Is Mastery of Nature worth it?

[scaper12123]

YES, GOD YES!!! I got it for my first ascension slot and oh my god did it make it worth it. It's espeically worthwhile on planets where you have LOTS of tile blockers. Just spend a minute clicking to clean all of those up for absolutely free. The only annoyance is having to click them individually to clean them up, but for what we get I'm not complaining.

Oh, I noticed a 3rd Effect:
Master of Nature does not override that you need the techs. It GIVES you the techs. That is 9 T1 techs.
That will instantly unlock Tier 2 Technologies, while removing all those cards from the deck.
Especially if you go for a Robot heavy build (where you need to unlock droids as colonist asap) it could be a massive bonus.

Ok that is powerful! I'm definitely picking it up next game.

I thought different tech tiers were unlocked by category. So that it would only unlock tier-2 Society techs.

Am I wrong on that?

I think it is not limited per Tech category. But I really need to go one day and verify it. Actually now with MoN I got a good way to finally do that.

Okay, I can not figure it out. The Tech is a meshed net, where all T2 tech also needs 1-2 prequisite techs before it can drop. And none of my asumptions about the tech tier pan out.
