Well, I suppose there's even a third way to deal with this--not random in the instant case, but based on the randomness of the game that was set up.
For instance, if you are near such and such natural resource then you are assured of getting the option for the tech. Or based on a geographical situation--close to the sea, etc. Necessity really is the mother of invention.

You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
