That Sinking Feeling” кампания, which I highly recommend you to play.
Where to research from there?
And now for Building upgrades, They differ between building categories. Например, producing buildings as Farms and Plantations will be able to produce and store more products in a shorter time when upgraded.
Logistics buildings like Transport Company and Warehouse will have more trucks, хранилище, и связи (or a bigger radius) доступный.
”Но, сэр, why would I ever-ever need to upgrade to the next Tier of the Research Tree, if I can just upgrade my Farm I with all the cool things like capacity and speed?”
Аааа, конечно, ты можешь! Оно выиграло’t be as good as Farm II, но это’s also a strategy you can implement. But as your empire, your needs, and your money and production volumes will rise, ты’ll still feel that it’s not enough and will find the need to upgrade!
Если только ты’re doing SL1, no Research, any% speedrun, конечно. Ой, упс, неправильная игра.

The other important thing is – дон’t forget about Lieutenants! Почему? Because some of them can give you free Research Upgrades as long as they’re in your Cartel. That can be especially helpful in the early game when you don’t have enough money to research everything you want, and your Lieutenants will come to the rescue.
We built the Research Tree with that in mind – with the idea of giving players more freedom and multiple ways to make their empire better and more fine-tuned. Конечно, if the Research Tree changes in any way, форма, or form in the future, I will update this guide with the new information!
I hope it was useful, and now you won’t get stuck in the Research Tree again! Удачи, Capos, and see you on the lands of Cartel Tycoon.
