Taking out technology
 

Hi,

Could some kind soul tell me how to modify the game to disable a specific technology? In this case, warp opening and closing (Gravitational Quantum Resonator and Gravitational Condenser).

Thanks in advance

When you start a new game, go to the Technology tab. Unclick any of the tech areas you wish to disallow (in your case Stellar Manipulation).

Note that you can't take out specific tech items - only research areas. (unless, of course, you mod the game...)

Oh, after re-reading it looks like you do want to mod the game...

Make a backup the Components.txt file (It's in your Data subfolder). Then, simply go into components.txt and delete all the entries you wish to take out. Don't forget to delete all the variations -- eg, the Gravitational Quantum Resonator has five entries (Gravitational Quantum Resonator I, II, III, IV, and V)

another thing you can do instead of deleting the unwanted techs is just set the required techs tech level to say 100 and it will never become available. this way they are still in the file in case you want to use them in another game.
