In Twilight Imperium Second Edition, technologies are known as technology advances and are represented by technology chits. Each race starts the game with a certain number of technology chits.
One technology chit may be purchased during each Technology Phase for 30 credits
The front of every technology chit describes the name of that technology and the advances required to purchase it. Some technology require two previous technologies to be able to be purchased, while others require one of two different.
There are 4 different types of technologies
| Biological | |
| Propulsion | |
| Weapons/Warfare | |
| General |
Technology Specialty Planets[]
Some planets have scientists that have special skills in one area of technology
If a planet has a technology symbol adjacent to its name on its tile, that planet's resources may be subtracted from purchasing technology of that type. For example, if a player owns 2 planets that both have a red technology specialty and have a combined resource value of 6, red technology can be purchased for 24 Credits instead of 30
There are no planets with a yellow (general) technology specialty
