Feedback: Research Prerequisite Advanced Fabrication for Car Transmission
<ThingDef ParentName="VVE_CarPartBase"> <defName>VVE_CarTransmission</defName> <label>car transmission</label> <description>A dedicated, automatic transmission system delicately machined from hardened and durable materials.

This is way too research intensive for the technology level involved. Early automatic transmissions, invented at the very beginning of the 20th Century, did not need microprocessors.

<!-- all the costLists are placeholders for now -->

Please consider changing the Research Prerequisite for this to Machining.
