ENDLESS Legend 2 Research Tree — Every Captured Technology (1.0)

The six research eras (1.0)

Effects are the official unlock text; faction-marked rows are marked. Where the upstream capture lost a column (The Years of Invention has no faction attribution in the source table) the cell is marked Unknown rather than guessed. Two effect cells were re-checked against the live official wiki on 2026-09-20 (raw capture archived at research/evidence/2026-09-20-wiki-research-page-structure.json): the Scientific Charter cell breaks Unlocks District: Laboratory and Improves the rewards from Curiosities onto two lines, so the run-on our extractor produced is a tag-stripping artifact and the boundary is restored; and the Dignitary Goodwill cell prints Minor fActionss verbatim in the source, normalized here to Minor factions (the same page spells it correctly in the Statecraft row). A few effect strings still run together where the source gave no boundary at all — check the in-game tooltip before relying on a number from one of those rows.
