Science - Explorer

NOTE: The Explorer Science tree has only just gone onto the live servers. The below was written from the test server. Initially it doesn't look like anything changed however.

To open the Explorers skill tree to assign books produced by your Bookbinder, select an Explorer from your Star menu, and click on "Open Skill Tree" button

You are then presented with the skill tree window.

Similar to the Geologist, you must fill out 5 books in available skills to unlock the next layer, and be the requisite level in the game. You are not forced to put 5 books in each layer itself to progress, you could fill extra books in the lower, cheaper layers to progress higher if desired. For example, if the only codex level skill you wanted was "Sophisticated Pillager" at the top, you could fill in extra books at the lower layers until you have 20, and then place the 21st and final book in the top skill. This would allow you to only use a single codex on the unit, as below.
