What to study

Upgrades get a master-detail screen that is mostly empty space on purpose: the submarine floats alone on a blueprint grid while one card carries the whole decision, with the stat change spelled out as a before-and-after (Maximum Submarine Depth: 90m to 425m, the gain in green), material costs as have/need counts, and a single Unlock button. Frame at about 0:31 in the Open Beta 2 trailer (Steam).
