    • Level 1
      • Tool Manufacturing [Diff:2]
    • Level 2
      • Chemical Manufacturing [Diff:2] - Allows production of basic chemicals
        • ...
        • Level 5
          • Advanced Chemical Manufacturing [Diff:??]

    • Level 3
      • Biotech Manufacturing [Diff:??]
      • Clothing and Safety Gear Manufacturing [Diff:??]
      • Electronic Manufacturing [Diff:??]
    • ...

Administration

  • Administration [Diff:2] - Allows Machine Administration
    • Level 1
    • Level 2
      • Containment Tech [Diff:??]
    • ...

Research

  • Basic Science [Diff:1]
    • Level 1
      • Mathematics [Diff:2] - Theoretical Mathematics
    • Level 2

Training Skills

Skills in Seed are trained over time, although they may also be boosted by the use of Inspirations. Training time is calcuated according the following formula:

Training Time = Difficulty Time x 2 ^ (Current skill level)

...where Difficulty Time is determined according to the following table:

  • Difficulty 1 - 10 minutes
  • Difficulty 2 - 80 minutes
  • Difficulty 3 - ?? minutes
  • ...

So for instance, to train Administration Level 2 (Diff: 2) it will take:

80min x 2 ^ 1 = 160min (2h40m) 

To train Administration Level 4 (Diff: 2) it will take:

80min x 2 ^ 3 = 640min (10h40m)
