This looks awesome, and I don't think I'll have any issues with it, but just to be safe, I thought I'd ask.

Are there any required steps here? Like, can I just load or unload this mod at will without risk of my save being eaten alive by gremlins? Or should I start a new colony and never unload it so as not to invoke the wrath of Cthulu?

And are there any files edited by this that could conflict with others? Would a mod that edits research Try to have a violent territory war with the research node added by this, or just coexist with it peacefully?
