Nightwater Technology Guide
Nightwater's official technology arc runs from primitive tools through the Bronze Age and Industrial Era into future technology. Treat those as broad orientation and read the actual unlock panel for your next machine or craft. Steam does not publish a complete prerequisite graph. Resources, region access and minigame rewards each offer progression, so choose the next technology by the obstacle it removes rather than by a guessed era checklist.

Turn early unlocks into steady supply
Resource milestones expose useful options; a connected supply line makes them practical to use repeatedly.
Read Bronze and industrial entries directly
An era name does not establish a metal recipe or machine set. Compare each visible prerequisite with the material your factory can supply.
Link late progress to the current goal
Keep a record of the condition that opened each option. Do not assume visiting a new region automatically unlocks an entire age.
Put the plan to work
Choose an automation, exploration, milestone, minigame or story priority and receive a transparent suggested focus order.
