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 Kaelesh 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.

SECTION 02

Tier 1 · slots 1–6

Slot	Research	Base effect per level	Target, condition or limit
T1.1 / 1	Heat Recovery	Ship fuel consumption −0.03%	Older definitions: 30% Lifeform cap; later live notice: 90% global cap. Exact combination unverified; see shared fuel caveat.
T1.2 / 2	Sulphide Process	Deuterium production +0.08%	Deuterium production only.
T1.3 / 3	Psionic Network	Complete-fleet-loss expedition event probability −0.05% relative	Relative probability reduction, capped at 50%; not pirate/alien battle damage or every expedition risk.
T1.4 / 4	Telekinetic Tractor Beam	Quantity of expedition ship finds +0.2%	Ship-find quantity, not the chance of a ship-find event.
T1.5 / 5	Enhanced Sensor Technology	Quantity of expedition resource finds +0.2%	Resource-find quantity, not the chance of a resource-find event.
T1.6 / 6	Neuromodal Compressor	Civilian ship cargo capacity +0.4%	Small Cargo, Large Cargo, Colony Ship, Recycler, Espionage Probe; not Pathfinder. Probe cargo depends on universe settings.

SECTION 03

Tier 2 · slots 7–12

Slot	Research	Base effect per level	Target, condition or limit
T2.1 / 7	Neuro-Interface	Regular and Lifeform research time −0.1%	Research time only; no resource-cost reduction. Applicable time cap 99%.
T2.2 / 8	Interplanetary Analysis Network	Sensor Phalanx range +0.6%	Phalanx range, not detection permissions or expedition discovery range. Final integer range can be rounded.
T2.3 / 9	Overclocking (Heavy Fighter)	Heavy Fighter ship-stat package +0.3% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T2.4 / 10	Telekinetic Drive	Fleet travel speed on expedition missions +0.1%	Expedition outward/return travel, not holding time or all fleet missions.
T2.5 / 11	Sixth Sense	Quantity of expedition resource finds +0.2%	Resource-find quantity, not the chance of a resource-find event.
T2.6 / 12	Psychoharmoniser	Metal, crystal and deuterium production +0.06% each	Resource production; combines with eligible account contributions.

SECTION 04

Tier 3 · slots 13–18

Slot	Research	Base effect per level	Target, condition or limit
T3.1 / 13	Efficient Swarm Intelligence	Regular and Lifeform research time −0.1%	Research time only; no resource-cost reduction. Applicable time cap 99%.
T3.2 / 14	Overclocking (Large Cargo)	Large Cargo ship-stat package +1% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T3.3 / 15	Gravitation Sensors	Quantity of Dark Matter expedition finds +0.1%	Dark Matter find quantity, not the event’s probability.
T3.4 / 16	Overclocking (Battleship)	Battleship ship-stat package +0.3% each	Structure, shields, attack, cargo and base speed. Not fuel consumption.
T3.5 / 17	Psionic Shield Matrix	Shielding research cost −0.2%; time −0.2%	Shielding Technology only. Target cost cap 50%; time cap 99%.
T3.6 / 18	Kaelesh Discoverer Enhancement	Eligible active Discoverer class bonuses +0.2% amplification	Requires active Discoverer. Excludes expedition-debris visibility, inactive-player loot and research-acceleration discounts.

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.
