What this guide covers

Find the target and base effect of each technology.
Separate local research levels from account-wide contributions.
Check caps, conditions and source-version limits before investing.

SECTION 01

How to read this reference

All 18 Human technologies are listed below. Values are base effects per research level before species experience and applicable building amplification. Each effect contributes across the account only to its named target; selection and research levels remain local to each planet.

Ship-stat package = structural integrity, shields, attack, cargo capacity and base speed, not fuel consumption. Civilian ships = Small Cargo, Large Cargo, Colony Ship, Recycler and Espionage Probe, not Pathfinder. Probe cargo depends on universe settings.

Stacking, caps and special cases Read before combining percentages or comparing a displayed final bonus.Population thresholds and unlock builds Find the population and building package for a target slot.

SECTION 02

Tier 1 · slots 1–6

Slot	Research	Base effect per level	Target, condition or limit
T1.1 / 1	Intergalactic Envoys	Discovery unlock at level 1; nominal discovery-flight speed +1%	Discovery missions only. Workbook/Tracker disagree on first-level speed handling; does not improve discovery or artefact odds.
T1.2 / 2	High-Performance Extractors	Metal, crystal and deuterium production +0.06% each	Resource production. Base coefficient, not a percentage of the already-bonused total.
T1.3 / 3	Fusion Drives	Civilian ship base speed +0.5%	Small Cargo, Large Cargo, Colony Ship, Recycler, Espionage Probe. Not Pathfinder.
T1.4 / 4	Stealth Field Generator	Espionage research cost −0.1%; time −0.2%	Espionage Technology only. Target cost cap 50%; time cap 99%.
T1.5 / 5	Orbital Den	Protected resource-den capacity +4%	Protected resource-den capacity, not ordinary warehouse capacity.
T1.6 / 6	Research AI	Regular and Lifeform research time −0.1%	Research time only; no resource-cost reduction. Applicable time cap 99%.

SECTION 03

Tier 2 · slots 7–12

Slot	Research	Base effect per level	Target, condition or limit
T2.1 / 7	High-Performance Terraformer	Terraformer cost and required energy −0.1%; construction time −0.2%	Terraformer only; does not directly add fields. Target cost cap 50%; time cap 99%.
T2.2 / 8	Enhanced Production Technologies	Metal, crystal and deuterium production +0.06% each	Resource production; combines with eligible account contributions.
T2.3 / 9	Light Fighter Mk II	Light Fighter ship-stat package +0.3% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T2.4 / 10	Cruiser Mk II	Cruiser ship-stat package +0.3% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T2.5 / 11	Improved Lab Technology	Regular and Lifeform research time −0.1%	Research time only; no resource-cost reduction. Applicable time cap 99%.
T2.6 / 12	Plasma Terraformer	Terraformer cost and required energy −0.1%; construction time −0.2%	Terraformer only, not direct extra fields. Target cost cap 50%; time cap 99%.

SECTION 04

Tier 3 · slots 13–18

Slot	Research	Base effect per level	Target, condition or limit
T3.1 / 13	Low-Temperature Drives	Espionage research cost −0.1%; time −0.2%	Despite its name, targets Espionage Technology, not flight speed. Cost cap 50%; time cap 99%.
T3.2 / 14	Bomber Mk II	Bomber ship-stat package +0.3% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T3.3 / 15	Destroyer Mk II	Destroyer ship-stat package +0.3% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T3.4 / 16	Battlecruiser Mk II	Battlecruiser ship-stat package +0.3% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T3.5 / 17	Robot Assistants	Regular and Lifeform research time −0.2%	Research time only; no resource-cost reduction. Applicable time cap 99%.
T3.6 / 18	Supercomputer	Astrophysics research time −0.3%	Astrophysics only. No resource-cost reduction. Applicable time cap 99%.

SECTION 05

Source vintage and current-game limits

All rows were checked against Gameforge’s “PTS LF values (current)” workbook sheet, file modified 4 December 2023, and OGame Tracker commit 052f9dd83ceb18e3188706be4688f0239b8a9c21. Review date: 9 November 2026. This is a source-based reference, not a new live-account measurement.

Caps belong to effect categories rather than independently to each row. Where no cap is specified in the definitions, do not infer that every final game system is unlimited. Later official changes and current Techinfo take precedence. Known fuel-cap, discovery-speed and crawler-output uncertainties are explained in the shared reference.
