We aren't even half way there
There are around 130 innovations/topics/technologies listed so far. Toady says there are around 300.
Techniques for researching:
- Turn entire Fortress into scholars
- Monitor what they discuss / ponder every few minutes
- Record the innovation name and description (Press j when highlighting the dwarf in the unit list to see the description)
- Might be best to do this in several worlds generated with longer histories
I also went through Legends mode and sorted through a crap load of books (under artifacts), but this way doesn't always give you the innovation name. And it's a pain.
Any other suggestions? Brightgalrs (talk) 16:18, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
Writing books in adv mode is also a good way to do it. Untrustedlife (talk) 17:07, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Ah, having not played fortress mode in the new release, I didn't realize that there were official names for the topics. I just thought the name was supposed to briefly describe the topic. I will remove the names from all the topics I have added. One good thing about using legends mode is that you know for certain which field a topic is a part of, since it says stuff like, "In 88, Sut became a philosopher in Hawktwinkle." "In the early summer of 91, Sut independently discovered discourse on medical ethics." That could have conceivably been a medical science innovation, but obviously since Sut was a philosopher, it is a philosophy inovation.
Reminders
- Record both the name and description
- The description should be all words after "The topic being discussed concerns..." or whatever it is.
- Try to sort the innovation in the right section of this article
- If it isn't obvious which it fits under (or it seems fits under multiple) just put it in the "unsorted" section
- More research will be done when Dwarf Therapist is updated
- In particular, monitoring dwarf's skill gain to pinpoint the correct branch(s) a topic should be sorted under.
