Doloc Town Tech Path

Filter by tree. Read prerequisites and what unlocks next. Sum the point types. Agricultural points come from planting. Industrial points come from crafting and machines. Life points come from life crafts — Tool Operation is not a farming point. Animal stays locked until the shed quest. 81 nodes are live on the trees. Names that never appear in the game stay out of the table.

Week-one path: Agricultural Basics → wooden basin → resin line toward sprinklers. Industrial Basics → smelter when ore appears. Living Basics → pot. Stop. Make money. Then Gene 101 if you want the gene toys, Commander only when steel or titanium and the upgraded generator are real. Tech tier list splits unlocks from furniture. How to play wants that first Field Study on the basin, not furniture. You cannot refund points.

Duplicating a shop copper pickaxe. Spending Nurturing Animals before Kenenimuu. Hoarding 8–12 points for a late mixed node while basins are empty. Buying farm expansion at 5,000 before backpack 1 at 500 because a video said “bigger plot.” Expansion is gold, not a node, and this warning covers it too. Indoor Planting is for acid, not day-one S. Wind power is A after batteries. Solar-only dies at night. Aquaculture tanks are after dock Kelp has paid for the house.
