Rules
Rules that prevent bad research math
Higher tiers replace lower tiers
Fast Workers (+10%), Mass Production (+15%), Smart Factories (+25%), and Automation (+50%) are replacement tiers, not additive bonuses.
Automation is gated by the production chain
Automation sits behind Fast Workers, Mass Production, and Smart Factories in this model. Treat it as a late economy commitment, not an early rush.
Storage upgrades are absolute capacity jumps
Logistic Depot moves Storage Center capacity from 5,000 to 15,000. Warehouse then moves it from 15,000 to 45,000.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many technologies are in the Mini War tech tree?
Fandom lists 70 technologies with a combined research cost of $20,091,856,000 across Military, Economy, and Systems branches. The public named rows currently expose 69 named technologies that sum to the same total cost.
What should I research first in Mini War?
Fast Workers and Army Training are the safest first picks. Both unlock in 30 seconds, create immediate value, and open high-value follow-up paths.
Do Fast Workers, Mass Production, and Smart Factories stack?
No. Higher-tier percentage upgrades replace lower-tier versions. Smart Factories gives +25%, not +10% + +15% + +25%.
How do I unlock Automation?
Automation requires the Production Speed chain first: Fast Workers, Mass Production, and Smart Factories. Its research time is 24 hours and it replaces lower farm-output bonuses with +50%.
How long does the full tech tree take?
The longest single research is Antimatter at 72 hours, followed by Mech Research, Rocket Limit II, and Area 51 Research at 48 hours. Full completion usually takes weeks because cost, sequence, and research capacity gate progress.
