Name 	Description 	Cost 	Base Production
Notes 	A musical sound is known as a note. With the creation of written symbols, humans have found a way to translate notes into a tangible language. 	25 	1/sec
Sound Waves 	Vibrations produce waves that transport sound across space. These waves change shape depending on several factors: wavelength, amplitude, and frequency. 	15,000	50/sec
Theory 	Every aspect of music relies on a single underlying foundation, informing the choices a musician makes. Thousands of years of theory have accumulated into the music we have today. 	50.00M	10,000/sec
Early Innovations 	Life in the Paleolithic area was a continuous fight for survival. Even so, early humans were able to find meaning in their surroundings and found time to express themselves through sound. 	20.00B	1.00M/sec
Instruments 	Humans use many different objects to produce sounds, ranging from bagpipes to kazoos to triangles. Each instrument has its own timbre, so striking the same note on a drum will sound different than playing it on a flute.	1.00T 	1/sec
Modern Innovations	A modern society need modern tools. As technology developed, people began producing and receiving music with the new tools available. 	10.00B	1.00M/sec
A Brief History 	Music has evolved significantly from the days of the Hurrian Hymn. As time passed, reasons for making music changed, as did the people who created music. 	5.00T 	300.00M/sec

===No Effect & Notes Efficiency===
Name 	Effeciency	Description 	Cost 	Requirements
Invisible Force 	N/A 	How can we break down something we can't see? Sound is an energy undetectable by the human eye, yet it exists all around us. 	20 	N/A
Vibrations 	100% 	Sound is defined in terms of vibrations. When an object is rapidly moving back and forth, air molecues are repeatedly bounced against each other. This can be observed by holding a hand to a speaker playing music.	100 	x1 Notes
Receiving Sound 	75% 	When vibrating air reach the ear, it causes the eardrum to vibrate, creating the sensation of sound. From there, the sound waves enter the cochlea. 	500 	Vibrations
Processing Sound	125% 	Tens of thousands of hair cells inside the cochlea receive vibrations and turn them into electrical signals. From here, the signals are carried to the brain, which processes the as sound. 	4,000	Receiving Sound
===Sound Waves Efficiency===
Name 	Effeciency	Description 	Cost 	Requirements
Amplitude 	150% 	Soundwaves carry energy, measured in decibels: the more energy carried, the louder the sound produced. If a sound's decibel level is too high, it can damage the hair cells in your ears. 	44,000 	x1 Sound Waves
Wavelength 	150% 	Wavelength measure the distance between two high points or between two low points of a wave. This distance is inversely related to frequency, so a higher wavelength creates a lower frequency. 	600,000	Amplitude
Frequency 	125% 	The number of times a wave repeats affect the sound produced. Waves that repeat more often have a higher pitch, and ones that repeat less have a lower pitch. The frequency you hear most clearly is a note's fundamental. 	2.00M 	Wavelength
Harmonics 	150% 	When a note is played, the fundamental frequency is usually not alone. Instead, notes are joined by several sound waves repeating at different waves. The additional frequencies accompanying the note are called harmonics.	10.00M 	Frequency
Color of A Note	125% 	Timbre represent a sound's specific traits, which musicians refer to as a note's 'color'. These unique qualities are why a note played on a wooden flute will sound different when played on a metal one. 	30.00M 	Harmonics
Vibrato 	75% 	By including small variations in pitch, musicians can create a wavering effect in their timbre. Opera singers are famous for their use of vibrato, an innovation that employs vibration to keep their vocal muscles loose. 	50.00M 	Harmonics
===Theory Efficiency===
Name 	Effeciency	Description 	Cost 	Requirements
Pitch 	100% 	A note's frequency is directly related to how high or low a note is. When these pitches are arranged in sequencial order, they create a scale. 	150.00M	x1 Theory
Rhythm 	100% 	A consistent timing between notes form the core of a song. These patterns are called rhythmic structures and are one of the main identifiers of a musical style. 	400.00M	x1 Theory
African Polyrhythm	100% 	Utilized primarily in sub-Saharan African music, polyrhythm employs several seperate rhythms at once to create a unique and complex pattern. 	750.00M	Rhythm
Notation 	150% 	By using representative notes and symbols, music can be written down. This allows it to be preserved while permitting a composer to prescribe how a given song is to be played. 	3.00B 	Pitch
Semitones 	150% 	The smallest interval on a western [sic] scale, semitones represent the minimum charge of pitch still recognized as distinct notes to the human ear. On a piano, they can be observed in the distance between each adjacent key.	60.00B 	Notation
Arabic Maqam 	100% 	As a system of scales, modulations, melodic phrases, techniques, and conventions, the maqam is the backbone of much Arab music. Maqams use even smaller intervals than Western music, going as tiny as the quarter tone. 	200.00B	Pitch, African Polyrhythm
Chinese Shi'er lü 	150% 	In ancient China, bamboo pipes were constructed for tuning purposes. When blown, they produced the twelve lü, or fundamental pitches of an octave. These pitches formed the foundations of Chinese music theory. 	450.00B	Arabic Maqam
Chords 	150% 	A chord is formed when three or more notes of different frequency are produced at once. When played sequentially, chords form the harmonic structure of a song. 	900.00B	Semitones
Octave 	440% 	Measuring a distance of twelve semitones, an octave often begins and ends on different pitches of the same note. These two sounds are perceived as identical, due to the second note being double the frequency of the first. 	8.80T 	Chords
Pentatonic Scale 	500% 	Containing just five notes per octave, pentatonic scales were developed independently in a variety of early civilizations, such as ancient China and Greece. This suggests they have a univeral appeal. 	50.00T 	Chinese Shi'er lü
Melody 	300% 	Shaped by pitch and rhythm, a melody is a series of notes arranged into a musical phrase. This is the part of a song you tend to remember fastest. 	100.00T	Octave, Pentatonic Scale
===Early Innovations Efficiency===
Name 	Efficiency	Description 	Cost 	Requirements
Sticks and Rocks	125% 	Anthropologists theorize fallen branches and small stones were likely the first items to be used as instrments. Banging these commonly found objects together would create sound, an early precursor to the drum.	30.00B 	x1 Early Innovations
Bone Flute 	600% 	The world's oldest known instrument was constructed from the left thighbone of a cave bear. Discovered in a Slovenian cave, historians believe this flute was made by Neanderthals 60,000 years ago. 	800.00B	Sticks and Rocks

==Trivia ==
*The event's knowledge tree closely resembles a G clef.
*The Description of Ocarina begins with “Hey, listen!” This is likely a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, where the player’s companion, Navi, always lets you know when she has something to say by saying “Hey, listen!”
*The name "A New World" can also reference the starting music piece that plays when the game is booted up.
