I am trying to force these researches and continue to error out. What are the actual names of the researches so I can enable them from the start? Tried using:

player.force.technologies["near-inserters"].researched = true
player.force.technologies["long-inserters-1"].researched = true
player.force.technologies["long-inserters-2"].researched = true
player.force.technologies["more-inserters-1"].researched = true
player.force.technologies["more-inserters-2"].researched = true

Those are the correct names.

keep in mind that player can only be used from the command console in the game, in which case you need to /c in front to make it a command, which disables all achievements. also it's game.player.

if you're doing this in a script, you want to use a for loop to run through all of the game.forces, or use game.forces["player"].technologies.

Also I don't look here very often, for questions like this, you're best off asking on the forums.
