Technology Levels

Technology levels are a rough estimate of a society's scientific advancement.

Primitive - Level 6
Societies with primitive technology have harnessed fire and are capable of building tools and weapons out of stone. Their structures are made with unrefined resources, like trees, mud, and vegetation. They attain food through hunting and gathering.

Medieval - Level 5
Societies with medieval technology have learned refine natural resources with masonry, carpentry, and metal-working. They are capable of large-scale structures and producing food through agriculture.

Industrial - Level 4
Societies with industrial technology have discovered combustion engines and gunpowder. While they discovered electricity, they are just beginning to learn how to use it. They have begun developing machines to help them produce goods and harvest crops in greater quantities. Their cities have begun to develop additional infrastructure, like water and sewage systems.

Modern - Level 3
Societies with modern technology have discovered nuclear fission and refrigeration. Although they are aware of other types of energy sources, they remain dependent on fossil fuels. They are able to launch satellites  into space and enhance their crops through genetic engineering.

Futuristic - Level 2
Societies with futuristic technology are no longer dependent on fossil fuels and use clean energy to power their world. They may have flying cars, holographic user interfaces on devices, and even cybernetic enhancements. Space Travel is still very rare, reserved for government and mega-corporate funded projects. They are not able to travel faster than the speed of light.

Space-Faring - Level 1
Societies with space-faring technology have mastered the ability to travel outside of their solar system. They have also discovered ways of manipulating the natural forces of the universe, such creating anti-gravity zones and using faster-than-light travel. They can create artificial intelligence and perform feats with their technology that might seem like magic to less-developed societies.

Gods of Science - Level 0
Societies that are Gods of Science have advanced to the point that their people are basically immortal. No corner of the universe is inaccessible to them. They can completely manipulate genetic coding to suit their whims. Sometimes they interact with lesser developed worlds in order to manipulate their evolution or technological progress.
