with advanced circuit molding, theres no real reason to have it require red circuits/A-ATM packs as the recipes are useless without the player already having them - although, i will make the change to have them require both the last tier of molding + their respective circuit, as i feel that makes more sense
the bonus technologies work the same as they do vanilla (at least from my own knowledge and from a diagram of the tech tree) - where a bonus technology that takes a new pack doesnt have the new pack as a prerequisite, so im fine with it personally :]
The locale discrepency with red science i will fix for the next update though, thank you :]
