Zombie perks
Every zombie worker has its own talent trees, one per mastery, with 49 perks between them. Zombies pay for their nodes with the tech points they earn while crafting, not with the Keeper's.

A zombie's mastery rises with better tools and with the mastery nodes of its own trees, bought with the tech points it earns while crafting. Zombie perks add bonuses for one kind of work, such as +4 Building mastery when working with wood (Master Carpenter).
17 nodes: 10 zombie perks and 7 mastery upgrades worth +9 Building mastery in total. The whole tree costs one zombie 4,600 red tech points.
