Color blind options
As someone affected with deuteranomaly, it'd be quite nice to have options built into the game which give alternate options for colors, that way I don't need to choose between getting achievements on Steam and being able to tell which research is preventing me from researching the rocket silo faster than just clicking all of the prerequisites and seeing if they're researched because the red and green used are the same color to me.

Ideally if the options were added, the colors would be reconfigurable (or at least multiple selections of options designed to cater to different flavors of impaired color perception), and even better would be a toggleable symbol placed on things like research cards which denotes the status.

There are options in settings. I don't know how effective they are, you be the judge.

For what it's worth, In Vanilla researches are, at least generally, additive.

You will need Red, and then you will need Red+Green, And then you will need Red+Green+Blue, And then you'll need Red+Green+Blue+.... Any military stuff will use military science packs in addition to red/green/blue/etc depending on the tier.

There's never a point where you'll need Green but not Red, Or a point where you need Blue without also needing green And red. So just count the science packs; 3 science packs, you need red+green+blue, or red+green+grey(military). If it only requires 1 science pack, the prereq is red, if it requires 2, it's a red+green research, and so on.

Edit: Oh, They're also always displayed in a specific order when present and required for the research,
Red->green->grey->blue->purple->yellow->space
You'll never see purple before green, or green before red, or anything like that.

Im not color blind but I am shade blind. Some shades of colors blend into each other. So mild form of color blindness. In some games I have hard time seeing items as well so understand. But I thought there was a color blind option in here? Or was it removed or...

Once the game has loaded you can click on settings. Under the settings menu there is a drop down called color filter. Default is none. If you click on it there are options for the three most common types of human colorblindness.
