Goblin Camp Technology Tree and Unlocks

Goblin Camp has 43 technologies: 33 are purchased with research points and 10 are unlocked by discoveries or events during play. The tables below show the complete prerequisite path and the direct rewards attached to each technology.

Items marked also requires need every named technology, not just the technology in that row. For construction costs after a structure is unlocked, use the Structures and Building Requirements guide.

How Technology Unlocking Works

Technologies with an RP cost become research choices after all prerequisites are met. Triggered technologies have no RP cost; they appear after the listed discovery, building, camp condition, or event occurs.

The Direct Unlocks column groups items, structures, spells, and camp bonuses. It does not repeat later technologies that become available through the prerequisite tree.
