Is there a way to get all 3 electricity techs?

[Wolfschadow]

I have for the first time this run used gas operated power plants. Through a quest I have gotten free research which gave me the prison after I selected the rehab centre. So I'm wondering now what sources of free research there are so I could get the other electricity techs because I find it weird to be limited like that.

i think the idea is to force your game play into very linear paths. it would be kind of silly to have massive gas powered plants that let you generate vast amounts of power you could offset with wind and parks essentially cheating the risk/reward system they want you to experience.

if you go with clean energy then you have have to play without being too much of a power hog or just set up 10 billion windmills. if you go down the gas powered plant you can go all in on the power hungry techs but then you have to balance not killing off your planet in the process.

the whole system needs a real overhaul since there doesnt seem? to be any real need to go anything but wind and a whole bunch of batteries effectively killing off their own risk/reward system.

which seems odd

I ended up getting the wind for free with a quest that granted 3 research of some sort. This was after choosing the bottom power.

Sometimes you get a random drop, I can't even remember what gave me the second prison tech. I want to assume it was a UFO box but that would be a complete guess.

I unlocked Prisons and kinetic power through some sort of warehouse event (spiders), after having chosen wind power and rehabs. And i took nuclear power later down the line (might regret this because solar seems a bit more infinite, lol.)
