The capstone

Master Engineer costs 3 points and gives: +30% Scrap and Iron found; +30% Wood found; +30% Cloth found; +10 Armor. To take it you need Prospector at rank 3, Master Craftsman at rank 3, and 25 points spent in the tree. Plan your path backwards from the capstone: spend your early points on the talents it requires, then fill in the rest.

Pairs well with

Engineer works best alongside Warden and Broker. Warden turns your materials into defences, and Broker turns your surplus into Scrip.
