unlock breakthroughs with running save game file

[Dr. PoopFart™]

is there a way / mod to make new breakthroughs researchable in a running game? thx

ChoGGi's ECM mod can do that. From the Cheats menu on the upper left choose Research and click the breakthrough you want to unlock. CTRL+click for multiple techs.

ChoGGi also has a mod called Unlock Breakthroughs which lets you unlock specific breakthroughs in the mod options screen. I haven't used that mod so don't know how well it works with an ongoing game. But it sounds like a possibility if you don't want the full ECM active in your game (I don't, and usually enable/disable when I need it). I do play with the sister mod, Game Rules Breakthroughs, but that won't help with an ongoing game.

ah never mind found it....

F2 to toggle the cheats menu. I thought by default that it was on, but I certainly could be wrong about that.

His "Omega Telescope Unlocks All" is a much better solution than just cheating the breakthroughs. I'd recommend that instead.
