Guilli's Exploration And Expansion Tweaks

Using this with RS:SiS and Shrouded Regions, playing Payback, Large, x2.75 research (I'm a masochist). Few thoughts:

Suggest merging Mining and Research construction into a single (maybe rare) technology. They're very low value, usually not worth investing research, yet keep popping up. Maybe prerequisite tech for some Void Hive for organic empires later. 🤔

Survey speed don't matter. Even with all the slowdowns I'd force onto myself, very rarely would I need even the vanilla surveying tech, and this is using Away Teams from your other mod. It's not a very worthwhile investment unless playing on Huge with low AI empires, which'd be rather boring. Dunno what could be done about it; is overhauling surveying even plausible?

Distance reduction is OK. Perhaps some early tech to expand it for science ships, as crystals or cloaking isn't guaranteed? Wouldn't mind some nebulae-related tech either, as spawning inside one is a huge handicap the whole game.

Anyhow, lovely mods. 👍

Have steam check file integrity of stellaris, that'll force download/update any missing mod stuff too apparently.

Hello just downloaded the additional mods and it say it miss the file descriptor, have you any idea how to fix it ? i did try to download it again and removed it from my computer, but same issue after :(

I see, thanks

Will work fine with those mods. This mod does not overwrite any ship stuff directly. So this will work 100% with those mods.

Hello, just to be sure, does this mod have any compatibility issues with mods like NSC3 which adds new ships, as well as new science type ship?

Updated to 4.0

@Lord Inquisitor from what i can tell, it still works fine

Does anyone know if this mod is compatible with 4.0? And if it isnt will it receive an update?

I think with the new changes to the research tree this mod could use a slight re-balance. Maybe reducing the number of techs to get to "full" normal game speed? Maybe having some of the techs show up earlier?

I am not sure what the answer might be but right now with the 3.10 update the game is already slowed down a ton in the early game. This mod is still amazing I am just not sure I will use it alongside the slowed down research of the base game now :)
