Tech Tree Alterations

The way this mod integrates the science packs into the research is that it goes through the tech tree, iterates through every technology of a specific vanilla science pack, then has a 70% chance of adding each new science pack of that tier. For example, the automation technology has a 70% of needing Manufacturing science packs, a 70% of needing Upkeep science packs, and a 70% of needing Industry science packs. This slight randomization is seeded based on the technology name, meaning that adding small mods won't completely reroll everything.

NOTE: As of August 25th, now the percentage chance has been set to 100% for compatibility and simplicity purposes. If you prefer otherwise, let me know in discussion.

Notable Compatibility:

  • Serotonin's silly overhaul
  • Science pack galore (for a total of 63 science packs!)
  • All of Bob's mods (specifically requires Bob's tech and logistics)
