I dont know if this is posible, but given that your modules are researched in totally different labs, and with totally different components, is it posible for them to have their own research section, so that you can research stuff with science, and module related stuff at the same time?

No.

Everything is using the base game engine systems, and as a result you can only research one technology at a time, no matter which lab is doing the research.

if I wanted to try and do a system to research more than one thing at a time, I'd have to implement an entirely script based system for the Modules lab, and I'd rather not go down the scripting path.

ok, Nevermind, dont go there
