Tesla research

This page lists all the tesla upgrades available at the Academy. These use ionite energy to produce various beneficial effects. Most of the higher-level upgrades benefit the various walking machines, although there are also some benefits to infantry and stormtroopers. The "Discovery of crystalline properties" and "Concept of a crystal lattice" upgrades are also worth getting as soon as possible. The tesla upgrades tend to require significantly more research points than mechanics or genetics upgrades, although not as many as in the occultism branch. However, the tesla branch has somewhat fewer upgrades overall.

The below table lists all of the available upgrades. Many upgrades have multiple stages, each with its own separate benefit and cost. These benefits are cumulative over all stages.
