A lot of discussion here followed similar patterns, and I'm happy to say we got there in the end :)
I put out a new recommended mod called Wormholes: New Game Plus Technologies that should automatically come with this one when you download it.
It resets your technologies (which this one didn't), but crucially you keep most of your bonuses; in particular infinite productivity (including science productivity), damage boosts, engineer health, and robot speed boosts :)
If you're reading this and thinking "oh I just wanted a map reset", you can disable the technologies mod and the core mod will work unchanged :)
The interopability of other mods interacting with this one means that mod authors could (in theory) make their overhaul / planetary addon mods work with this one :)
