_{Prerequisites within this focus. Box colour is the tier (blue CORE, grey STANDARD, green UNCOMMON, amber RARE, purple UNIQUE); dotted arrows are alternatives (“or”); a line can pass behind another box, so follow it from its start. 7 of these 8 breakthroughs also need breakthroughs from other foci, which the overview above lists.}

• Tier: CORE · Era: Primitive
• Prerequisites: G01 or AH02
• Unlocks: Weaverⁿ [10/0; +1 Gold]. Cloth, sails (SF03) and leather for the bellows (ME-B). Wool spun and worn: ⟨[+1 Production] from [Sheep] tiles [in all cities]⟩; ⟨[+1 Happiness] in cities on [Tundra] tiles⟩ (Wool Processing, merged here in v3.101).
• Leads to: ME-B Bellows, CO09 Suspension Bridge, SF03 Sail Invention, TX02 Dyeing, TX03 Silk Production, TX05 Cotton Gin, TX10 Paper Making, TX11 Tapa Cloth Tradition, MC04 Windmill, AE01 Hot Air Balloon, AE09 Ornithopter

• Tier: STANDARD · Era: Ancient
• Prerequisites: TX01 + G01
• Unlocks: Dye Worksⁿ [45/1; +2 Gold; ⟨[+1 Gold] from [Dyes] tiles [in this city]⟩].
• Leads to: TX12 Imperial Dye Mastery

• Tier: UNIQUE · Era: Ancient
• Prerequisites: G05 (Insect Cultivation) + TX01 + Temperate/subtropical biome
• Unlocks: Silk Weaversⁿ [replaces Weaver; 95/1; +2 Gold, +1 Culture; ⟨Provides [1] [Silk]⟩ — the base luxury, made rather than found]. Civ uniques: ⟨[+2 Gold] from each Trade Route⟩ and ⟨[+1 Culture] from each Trade Route⟩ — the Silk Road carries more than silk.
• Notes: Chinese-inspired.

• Tier: STANDARD · Era: Early Modern
• Prerequisites: TX01 + MC03 (Gearing)
• Unlocks: Textile Millⁿ [220/2; requires a Weaver in this city; +2 Gold; Engineer ×1; ⟨[+1 Gold] from [Cotton] tiles [in this city]⟩].

• Tier: CORE · Era: Atomic
• Prerequisites: CH07 + CH11 (Polymer Science)
• Unlocks: ⟨[+10]% Strength <for [Air] units>⟩ — the cable that reaches orbit. ⟨All newly-trained [Land] units [in all cities] receive the [Flak Jacket] promotion⟩ (Flak Jacketⁿ: ⟨[+15]% Strength <when defending> <vs [Ranged] units>⟩) — two engineered fibres of the same years (Kevlar/Armor Textiles, merged here in v3.104).
• Leads to: RK12 Space Elevator, MS01 Composite Materials, AE12 Grand Aerostat

• Tier: CORE · Era: Ancient
• Prerequisites: TX01 + (WM01 (Canal — water processing) or F02 (Kiln Construction — bark processing))
• Unlocks: ⟨[+15]% Production when constructing [Library] buildings [in all cities]⟩ — cheap paper, cheap books. Prerequisite for the Printing Press (MC06).
• Leads to: MC06 Printing Press

• Tier: UNIQUE · Era: Primitive
• Prerequisites: TX01 + Tropical biome + Coastal biome
• Unlocks: Tapa Workshopⁿ [replaces Weaver; 30/1; +2 Culture; Great Artist points 2; ⟨[+1 Culture] from [Jungle] tiles [in this city]⟩]. Civ unique: ⟨[+1 Culture] from [Jungle] tiles [in all cities]⟩ — the bark is the canvas.
• Notes: Polynesian/Melanesian/Central African bark cloth.

• Tier: UNIQUE · Era: Ancient
• Prerequisites: TX02 (Dyeing) + TR01 + Coastal biome
• Unlocks: Imperial Dye Worksⁿ [replaces Dye Works; 110/1; +3 Gold, +2 Culture; ⟨Provides [1] [Dyes]⟩]. Civ unique: ⟨[+2 Gold, +1 Culture] from [Dyes] tiles [in all cities]⟩ — purple is power.
• Notes: Phoenician purple, Indian indigo, Mesoamerican cochineal.
