'''Research''' unlocks most of New Ranch's farm content. Place a [[NewRanch:Research Table|Research Table]] (8 planks and 6 Wood at a Work Bench, or bought from the [[NewRanch:Farmer|Farmer]]) and right-click it to open '''The Field Book'''. It closes if you move more than 12 tiles away.

Each branch costs [[NewRanch:Field Notes|Field Notes]] from your inventory and needs the branch before it. Items that belong to a branch '''cannot be used or placed''' until it is learned; their tooltip says "Requires …" in red. Recipes and shop entries are locked the same way.
