Built-in Science Skill IDs (seeded by game)

ID	Purpose
alien_technology	Reverse-engineering alien components
biology_engineering	Processing organic materials (also crafting)

Example — Alien Technology

{
  "displayName": "skills.category.mypack.science.alien_technology",
  "description": "skills.category.mypack.science.alien_technology.desc",
  "meta": "science",
  "category": "mypack:alien_technology",
  "topLevel": 100,
  "math": { "start": 1000, "progressionCurve": 1.7 }
}

Example — Advanced Physics (Prestige Skill)

{
  "displayName": "skills.category.mypack.science.advanced_physics",
  "description": "skills.category.mypack.science.advanced_physics.desc",
  "meta": "science",
  "category": "mypack:advanced_physics",
  "topLevel": 10,
  "math": { "start": 2000, "progressionCurve": 1.9 }
}

A prestige specialization — only 10 levels but a steep curve. Unlock condition for endgame void-based materials.
