Welcome, players, to the first article of vJahan’s exciting journey! As pioneers of this virtual universe, you are about to embark on a path filled with discovery, strategy, and growth.

For now, let us guide you through the cornerstone of your adventure: the Tech Tree feature.

The Tech Tree feature is an exciting tool designed to help players unlock and develop new technologies step by step. By navigating the tech tree, you can systematically progress through various advancements and gain new abilities to enhance your experience. Interestingly, this feature was originally conceptualized as an incomplete addition to the ePhoenix game in 2012, and we are proud to finally bring it to life now.

Each user starts with 5 Research Points (RP), and they will receive 50 RP upon unlocking the first blueprint, making it easy to advance through the initial stages. Research Points are earned every hour and capped at your max points level. This starts at 10 and can be increased to 15 by unlocking specific blueprints. Every core action in the game depends on unlocking blueprints, making the tech tree central to your success.

To unlock a blueprint, players must complete two steps: the Research phase and the Development phase. First, fund the blueprint using your RP in the Research phase. After funding, you’ll need to spend the required item in the Development phase to finalize the unlock.

If the required item is an industry product (like Food, Juice, or Weapons), the game calculates the "Units" needed, where Units represent the total quality levels of the contributed items. For example, a 3-star item contributes 3 Units. Units are the sum of the items’ quality levels. If you exceed the required units, you’ll receive a bonus item as a reward for your excess contribution. For example, if a blueprint requires 8 Units of Food and you have 2 x 5-star foods in your inventory, you’ll receive a 2-star Food item for the additional 2 Units.

As you unlock blueprints, more advanced technologies and abilities become available. Each new step in the tech tree brings you closer to achieving your goals and improving your gameplay experience.

Access the "Tech Tree" menu in-game to start exploring and advancing. Select a blueprint, fund it with your RP, provide the required items, and watch your capabilities grow. Dive in now and unlock your full potential!

Please note: The Tech Tree is currently a beta feature, and it may change over time as we refine and improve your experience. Your feedback plays a crucial role in shaping these changes, so let us know your thoughts to help make the feature even better!
