[INFO] Tech list with requirements
I spent some time trying to find the requirements for the technologies in the game files, and I couldn't seem to.

I will put the results in the next few posts.

Here's the most important information:

Finally, the Armor Tech + Pegasus Transport. Note: completing each of these armors and the Pegasus triggers a new ERA in the game after a delay of 11-30 days. I had each of these expanded out with all of their requirements listed, but I think it's more readable this way.

Note: The order does not matter, but I always put the main goal as the last item.

Armor Tech + Pegasus Transport --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photon Armor (Personal Armor) 1. enemies that you need to kill and research: Nh'Teol 2. UFO that you need to research: Alien Recon Vessel 3. recover and research Photon Beamer and Alien Fibers 4. Research Photon Cannon 5. Research AK1 Ultra Piercing Ammo 6. Research Light Rocket Defense 7. Research Photon Defense 8. Research Photon Armor *** Completion triggers ERA 2 after a delay of 11-30 days --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hellfire Armor (Personal Armor) 1. enemies that you need to kill and research: Bonesetter and Trepanationer 2. UFOs that you need to research: Alien Recon Vessel, Light Alien Cruiser, Medium Alien Cruiser 3. recover and research Alien Gravity Engine, Alien Fibers, Alien Flight Control. 4. research Incendiary Technology 5. research Incendiary Grenade 6. research VT2000 Personal Shield 7. research VT2000 Fighter Shield 8. research VT3000 Fighter Shield 9. research VT3000 Personal Shield 10. research Hellfire Armor *** Completion triggers ERA 3 after a delay of 11-30 days --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tundra Walker (Personal Armor) 1. enemies that you need to kill and research: Sentinel, Gehennae, Rider 2. UFO that you need to research: Alien Patrol Vessel 3. recover and research Reinforced Alien Fibers 4. research Cryo Technology 5. Research Cryo Rocket 5. Research Fire Arrow Launcher 6. Research Heavy Rocket Defense 7. Research Tundra Walker *** Completion triggers ERA 4 after a delay of 11-30 days --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sludge Suit (Personal Armor) 1. enemies that you need to kill and research: Ice Queen 2. Research Sludge Technology 3. Research Sludge Grenade 4. Research Sludge Mortar Bomb 5. Research Sludge Suit *** Completion triggers ERA 5 after a delay of 11-30 days --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pegasus (Transport) 1. enemies that you need to kill and research: Chemical Monster, Poisonous Bird of Prey, Poisonous Gehennae 2. UFOs that you need to research: Alien Recon Vessel, Light Alien Cruiser, Medium Alien Cruiser, Alien Patrol Vessel, Heavy Alien Cruiser, Alien Supply Vessel 3. recover and research Advanced Alien Flight Control, Reinforced Alien Fibers, Alien Fibers, Alien Flight Control, Alien Gravity Engine 4. Research Thunderstorm (Transport) 5. Research Raven Battle Armor 6. Research AK1 Ultra Piercing U238 Ammo 7. Research Long Spear Launcher 8. Research Pegasus *** Completion triggers ERA 6 after a delay of 11-30 days --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Positronic Armor (Personal Armor) 1. enemies that you need to kill and research: Hardened Bonesetter, Rarach, and Poisonous Rider. 2. UFO that you need to research: Alien Battle Cruiser. 3. recover and research positronic beamer and positronic grenade. 4. Research Positronic Cannon. 5. Research VT5000 Fighter Shield. 6.

That is cool. Usefull for the players that stuck with research. Would be nice if there was a device that could analyze crew of the alien vessel, the race especially, from their transmittions for instance. If my memory serves me well, there was a Hyperwave decoder was not it? In the 1993 UFO I mean. Also an unknown race would be important info for the player especially if his scientists crave for new aliens to study.

AFAIK config.xsv in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\UFO2 Extraterrestrials\data\scripts\tests contains the research tree.

Yes Skalisko, that´s correct. I have more detailed mentioned about that in the DLC-Threat.

Twiggins and Von Nah, thanks about that with the R & D-Tree.

Thanks. That does appear to be what I was looking for. I know I looked through the \data\scripts folder, but I guess that I never tried the \data\scripts\tests\config.xsv file.

The trouble is that right now the crew is decided (alien races in UFO) when the tactical mission starts (ehm can be used to avoid Ice Queens or get a particular new race needed for some new research even now by reloading game), not when the UFO appears on the globe. The UFO's mission would be useful to know e.g. to first concentrate on "terror" and "retaliation" UFOs.

I added a note to the Armor Tech and Pegasus that the ERA change happens between 11 and 30 days after the research is completed.

I just completed the Sludge Suit research, and saved the game. I found the ERA event in my save file, and I got 13 days.

I downed a Heavy Alien Cruiser with about 12 hours until my ERA change. I decided to wait until the era changes to do the mission so that I will hopefully get some new enemies. I got a mix of megetra and chemical monsters. So yes, the ERA changed when it was supposed to.
