Incremental reveal of tech tree

6 votes

To add excitement especially on first playthrough, show the tech tree incrementally as you discover new resources.

Built a gear? Great, see what gears can do for you. Found some scrap metal? Cool, now you can build these things with metal.

I would even suggest options for "soft" beaver technology such as lunchboxes (to stave off hunger) hand carts (to increase strength) or hats (because hats)

To avoid overloading new players with too many buttons and to make the game more progressive, it would be interesting to hide irrelevant buildings at the beginning of the game. For example, all the buildings requiring metal could be visible and unlockable only once you have unlocked the buildings allowing to produce metal.

"progressive building menu" (suggested by Mikael on 2021-12-07), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.
