You can also start the game with default settings, then exit and reload. During the load screen you can change them in the menu.

Thank you, yeah this can work, but on some rare occasions, the button to change this will be greyed out.

Thank you for providing the settings file location. I was wondering if that would fix. I like faster constructors.

This works. I previously posted an error I was getting but I was accidentally putting my changes in the MP area instead of SP.

Are one of those "settings" going to let you use the tech tree? By "use" I mean actually be able to pick something. I now remember why I quit the original Star Salvage. Same thing, whatever tech you start with that's it, no matter how many points you have.

I'm having no problems using the Tech tree. The tab order has been changed to match the various specialties but that's by design.

That's a feature not a bug. Star Salvage is broken up into four Specializations: Combat, Engineering, Exploration, & Medical. What you pick determines what you can access.

Follow the basic missions you're given right at the start and it will take you to a point where you choose one. After you choose one, once you get to the Rank 3 mission you can also do the Advanced Training missions, which will either let you get 500 unlock points or a chance to unlock another Specialization. You will also get this same choice again when you hit Rank 5 in your specialization missions. Note that the Rank 5 option repeats - if you start Combat, get to Rank 5 and pick Engineering, then you will be able to take Engineering to Rank 5 and pick either 500UP, Exploration, or Medical, and so on. You can unlock all the trees, but it takes time.

On the non-story starter planets, this is replaced with automatic specialization choices at certain levels.

Very nice, thanks for the detailed reply.
