EpicResearch Mod

Modifies research requirements for a slower game progression.

Features

• Slower tech progression.
• Some unlocks happen further down the tech tree to allow the player to use all different kinds of setups the game implements.
• Try on a Minimal resources 64 star seed, with 100 multiple and adjustments turned on for a hard challenge.
  • it is expected to run out or resources and having to move systems several times before unlocking warp and logistic warp.
  • it is expected to have a pre-warp logistics between systems at yellow and purple tech.
• Allows to specify additional resource multipler.

Configuration

bool AdjustTechUnlocks = true

• Change Logistic Warp to be availble at level 6 (instead of 4).
• Move rare receips to be available further in the tech tree:
  • Adv warper, Adv particle container are moved to mission complete tech.
  • Adv casmir crystal are moved to plane smelter tech that requires green.
  • Adv photon combiner are moved to quantumn printing tech that requires purple.
  • Adv nanotubes, Adv crystal silicon are moved to quantumn chem plant tech that requires green.
  • Adv diamonds is moved to adv mining machine tech.
  • Adv graphene is moved to gravity matrix tech.
• Add 6 degree of sphere stress allowance when Gravity Lenses are availble (Gravity Wave refraction).
• At levels 3-5, the speed of Vessels is improved by 1500m/s.
• Vessel capacity is increased faster at levels 3-4.

bool AdjustTechCosts = true

• Signifficantly change technology costs. These changes include:
  • Universe Exploration 3 (6ly scanning) is availble as a Red tech.
  • Proliferator Mk3 and Fusion require Purple tech.

int TechCostMultiple = 100

• Apply additional multiplier to hash and cube costs of technologies. Valid values are: {1, 5, 20, 50, 100}.

float ResourceMultiple = 1

• Additional resource multipler for the galaxy. Affects all ore, gas giants, oil. Remote oil is affected as a sqrt of this value.

Installation Note

This mod depends on BepInEx.

Dev Plans

Adjust tech costs after initial play-testing. Disable ability to "cursor carry" unlimitted amount of resources in cursor during warp.

Changelog

• v0.2.0

  • Added ability to specify planet resource multipler. Applied after game's resource multipler. Affects all ores, gas giants, oil. Remote oil is affected as a sqrt of this value.
  • Signifficantle reduce pre-automation research requirements.

• v0.1.1

  • WIP. Initial version. (Game Version 0.9.27.15466)
