Unlocking the Study Table & Science Points
Blue Tech represents spiritual and scientific enlightenment, unlocking the highest tiers of crafting.
Unlike Red Tech (earned through manual labor like mining) and Green Tech (earned through farming and foraging), Blue Tech cannot be collected by swinging a pickaxe. It requires deliberate philosophical study at the Study Table.
Every research action consumes two resources: Science points (derived from consuming paper, blank books, or autopsy notes) and Faith points (earned from Bishop sermons on Pride Day).
| Research Fuel Item | Science Points Yield | Crafting Station | Base Material Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean Paper (x1) | +2 Science points | Church Desk | 1x Pigskin Paper = 4x Clean Paper |
| Notes (x1) | +3 Science points | Church Desk | 1x Clean Paper + 1x Ink |
| Chapter (x1) | +5 Science points | Church Desk | 3x Notes + 1x Faith point |
| Old Book (x1) | +10 Science points | Bought from Astrologer | 3 Silver Coins |
Crafting clean paper from pigskin is the most cost-effective method to build a massive Science point reserve. A single piece of bat wing or pigskin yields four paper sheets, providing 8 Science points.
Official Update 1.007 resolved an early bug where the Study Table occasionally failed to register Science points when researching complex alchemy extracts.
Which Items to Study First for Maximum Blue Tech
Always prioritize organs harvested during morgue autopsies. Studying a single Brain yields 50 Blue Tech points, enough to unlock the entire Embalming and Stone Masonry Tier 2 trees in one sitting.
Sustainable Mid & Late-Game Blue Tech Farming
Because each item can only be studied once at the Study Table, players must transition to recurring crafting loops.
Once you have studied every basic organ and gravestone, the most sustainable method to generate endless Blue Tech is crafting Stained Glass at the Church Crafting Bench and writing Sermon Prayers at the Desk.
Additionally, carving decorative Marble Fences and Stone Plinths awards +5 to +8 Blue Tech points for every individual crafting completion at the Mechanical Stone Cutter.
| Crafting Recipe | Blue Tech Awarded | Station Required | Resource Consumption |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carved Stone Plinth | +5 Blue Tech | Stone Cutter II | 1x Polished Stone, 2x Stone Carving Kit |
| Stained Glass | +8 Blue Tech | Church Workstation | 2x Glass, 1x Silver Nugget |
| Prayer for Faith (Silver) | +25 Blue Tech | Church Desk | 1x Chapter, 1x Clean Paper, 5x Faith |
| Embalming Dark Fluid | +10 Blue Tech | Alchemy Workbench II | 1x Dark Powder, 1x Water |
Carving stone plinths provides an infinite passive Blue Tech pipeline once zombie quarry automation supplies endless stone blocks to your workyard.
Verified through Official Updates 1.005 to 1.009: key progression blockers in Central Districts Purge: Part I & Part II, Study Table research, Tempering Expert Master Armor crafting, and Son of a Butcher autopsy bonuses have all been resolved.
