Inspired by similar mods such as Cheap Mode by Martin Jurča, and Custom research speed by exfret. Borrowed and modified code from SE Skip Ground Science by waptdragon3 for the command function.

This mod allows change to the following through game settings:

• Technology research cost: Modify by a factor. Applies to all tech, whether standard or infinite, vanilla or modded. Specific tech can be excluded by adding their ID to a comma-separated list.
• Research speed: Modify by a factor. Applies to all labs, including those from mods.
• Base energy usage: Modify by a factor. Applies to all labs, including those from mods.
• Starter Tech Tier: Skip up to 3 tiers of technology research (those needing red, green and blue science packs). The function uses the command "/cr_unlock" and takes the parameters "r", "rg" and "rgb".

Energy usage automatically scales with research speed to preserve game balance, but for the sake of balancing some overhaul mods, the ability to modify base energy usage was added as well.
