Technology points
Technology is unlocked by three types of technology points. These points are obtained by different actions, as well as items and study of items. Essential to progress are the study table in the church basement and the science and faith points that are used to study items. Eating cake gives the player a temporary buff that boosts the amount of points earned from studying items.

"Hand-crafting skills, and your ability to work with materials". Anything involving physical labor generates points. Actions include operating machines in the farm, cutting down trees, and mining stone and coal.

Green Tech Symbol.png Green
"Knowledge about the nature of things, and of nature itself". Anything involving organic materials generates green points. This means cutting down weeds, gathering wood and farming.

"Spiritual knowledge of the immaterial world". Blue tech points are often among the hardest to earn in the early game. Tasks involving the morgue, graveyard, writing and alchemy often generate them but many of these aren't options until later. The best early source of them is the study table. Organs are studied to gain as well as gravestones, fences and some alchemical substances. The study table is unlocked after the player gets access to the church.

Another way to gain those points is producing hemp ropes, polished stone bricks, steel parts, conical flasks or advanced conical flasks. Each time you produce one of these items, you gain.

Some players claim, that ultimate way to gain them, is buying or producing blue techbooks, which add.

Another viable way is to exchange into  5  points  by crafting. Afterwards it could be recycled into. This is time-consuming, but rather cheap way to obtain tech points, especially after you setup working.

Study table
Once you progress through the main quest to unlock the church and give sermons or upon clearing debris in the tunnels under your home, you unlock the study table. It can be found beneath the church in the alchemy lab.

The study table is used to study items. After an item has been studied it cannot be studied again and you will obtain both technology points as well as possible decomposition products. Organic materials tend to generate points, inorganic materials (iron, stone, tools) generate  points, and mortuary, graveyard, and alchemy items generate  points. What an item provides when studied is seen next to the "Study Not Complete" text when hovering over an item.

Studying most items requires (except most alchemy items) and. can be obtained by holding sermons in the church on or from a confessional. can be obtained by decomposing paper, notes, chapters, lenses, or books on the study table.

Books
The astrologer sells books and great books, that can be used to instantly gain 25 (standard) or 50 (great) techpoints of one of three colours. Those books can also be crafted by s on the random text generator.
