Main Features

• Progressively increases research costs after every completed eligible technology
• Configurable growth multiplier from 1 to 10
• Configurable maximum research multiplier from 1 to 1000
• Correctly counts technologies already completed when added to an existing save
• No continuous on_tick processing and effectively no noticeable UPS impact

This mod should work with most other mods, with dedicated integrations available for specific cases.

Growth Examples

With a growth multiplier of 1.01:

• After 10 technologies: approximately ×1.10
• After 50 technologies: approximately ×1.64
• After 100 technologies: approximately ×2.70
• After 250 technologies: approximately ×12.03
• After 500 technologies: approximately ×144.77
• After 500 technologies with maximum multiplier set to x100 (default): ×100.00
  The configured maximum prevents the research multiplier from growing beyond the desired limit.

Status Command

Use the following command to display the current state of the multiplier:

/erisel-science-multiplier-status

Supported Mod Integrations

• Teleporters Balanced - Teleportation technologies can be included in or excluded from the progressive multiplier independently of planet technologies.

Supported Planet Integrations

• Cerys, Moon of Fulgora
• Rubia
• Maraxsis
• I will add more, as necessary

Important Note

I haven't played with many modded planets, and I can't test every one of them myself. If you know of a modded planet whose progression could be negatively affected by the research multiplier (such as Cerys for example) please let me know in the dedicated thread, and I will add dedicated support for it.
