Tech tree

Tech trees are how you learn new recipes. There are six tech trees, each representing expertise in a particular specialization: Brewing, Cooking, Farming, and Building, Social, and Magic (the latter two have not yet been implemented). Each node on a tech tree is a Talent. Talents are acquired by spending Physical, Mental, and Nature skill points, although some of the trees give you a free talent to start with. Skill points are gained by using your talents: by brewing drinks, cooking food, harvesting crops, and building furniture.

Skill points are shown in the Tech Tree page, and pop up below the Open/Closed sign when gained: red for physical, blue for mental, and green for nature.
