Just be happy and well :). If mods lapse, they lapse, someone will pick up the torch. Thank you for all the hard work on mods you've done until now and will do in the future :D.

Happy (late) New Year everyone, I apologize for the long delay for 1.2. I'll try my best to keep up on updates so another hiatus like this doesn't happen again. As always, if you find something is broken, please let me know.

hi thanks for efficient batteries :)

btw i can see how Random Research could be fun :)

im still trying to bring my 500+ v1.0 savegame into 1.1 and there are Tons of research still to unlock - even with the brain in a jar mod and bonuses below :)

:). It's mainly all the added mod researches combined with random researches that made me speed it up. When you've got 30 possible options instead of 10 at each tier it becomes hard for RNG to choose the ones you need to progress. So I end up clearing most of a tier of research before getting key technologies. It's especially bad with a few like misc robots with poor research organization. Since you can research all of the parts without actually researching how to craft the robots I've ended up in dumb situations where I could craft T3/T4 parts but could not craft a T1 robot lol.

Most mods that add research make them dependent on each other in a logical manner but a few just like throw up 15 researches without any gating and so it bloats the choices that can be randomly selected.

@LazyRed That's awesome, and of course you can add a link to it

@Ralathar44 I use "Change Research Speed" as well, though I like to set it to 4x. If you have a dedicated scientist or two in a colony, it doesn't take long for them to reach lvl 20, which makes research happen a little too fast for my taste. I'm in it for the long haul :)

The combination of these 3 together means that research just kind of happens in the background without me needing to designate it and happens era appropriately almost exclusively. Feels alot more natural of a research flow. Changing the research speed to be faster helps compensate for the research time increase to progress you get from having alot of mod researches combined with the lack of guidance of being random.

I find I rather like that combo :).
