All Research Upgrades in Solarpunk – Blueprints and Research Table

by

Solarpunk’s progression system revolves around research upgrades unlocked through the Research Table and Blueprints obtained from the Tradebot. Most new buildings, decorations, and technologies become available through research, and each upgrade requires specific materials before it can be unlocked.

Below is a complete list of all currently available research upgrades from both the Research Table and the Tradebot Blueprint system in Solarpunk.
