Science
Science buildings in the Science tool group produce 
Science Points. Science Points unlock Buildings for construction and Workplaces for 
Bots. Science Points are also consumed by 
Control Towers. Science Points do not require 
Storage space and thus have no storage limit.
Production
The 
Inventor is a pre-unlocked building to produce Science Points in new colonies.

Usage
Some structures are unlocked for new colonies.
Unlocking Structures
Science Points restrict construction until the late game.
Unlocking Workplaces for Bots
Some workplaces come pre-unlocked for Bots. Early game workplaces have the cheapest unlocks, at 250 Science Points. This increases with the more advanced buildings, up to several thousand for late game buildings, maxing out with the 
Bot Assembler at 10000.
Not Enough Science
Not Enough Science occurs when a building that actively consumes Science Points to operate has run out of Science Points.
Currently, the only building this affects is the Control Tower.
History
- Update 7: Folktails can no longer produce science with the Mine. In exchange, Bots can now work in the Observatory.
