The breaks between the lines stand for the time the items are deconstructed, in order to unlock the other items required for the research levels 5 and higher. The first segment and the second being one.

Items marked with a - are optional as they are not required to reach level 5 of that tech branch.

The tech values listed are not all the tech level the respective item has, only those relevant to further the tech levels of this particullar list. For a full list of tech values see Research Items.

The arrangement of the items in their respective segments is optional, in fact the whole list is optional, as there are many more ways to reach level 5 of these tech branches.
