The capabilities of your Island Manufacturing Nexus are all based on your current Technology Level. Each technology level unlocks a new type of warehousing building material that your 3D Printer can use, a new level of conveyor belt to equip the warehouses, and a new utility building for your delivery bots to use. As you progress to more and more advanced technologies, the stronger materials and better 3D Printers can support larger and larger structures.
Early on, you could probably build enough structures by hand to advance to the next level. But to build a truly impressive number of structures, 3D Printers is the way to go!
Advancing Technology Level
The delivery bots will return useful raw materials, the payment for the goods they deliver. Once the technology level is high enough, the delivery bots will begin delivering the payments of raw materials that enable you to advance to the next technology level. Delivery bots payments are collected every Minecraft Evening at 10:00pm (every 20 minutes real time) in the supply chest in the Storeroom.
Rules to Advance to the next Tech Level:
1) Have enough delivery bots using the previous Tech Level (not counting remaining warehouses from the previous Tech Level): Every level will require 16 more delivery bots than the previous level, meaning you will need 16 delivery bots in dirt warehouses, 32 bots in wood warehouses (not counting remaining dirt warehouses), and so on.
2) Have at least one of each available utility buildings: Every level requires the addition of at least one utility buildings to your Island Manufacturing Nexus. Some of these buildings, such as the Workshop and Laboratory, are powerful and allow your bots to perform more profitable deliveries.
Tech Level | Construction Material | Population needed at Current Tech Level to Advance to the Next Level* | Community Building needed to Advance to Next Level |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Dirt | 16 | Bathroom, Storeroom |
2 | Wood | 32 | Workshop |
3 | Stone (not cobblestone) | 48 | Laboratory |
4 | Polexiglas | 64 | Commissary |
5 | ABS Bricks | 80 | Library |
6 | Bronze | 96 | School |
7 | Stainless Steel | 112 | Clinic |
8 | Carbon Fiber Resin | 128 | Art Gallery |
- Your team needs 32 Population living in Wood houses (Technology Level 2) to advance to Stone Houses (Technology Level 3), not 32 combined population from Wood and Dirt Houses.
Housing
A house makes a home. Or something like that. Regardless, your Refugees will not stay long on your island paradise if you do not build suitable houses. Houses are the main structures on your Village Plot, and as you advance the stronger construction materials will enable larger and larger houses rising up into the sky!
Beds
Every Bed in a House counts as 1 Population for your Village. Similar to the construction material upgrades, every Technology Level upgrades the quality of the Beds your Villagers will sleep in. To count towards your score, any Bed must match the Technology Level of the House it is in.
Community Buildings
Community Buildings are unlocked at each new Technology Level that help advance your Village from a Refugee Camp to a modern Village.
Multistory Houses
As your construction material advances (starting at Technology Level 3), you can start to 3D Print multi-story structures and build your Village vertically! While this gives you increased opportunities to skyrocket your Population, the Refugees must still be able to safely enter each home. For any Door to valid that is more than 2 blocks above the Village Blocks, it must have a ladder nearby that extends safely to the ground.
