Tools
| Technology | Level | Effects | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Tool Procurement |
Basic | *Production Efficiency Cap: +5.0% *Production Efficiency growth: +2.5% *Dockyard Output: +2.0% |
Our production facilities need tools — urgently. In order to maintain high production rates and supply our soldiers on time, our leaders have proposed two solutions: salvaging and simplification. Prioritising our salvaging teams would enable us to find and equip our workforce with the best tools available, whilst concentrating on simplifications in tool design would enable mass production of necessary equipment. |
Is necessary to start the Tool Scavenging and Tool Production research lines. |
Tool Scavenging
| Technology | Level | Effects | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Scavenged Tools |
Basic | *Production Efficiency Cap: +10.0% *Production Efficiency growth: +3.0% *Dockyard Output: +3.0% |
Prospectors and armed guards can be sent out in search of salvageable pre-war factories, bags in hand, to strip their interiors of any and all useful equipment. Dead men need no tools. With these tarnished pre-war implements at their disposal, our craftsmen can make superior equipment out of more durable materials. | ---

 Quadrant Searching |
Basic | *Production Efficiency Cap: +10.0% *Production Efficiency growth: +3.0% *Dockyard Output: +3.0% |
Rather than searching sites of interest as they please, our prospectors can instead adopt a search tactic used prominently by pre-war investigators. Splitting large areas up into numerous smaller quadrants, each prospector can now search their zone for salvage in an orderly fashion. This turns larger areas into manageable smaller chunks: making for efficient and productive scavenging. | --- |

 Improvised Tools |
Basic | *Production Efficiency Cap: +7.0% *Production Efficiency growth: +2.5% *Dockyard Output: +2.0% |
Using our basic understanding of toolmaking, we can use the materials in the immediate environment of our workshops to improvise basic tools on the fly. While the results are hardly impressive; using scrap metal knives, rebar clubs, and other basic tools is much more effective than simply using our hands for everything. | ---

|---|---|---|---|---|
 Work as Needed |
Basic | *Recruitable Population Factor: +2.0% *Max Factories in a State: +12.0% *Factory Output: +8.0% *Dockyard Output: +3.0% |
Working based on demands and not quotas provides numerous advantages.
