yes, since you're gonna have more than enough plants gain to get it well before everything else while waiting on the others... I had almost completed each of the others by the time the tree stage was complete and now I'm waiting for the bug stage to get to it while pumping insects into the world via butterfly dome(yay for the wardens....)

Any tech unlock that's tied to the general terraforming score (Incubator) will unlock at somewhat random times relative to things that unlock under a specific progress tree (Plants, Insects, Pressure, Heat, etc)

If someone is pretty lacking in Heaters, but pushes drills REALLY hard, they'll get pressure tech unlocks before heat tech unlocks. But either path might unlock general Terraforming at the same time. A lumberjack will sell 100 dollars of wood, a fisherman will sell 100 dollars of fish, but they'll still have 100 dollars.

I almost always unlock the bee hive before I can use it. The incubator unlocks at 5.0 GTI in the main unlock screen, you can then make bee larva. The recipe for both bee larva and silk worm is in the recipe screen on the incubator.

What the bee hive does for me is to remind me to look in the messages screen to see if the ancients quest line has unlocked and if it has to go and get the end reward. That can be used soon.

Yea, some of the unlocks are weird, like an item that increases PRESSURE is in the Oxygen Tree etc...

Actually, I found that to be a reasonable unlock process. It prevents you from pigeonholing yourself into one stat and then having to start with the basic T1 machines for the other stats.
