Field of Study

A field of study is a broad area of related technologies. Opening a field of study for research allows you to develop or refine technologies in that field. Dependencies exist between fields of study, representing First Empire's tech tree.

States
There are three states for a field of study: not visible, closed, and open for research. If a field of study is opened for research, then all its constituent technologies are potential research targets. If a field of study is closed, you are able to see it and you can open it for research but you cannot immediately research any of its technologies. If a field of research is not visible, then one of its dependencies is not opened for research.

Technologies
Each field of study has one or more technology in it. Typically, there is more than one but there are no limits. Technically, a field could have no technologies although, as of October 15, 2015, this is not the case.
